Fundamentally Drained: Recent Episodes
Fundamentally Drained
Three Christians exploring Christianity from a perspective other than the fundamental view from which we have become Fundamentally Drained. We’ll hopefully shed new light on old ideas and offer thoughts on the Christian faith in today’s culture, all the while having fun and trying not to offend everyone in the process while we begin conversations we hope you will continue with others.
Today we are joined by Deacon Gary for a conversation about honesty within the church.

Quotes provided by G.N. Gordon
"And the things which are spoken through a prophet are not always to be taken as spoken by God. And even though through Moses God spoke many things, nevertheless Moses commanded other things by his own authority [the bill of divorce is given as an example]....And Paul also shows things in his letters, when he says concerning some things: 'The Lord says and not I,' and concerning others, 'These things moreover I say, not the Lord' (1 Cor. 7)" Quoted from "A High View of Scripture?" by Craig D. Allert Pg. 183
“Understanding the Word of God not as proclamation and Scripture alone but as God’s revelation in proclamation and Scripture, we must understand it in its identity with God Himself. God’s Revelation is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The equation of God’s Word and God’s Son..." Church Dogmatics 1:1 By Karl Barth Pg. 137
"God's Word is God Himself in His revelation.." "Church Dogmatics 1:1" By Karl Barth Pg. 295
"The Bible itself is not the Word of God. Rather, it is supposed to be the witness to the living Word. For Christians, the living Word is Jesus, the Christ, and our knowledge of his love through the Holy Spirit...Please remember. The Bible is not the word. The Bible is a witness, an authoritative witness to the ways and works of the living God, who cannot be captured in propositions and arguments." "51% Christian" By Mark Stenberg. Pg. 113.
"It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him." "From a letter to Mrs. Johnson, November 8, 1952" By C.S. Lewis
"by the way," the Word of God" is never used in the Bible to refer to the Bible. It couldn't since the Bible as a collection of 66 books hadn't been complied yet." "A Generous Orthodoxy" By Brian McLaren. Pg. 163
"In its primary sense, the Word of God is none other than God...The Bible itself declares that, strictly speaking, the Word of God is none other than God the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity, the Word who was made flesh and dwelt among us...Given this biblical understanding of the Word of God, what makes the Bible the word of God is not that it is infallible, nor that it can serve as a source of authority for theological and religious debate. The Bible is the Word of God because in it Jesus, the Word incarnate, comes to us. Any who read the Bible and somehow do not find Jesus in it, have not encountered the Word of God...Final authority rests neither in the church nor in the Bible, but in the gospel, in the message of Jesus Christ, who is the incarnate Word of God." "The Story of Christianity Volume Two" By Justo Gonzalez about Martin Luther's view of the Bible. 29-31
"So it is essentially wrong, in the final analysis, to ask if the Word of God is a book, or if it is found in a book or within the text of a book. The Bible itself and the Tradition of Faith in the Church respond to another question. That question is: "WHO is the Word of God?" The Word of God is a person: Jesus Christ! (John 1:1-5)." "Orthodox Christian Beliefs About the Bible" By Stanley Samuel Harakas. Pg. 3

In this episode, we begin a conversation on Drinkin and Cussin. What is wrong with drinking alcohol and how should we use it in our lives according to the Bible. We discuss the Wedding of Cana story and how 1st Century weddings or feast were a week long and the “partying” mentality as we know today was not how they viewed these events. Also, we talk about when to drink and when we should abstain with regards to not being a stumbling block.

In this episode, we begin the conversation on the question “What should Christians fight for?”. As followers of Jesus, is there any cause or reason that we should fight? If not physical, fighting then are there things that we should use our voice to oppose or as Father Tom says in the episode, “resist”.
At the end of our discussion we went around the room and named some charities or ministries that we honor and appreciate and wanted to share those with everyone. The information for each is below:
- New Hope Oklahoma - https://www.newhopeoklahoma.org/ - Assists children who have parents that are incarcerated.
- Episcopal Relief & Development - http://www.episcopalrelief.org/ - ERD works in areas around the worlds to alleviate hunger, promote health, create economic opportunities and responds to disasters. 100% of donations to this organization go to those who need it.
- Hosanna Institute of the Sahel (H.I.S.) - https://www.his-usa.org/ - Even though Justin always butchers their name (too much redneck in that boy), H.I.S. do an amazing job providing better health through clinics, clean water and many other life essential items.

