Rethinking God with Tacos PODCAST

This conversation is a warm, funny, deeply human tour through Peter Helms’ story—and the theology that leaks out of it like “liquid love.” Peter opens up about life in Germany: a wildly inclusive open-home rhythm where atheists, grandkids, and a “youth group” of 70+ year-olds all belong at the same table. Peter frames the gospel as an awakening to what’s already true: God is not “over there,” but in us, with us, and mysteriously everywhere—drawing bigger circles than we ever could. The throughline is union and kindness: love wins, fear shrinks, stage-platform hierarchies fall away, and the “good news” becomes less about convincing people and more about hosting them—through presence, story, food, laughter, tears, and the simple, stubborn refusal to leave anyone outside the circle.For more info on Peter:https://www.helmsconnect.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.comFor more content like this, go to:https://afamilystory.org/Please rate, review, share, and SUBSCRIBE!Podcast intro and outro music by Wilde AssemblyJOIN our RGWT Subscriber-Based Community:https://afamilystory.audiencetap.com/qc/wU0gQoHxDxJoin A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/e2f4i4Join the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/ Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis Send a donation!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8
