07 | Rachel Held Evans and the Theological Time Machine

In 2011, Tripp sat down with Rachel Held Evans (1981-2019) to record some conversations for a project that never got off the ground. This never-before-heard audio provides a fascinating glimpse into what was going on in the church and the world — and in the head and heart of one of the most beloved Christian authors at the time. But it also reveals just how much has changed, and how no one in 2011 could have foreseen the political and cultural upheavals that would rock the evangelical church. Also joining us on this episode are Ryan Burge, to discuss those changes, and Nadia Bolz-Weber, to share what it was like to meet Rachel, befriend her, and lose her. ______ Music by The Cobalt Season (compliments of Ryan Sharp), Solomon’s Porch (compliments of Ben Johnson) Emerged is a crowdfunded project.
