Theology Nerd Throwdown

Christian Piatt of the Homebrewed CultureCast was recently in SoCal to hang with Tripp Fuller and talk about his new book PostChristian: What’s left? Can we fix? Do we care?   They were joined by Bart Campolo, Peter Rollins and Benjamin Cory to talk about the implications of moving on. Imagine this as an a living room conversation in an auditorium.  It was a ruckus affair but we wanted you to hear the first part of the evening where they all shared how they come to the conversation. We have live events coming up in November at AAR in San Diego on Friday night – plan to join us with Catherine Keller, John Cobb, and Jack Caputo  there! We will also be at Christianity21 this year in Phoenix (January 22-24) and at  this year’s PMYC ! This episode is going out as a cross-pollination experiment on both the CultureCast and TNT streams.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

March 2014 in San Diego TransFORM provided Homebrewed with three firsts: The debut of a new gameshow “En Fuego!“ Joerg Rieger says nice things about capitalism Tripp lost a preach-off (to Peter Matthews pictured right) We had a blast catching up with old friends and meeting tons of new folks. Rebekah Berndnt and Micky Jones were great contestants for En Fuego! and Joerg Rieger was a good sport for Bo’s pro-capitalist chiding. You will hear plugs for George Fox Seminary and Chalice Press – both sponsors at the time. Check out Joerg Rieger’s books here and make sure to come to our upcoming live events at AAR in November, at Christianity 21 in Phoenix (January), and at Progressive Youth Ministry in Chicago (March). Peter Matthews and Anthony Smith were there to tell you to tune into Soul Emergence Radio. Make sure to read Micky’s blogs over at Emergent Village. Learn more about your ad choices.
