Subscribe on iTunes Here! The TNT Publishing Sponsor This is a very special edition of the Theology Nerd Throwdown.  Not only does the BoDaddy try to provoke me (theologically speaking) toward a rowdy defense of the resurrection but we have a very special guest – Todd Littleton.  Todd is the greatest Southern Baptist Minister on planet earth.  He is also the technical brains behind our High Gravity online classes, pastor to the HBC Deacon of the Year, & now officially an Elder. Hence forth all ye Homebrewed Christianity Deacons shall know Todd Littleton as Elder of the Okie. Over the course of the episode we discuss the nature of the resurrection, the divine attributes, the function of doubt in faith, atheism as a spiritual practice, the church and its obligations to the poor, the World Vision debacle, and a number of other goodies. Here’s the blog post where Bo provoked the first segment.  It was a blast to have a group of local Deacons in the room hanging out after we finished the High Gravity session on Mary Daly.  If you are ever visiting LA tweet us up & maybe we will have a recording you can join in on. *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.

Jonnie, Tony Jones & I were lucky to bring the Homebrewed Christianity heat LIVE at the Progressive Youth Ministry conference.  This episode includes some of the excitement that was had.  It kicks off with a tasty interview with DePaul professor of religion, theo-blogger & Moltmaniac Scott Paeth.  We discuss his new book (which is awesome and easy to read) The Niebuhr Brothers for Armchair Theologians, the Hauerwasian Mafia, and the future of progressive Christian ethics in America.  Then Tony Jones and I had a serious battle of au contraire mon fraire… Tony Jones did not win.  That was great BUT… little did we anticipate Jonnie would secretly orchestrate his victory with a statement that blew our mind. If that wasn’t enough we had Trey Pearson of Everyday Sunday & Carter DJ-ing the show & post-pod dance party…oh yeah that happened… Our wonderful host 4th Presbyterian & John Vest were amazing & even arranged to have some delicious Revolution Brewing & Goose Island beer at the celebration. Chalice, the TNT publishing partner, also did some awesome give-away fun at the event. *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.
