The trilogy is complete.  Andy's *brand new* book - the Congregation in a Secular Age - is out now.  It's book #3 in his Secular Age trilogy and, unlike other third installments of trilogies, features no Ewoks whatsoever.

It's a karate episode for Christmas! Dr. Andrew Root has been watching Cobra Kai lately and sees a big connection between the evil dojo & Charles Taylor's triangle of Humanism vs. Neo-Nietzscheanism vs. Transcendance.  And, truth be told, this Taylor's triangle reaches far beyond Netflix 80s revival shows.  Join Andy & Derek as they hop on zoom for a socially distanced new episode.

What do pastors do all week?  In the world of the Immanent Frame - where the only thing that matters is what you can touch and see - this question doesn't have a great answer. What does ministry look like in a secular world with the immanent frame?  How can waiting for God to act actually be the faithful response?  And where does Karl Barth fit in to all of this? Find out as we socially distance on Andy's deck discussing this and more on this episode of New Time Religion. Also - the listener hotline is still open.  Give us a call at 651-800-1089 and we might use your question months from now! www.newtimereligion.org www.twitter.com/newtimereligion www.facebook.com/newtimereligion New Time Religion featuring Dr. Andrew Root produced and edited by Derek Tronsgard.

We dig into the mailbag again for a great question on the Church and buildings.  Do we need them?  And do we do when the local church closes down and becomes a Chili's?  Or a Boston Pizza if you're in Canada...  Join us as we socially distance on Andy's deck discussing this and more on this episode of New Time Religion. Also - the listener hotline is still open.  Give us a call at 651-800-1089 and we might use your question months from now! www.newtimereligion.org www.twitter.com/newtimereligion www.facebook.com/newtimereligion New Time Religion featuring Dr. Andrew Root produced and edited by Derek Tronsgard.

We've opened up the listener mailbag to answer a question about how to actually "do" the stuff Andy writes about in his books. This leads Andy to reflect on how often, "doing stuff" is the problem. Join us as we grill brats on the deck, discuss what German philosophers would think about Michael Jordan, and discover the gift of simply "being" in relationship. www.newtimereligion.org www.twitter.com/newtimereligion www.facebook.com/newtimereligion
