What church can be vs. what it usually is
In this one I talk about the frustrating disconnect between how churches could be a strong, wide-reaching force for good in the world, but so many aren't. Some churches contribute directly to the cycles of hate and violence we see all around us. Other churches focus only on themselves. They…

Contemplative Christianity and the four stages of faith

Catch-up chat: reading Ehrman & Bentley Hart, recent travels
This is a more informal episode where I catch you up on what I'm learning from Bart Ehrman's "Misquoting Jesus" and David Bentley Hart's "That All Shall Be Saved." This isn't a polished summary of biblical criticism or of salvation theologies; it's more of a laid-back chat while I'm still in the...
