Dec 03 2024 61 mins  
Hey, everyone, I'm happy to introduce you to Liz Charlotte Grant and her forthcoming book: Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the Bible.

Oct 21 2024 64 mins  
It was great to be with my friends Tom Oord and Tammy Vogt recently, talking about our experience(s) with The Church of the Nazarene—both the good and the bad.

God, Sex, and Rich People with Mattie Jo Cowsert

Sep 10 2024 58 mins  
Mattie Jo Cowsert is an actor and author. I think the courage she displays unpacking her story around, you guessed it, God, sex, and rich people is something that a lot of people are going to benefit from. I love her spirit and her energy for finding healthy ways forward for young people (all people). We had a lot of fun on this episode. Her book is out today (as of the release of

We're talking art, poetry, life and some theology with the poet and author, Darrell Epp. I had a chance to read his brand new book (out today) called Alien Phonics Primer. Darrell's writing is super interesting, fun, subversive, and meaningful. And, not to be overlooked ... it's all in lowercase! I hope you'll pick up a copy of the book which is all over the internet and follow him

Has anyone in the English-speaking world done more to advance the idea of process-influenced open and relational theology than Tripp Fuller? Hmm, probably not.

Find him all over the interwebs,
