Theology Nerd Throwdown

It’s a soapy blabbery with Peter Rollins and Tony Jones. This was recorded during the Soapbox event hosted by Pete here in Redondo Beach. The attendees were hanging out, having brews and being jovial while we blabbed. Pete explains the gospel of radical theology, Tripp discusses process and Tony giggles. Plus you hear everyone’s worst public speaking event. Enjoy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  This is second sold out live show from the Disciples of Christ General Assembly in Columbus Ohio. It was a spectacular evening and some it was recorded. What wasn’t recorded was taking our guest Andy on his first trip to Waffle House. In this episode you will get… * Adam Phillips & Andy Goebel shall be in the house talking about their church plants getting kicked out of one denomination and welcomed into another for being welcoming. * Phil Snider, GLAD award recipient and postmodern pulpit practitioner, joins us for some sermonic convo and a Preach Off vs Tripp. * There’s a display of Tripp’s lack of cultural awareness, Amy’s endless reservoir of fear & Christian’s excellent French accent. * We have some heart felt tunes from Andra Moran & Trey and Carter from Populis join us for some jams.  This podcast was sponsored by Phillips Theological Seminary. Josh Linton was in the house for Phillips Our Zesty Sponsor and got everyone their first two drinks. Can you imagine a cooler place to go to school? Make sure you check them out and holla at Josh with any questions. ** Get your Tickets for Subverting the Norm III with the discount code HBCSTN & the Theology Nerd Bootcamp with Jack Caputo** Learn more about your ad choices.

Tripp & Greg talking in 2013 It is time to start preparing for the Presidential Election! Ok that might not be super exciting news BUT that won’t spotty rest of your water cooler from talking religion and politics in the near future. Luckily our favorite ex-pastor and religious journalist Greg Horton has agreed to join the podcast for some nerdy fun. In this episode we talk about our not-so-Christian nation, the confederate flag, USA flag in sanctuaries, wedding cakes, love of science, the most BA Pope, how to apply a religious label and other goodies. Listen and then holla back on the SpeakPipe to let us know what we should talk about next on an election year update. Greg Horton is a freelance writer and professor of English, Humanities, and Philosophy. He lives in downtown Oklahoma City in a substandard apartment that befits his status as a member of the fourth estate. He has published more than 800 articles (for real money) on topics as wide ranging as religion, wine, travel, politics, culture, music, and arts. He is most often on twitter, but fb remains open on his browser, too: twitter.com/expastor. It may be that he will finally update his blog soon, but since it doesn’t earn money, maybe not: typepad.com/theparish. Over a period of about 15 years, Horton worked for three different church staffs in three different traditions, including a brief, mind-numbing stint as a senior pastor. Somehow, he has managed to turn degrees in Bible (B.S.) and Religion (M.A.) into actual non-religious credentials.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