In this episode, we begin the conversation on Episcopal Fundamentalism and attempt to discuss fundamentalism in our own denomination. I think something Father Everett said sums it up well, “it is when we begin to worship those patterns rather than what the patterns point us to.” We have lots of laughs on this one and we're pretty terrible at staying on topic too. This is an older recording which we did in person and we hope you enjoy it and the sound quality isn’t too bad.

In this episode, we continue the conversation on How We Should Act as Christians. We talk about things that we can do which will serve Christ and teach us who we are to become. How we work towards these acts so that we are the same person in all parts of our lives. Then we talk about our behavior on social media and how we should approach those areas as Christians. We talk about the liturgical calendar and how it can separate us from the rest of the world. We wrap with asking that you do not get discouraged but remember that thousands of small changes/acts will mold a behavior that is loving, and grace filled.

In this episode, we begin a conversation on How we Should Act as Christians. We begin with how we were supposed to act in the past and from other traditions it was really focused on what we are not to do. Then, we move into discussing some ways of how we are called to act in the world. We talk about how we should not separate how we act out in the world and how we act at home. Lastly, it is mentioned that once we decide to change our lives we don't just immediately become the person and act in a way that God calls us to act but instead that it takes practice and a conscious awareness to move into a place where how we act is second nature (like Everett’s shoe example in the episode…haha). Enjoy!

In this episode, we continue the conversation on Scripture where we try and make it to the part about truth and fact but there is just too much good stuff before that (haha…yes, there is an episode 3). Scripture is compared to how we are to view the incarnation and then how Jesus is the example we follow over the Bible, but it is the Bible also that tells us about Jesus.

In this episode, we begin the conversation on Scripture and what it is, how we see it and use it. We want to explore the differences between truth and fact but who knows where this will go and how many episodes it could be…I mean, how do you summarize the word of God! No worries, we’ll still try like we all do and as Tom always says…I’m sure we’ll “wrap this up” where no other questions are left unanswered, HA! Oh wait, we’re just beginning the convo…never mind. 😊

- Shepherd’s the “Lowliest of the Low” - After this episode was recorded; we’ve had some internal dialogue as to whether shepherds were the “lowliest of the low”. Tom’s final thoughts were “Luke Timothy Johnson's commentary on Luke he says that we should not assume a criminal element in the job of shepherd, that comes from much later Jewish rabbinic source, however we should assume a lower economic level (as with Joseph and mary).”

In this episode, we begin the conversation on the scriptural ideas of turning the other cheek and then idea of “Just War” which is the idea that some wars are justified and necessary. How should we, as Christians, determine when war is just or do we always turn the other cheek? Whew…this one is a doozy!

In this episode, we begin the conversation on Repentance or the word Repent! This word or act, for many, has a very negative connotation that we discuss in the first part of this episode. As Tom points out, in referencing NT Wright, the verse says, “For God so LOVED the world…” not hated it. Therefore, and hopefully this comes across in the episode, repentance is a very important and positive word in the Christian faith. It does not have to have all the negative baggage along with it and can be a great practice for a person as well as a community as discussed. Dig in, get some coffee and enjoy some laughs with us as we talk about repentance. And then Repent!!!

In this episode, we begin the conversation on “Fundamentalism”.

There are many forms of fundamentalism and while we don’t (ever) touch on every one we share some of our thoughts here at the negative aspects of it. Join us for a lot of laughs and poorly pronounced words (#rednecks) as we explore Fundamentalism and hopefully begin a meaningful conversation for you.

Check it out and then join us as more episodes drop twice a month. And then maybe you'll understand more about us being Fundamentally Drained and
