Bonhoeffer's Black Jesus pt. 1 with Reggie Williams
If you’re new to the podcast, or forgot what we do, in each episode we explore culture and theology like they matter, because they do. Maybe that sound strange, but often it the way we learn and talk about our faith can feel abstract, like ideas that are “good to know” but hard to apply. Which...

The People’s Theology is a show exploring theology and culture. In each episode, we explore a question, theme, or topic in dialogue with our faith. Today that question is, “how do we count?” Maybe that sounds weird, but we all have a way of “counting” especially when it comes to success. We...

S2:E10 – Good Trouble w/ Leonce Crump
If you’ve been listening to the people’s theology recently, you are familiar (probably exhaustingly so) with the themes and questions we’re wrestling with: Mainly, why is the world the way that it is and, what do we do about it?

S2:E9 – Beloved Community
Our history is full of saints and radicals who have asked the question, “is this how it has to be” and then revealed to us that it doesn’t. If the only image of the “Church” we have is the modern American white evangelical community than, well, we should all go home and give up. I’m not…

S2:E7 – From Bolivia with Hope
In this season of The Peoples Theology we’ve been asking two questions: why is the world the way that it is? And what can we do about it? But the truth is, we haven’t really been asking the first question instead we’ve asked “why is the West the way that it is?” We have a habit of prioritizing…

S2:E6 – Ordinary Power

S2:E3 – What is Water

Episode 9 - Building Babel
We live in tension. We wake up and breathe the air tension every day and the question most of us will ask is, “what do we do in the tension?” Can we fix it? Make it better? Resolve it? These are questions we’ve been asking for all of human history. Questions that have driven our most significant...

Episode 8 - Stranger Days
We live in strange days. It's not hard to see because the reality can be felt in nearly every domain of life and culture, but it can be hard to name why things seem so strange.

Episode 4 - Hell Bound
When we talk about God there are certain questions that, for many of us, come to mind. One of the most important questions is, is God good? It's an important question, and it exist and presses in on us for a lot of really good reasons. History bares witness to horrendous events attributed to God...
