In this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Malinda Berry (Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary), Dan and Malinda cover nonviolence in the Anabaptist tradition, where Anabaptism comes from, the questionable emphasis in these traditions on martyrdom stories, our psychological instincts toward “purity,” and even exposure therapy and the idea that “time heals all wounds.”Malinda’s Faculty page:https://www.ambs.edu/employees/malinda-elizabeth-berry/Richard Foster's Book “The Streams of Living Water: Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christian Faith”:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=streams+of+living+water+richard+foster&hvadid=587486551675&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9019667&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=1310001887124060575&hvtargid=kwd-377313966157&hydadcr=22599_13379366&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_6v26802mcy_e____________________Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Dan is joined by friend and musician Brian Hall (TENTS) to talk his journey through different corners of Christianity, his relationship with his highly-spiritual father, staying out of dogma, and all that as it relates to a beautiful song called “Hutah!” The song is part of Brian’s attempt to reclaim some of his bodily, charismatic birthright in a post-deconstruction landscape.

My guest Karen Timbals shares my love of Jonathan Haidt and his Moral Foundations Theory, featured in his book The Righteous Mind. But what happens when use that framework as a lens through which to interpret commonly-used religious language? In what way do liberal and conservative churches make moral appeals to their congregants? yourmorals.org_____________Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Dan talks with pastor Jace Broadhurst. They start out going for a “Worries About Progressive Christianity” episode format, but end up talking about the necessity (or lack thereof) of belief in the resurrection, miracles, and specific items in the major Christian creeds. Along the way, they talk about competing visions of God’s glory and authority, the role of hermeneutics (how we approach a text like Scripture and interpret it), and more.Jace’s IG @jacebroadhurstJohn Shelby Spong’s book “Unbelievable: Why Neither Ancient Creeds Nor the Reformation Can Produce a Living Faith Today”:https://www.amazon.com/Unbelievable-Neither-Ancient-Reformation-Produce/dp/0062641298Rethinking Faith Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rethinking-faith/id1438696524_____________Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/  Learn more about your ad choices.
