Theology Nerd Throwdown

I am very excited to announce the launch of a new podcast – the Story of God-Cast! Friend of the podcast and down right zesty scholar Barry Taylor will be joining me on this companion podcast to the brand new National Geographic Channel show, The Story of God with Morgan Freeman.  It is a 6 week mini-series in which Morgan exploring the most basic questions human being have been asking. Each episode is simultaneously a travel documentary to sacred spaces, an investigation into the history of each topic and a rich comparative examination of the world’s historic wisdom traditions. You will see a diversity of answers and expressions from all sorts of cultures and texts, from the Mayan Temple to Joel Osteen in Houston to Jerusalem. Sunday Nights on the National Geographic Channel starting April 3rd you can join the fun (or set your DVR if Zombies and Dragons are on). Then make sure to check out the new podcast episode here. Here is a teaser podcast episode. The show will answer all sorts of questions but here are twenty you won’t find during it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Prepare yourself for some live theological goodness from the Subvert the Norm conference. In this episode you will hear Tripp and Jonnie talk with Catherine Keller about her newest book Cloud of the Impossible: Negative Theology and Planetary Entanglement among other subversively inspired topics. Then Jack Caputo arrives to settle a significant disagreement with Peter Rollins about the nature of humanity. It was simultaneously nerdy and hilarious, so do not listen until you are prepared to rub your chin while laughing. This podcast was done under the influence of some spectacular beverages brewed by Oklahoma’s Mad Farmer Brewing master – Charlie Sheldon. He not only can brew it up with the best of them, but he is the God Father of the Homebrewed Deaconate.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
