Episode 84 - Tribalism in the Church Part 1 (w/Travis Carreiro)

The only podcast on the Internet returns! And this time we're joined by somebody who I can safely say is a lot smarter than us (at least in terms of knowledge that is actually important in life). That's right, on this episode, we're joined by our good friend Travis Carreiro, who has some intellect to add to the chaos of our usual train of thought. We're talking about the idea of tribalism in the church. Christian culture seems to always revolve around groups of people socializing under the banner of certain theologies. It goes so deep that identity is found in these concepts. Travis believes that one can believe in God and exist in the church, while having a person identity separate from the church. From there we dive into the idea of getting legalistic with God, what it means to be human, rules vs human nature, worship in mega churches, and so many other great ideas. Special mentions to Tim Keller, Paul Tillich, Peter Rollins, Erick Erickson, Jordan Peterson, and Russell Brand, whose thoughts inspired our conversation in one way or another.  This episode of Topicocalypse is brought to you by Miracle Fruit Oil's Vitabrace High Performance Gaming Wristband.
