When I first met Jason Micheli in the fall of 1996 at UVA’s First Year Fellowship, he was already a full-grown man with a deep baritone voice. I was pretty goofy and socially awkward so I didn’t have many friends at First Year Fellowship but Jason was always willing to talk to me. I felt cool when […]
Today on Crackers and Grape Juice, we shared an interview I did with Alicia Crosby and AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez who both participated in the Standing Rock gathering last month. They shared powerful testimony about what it’s like to be in a community that truly prays without ceasing. It was a huge learning experience for everything to be […]
This week on Crackers and Grape Juice, I talked with one of my favorite people Jarell Wilson. We started off talking about Satan, but as our conversations often go, we went a whole lot of places. One of the basic unresolved dilemmas that we raised is how to tell the difference between when we’re being […]
This week’s Crackers and Grape Juice episode addressed the question “Is Jesus the only way to God?” We answered this question as we answer most questions by saying it depends on what you mean. The most common Bible verse that people cite when they make a claim about Christ’s exclusivity is John 14:6, where Jesus […]
A couple of weeks ago in Austin, I got to talk about my book on a live podcast event with Shane Blackshear for his podcast Seminary Dropout. You should definitely subscribe to his podcast! We covered a lot of ground in scripture including the Garden of Eden, Jesus’ battles with the Pharisees, God’s whirlwind speech […]
In our latest podcast on Crackers & Grape Juice, we respond to the question in a recent Confessing Movement newsletter: “What is the gospel?” As is often the case, I was put in the strange position of defending the conservative evangelicals. As much as I critique them, they are my people. I think Jason, Teer, […]
Emily Joy was my final Wild Goose interview. She grew up in a homeschooling fundamentalist Christian family and went to college at Moody Bible Institute. Like many fundamentalists, Emily was taught that the intuitions of her heart were evil. Part of her journey into becoming a poet was learning to love and trust her heart. […]
I’m continuing to play catch up on my Wild Goose interviews for Crackers and Grape Juice. The fourth interview was with one of my best friends Bec Cranford. Bec really embodies the spirit of Wild Goose, which is to say she’s a wild, heavily tattooed Pentecostal wonder-woman. Bec has been through a lot of heavy […]
I’ve gotten way behind in sharing my Wild Goose interviews on the Crackers and Grape Juice podcast. If you haven’t heard of Brandan Robertson, you need to hear this interview and get his new book Nomad. Brandan grew up in very difficult circumstances in a trailer park with an abusive alcoholic father. He got saved […]
If you’re a super nerdy Methodist and you know about the production Chuck Knows Church, you might be familiar with a series they did called “The Committee.” It’s a story about a dying church that puts together a committee to try to revitalize the church. It’s corny in the adorable way that all official United Methodist Church […]
