Listen in our interview with Jeffry Wells and Vikki Randall on the book, "Preaching the Uncontrolling Love of God: Sermons, Essays, and Worship Elements from the Perspective of Open, Relational, and Process Theology." In this volume the editors share a selection of elements that can be used in a variety of worship settings. Jeff and Vikki talk about some examples, how the book was created, and how it might be used in your context.

Jonathan Foster is a theologian, pastor, grandfather, lover of the outdoors, and football.
Here's more about him in his own words: I’m into a bunch of stuff, the best of which is granddaughter, mountains, friendships, and art, but I’m also the co-founder and executive director OpenTable.network, a new denominational tribe empowering faith communities, pastors, chaplains, and spiritual directors in their local, missional contexts.
Oh, and I write. Find me on Substack or pick up a book. Some of my books have won awards, and some haven’t. It’s sad, the not-winning-awards part, but I do get to add Dr. to my name as I successfully defended my dissertation in mimetic theory and open and relational theology. So, make sure to let everyone know about that news.
Let’s see, what else? Well, Tom Oord and I help make books at SacraSagePress, so if you write in a generally progressive theological way and are interested in partnering with us to bring your book to life, let me know.
Oh, I also hang out with people on my podcast and talk about all kinds of things that intersect with theology.
If you can’t find me on FB, it’s because I’m blocked 🤔, but no problem, join a few thousand other people and subscribe to my Substack page, where you will get a post at least twice a month. Or find me on the IG @jonathan_foster.

Tim Burnette is the lead pastor at Way Collective, a community of shared practices and values, in Santa Barbara, CA. (https://www.waycollective.org/)
Tim is a dreamer, philosopher, and theologian. He has spent years reflecting on the evolving Christian faith, and earned his doctorate from Claremont School of Theology, where he studied process metaphysics, philosophy and theology, and compassion.
A self-proclaimed Whitehead nerd, he embraces theopoetics as a lens for seeing the world, with a practical emphasis on communal formation, beauty/aesthetics, and spirituality. He is a partner, father, writer, musician, and avid reader. His interests include vinyl, food, philosophy, poetry, guitar tones, baseball, and all things on the fringe. He is an advocate for love and reconciliation across boundaries of faith and non-faith.
He agrees with Vonnegut that you can see all kinds of things from the edge that you can’t see from the center. Although...sometimes it helps to be centered out on the edge as well.
A Poem by Tim Burnette:
Every breath of the world
is a dying into life.
Like the dew of dawn
soft as sea glass,
wet with possibility,
waits in darkness for the silent voice.
That ceaseless refrain
calling stardust to sigh.
Nudging it perpetually
unto its becoming.
To risk the drench of wonder again
and birth a day
unlike any other day.
Young and wild, with light
quivering like a fawn,
naive and new,
fresh and intoxicating as baby's breath.
A momentary bloom of the timeless and flashing dance
that wilts evermore
back into the belly of reality.
As the dampening glow of Mother Eve
spreads her cascading melancholy.
A balm of passing beauty
that coats like honey
and conspires in all things
welcoming each one in its goodness.
To the rising chest of the horizon
and to its tender, falling return.
A Blessing by Tim Burnette:
Go now and bless the whole world
For we are all connected.
Say yes to your life’s adventure
Noticing and cultivating Beauty as you go.
Cover one another with a friendly presence
Laugh with those who are joyful
And cry with those in sorrow
Eat with anyone and everyone
Always doing your best to ensure that those without have enough
And love with courage
For love is the only way forward
And you are loved, you are loved,
You are deeply loved
Remember there is grace and beauty in the becoming
And go in the name and peace of Christ.
Amen.
Join us for a great discussion on the United States Supreme Court’s rulings on religious displays with a special emphasis on the Nativity scene cases. With our guest, Dr. Rebecca McCumbers Flavin, we'll ponder how the religion clauses of the First Amendment carve out space for individual religious freedom while at the same time preventing the government from establishing any particular faith as an official government religion. Episode note: Due to a round of COVID this episode is delayed from when we had planned to air it. So whip up your favorite holiday beverage and enjoy this episode on holiday and other religious displays. ///// Rebecca McCumbers Flavin, Ph.D. is a Senior Lecturer at Baylor University in the

Long December, written and directed by Thomas Torrey, with the musical talents of Stephen Williams and John Mark McMillan, is a musical drama about a struggling musician chasing his dreams of stardom. The film features a soundtrack of original music captured live on-camera, and is a poignant story about hopes, ambitions, failure and success.
This thoughtful edition to the Christmas movie genre, steps away from the rom-com, and into reflection on what it means to experience a life well lived. This movie is worth watching all through the Advent, Christmas, and New Year seasons.
We sit down with writer and director, Thomas Torrey, to talk about the movie and explore the realities of changing dreams and hopes, and how we learn to live with life the way it shakes out. We'll hear about his recent NY marathon triumph, how the movie came about, the starring musicians, and future plans.
You can learn more about Long December at longdecember.movie and https://www.instagram.com/longdecember.movie/

Tyg Taylor is the founder of Wholly Kicks. He likes to ask: What moves you to action? How do you get out of your head and take the first few steps in your walk?
These are the reflections that moved Tyg to become the founder and Executive Director for Wholly Kicks, a 501c(3) serving Aurora and the greater Denver area. In short, Tyg is about action. After over 28 years as a "more traditional" pastor, in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Tyg turned his focus to serving those on the margin. He felt the call to get out of his head and into the streets to help those experiencing economic disparity.
Wholly Kicks is based in Aurora and serves the greater Denver area with 3 primary goals in mind:
- Promoting the rights and well-being of those experiencing homelessness in everything they do.
- Supporting Aurora, Colorado and the surrounding Denver Metro area.
- Focus on reaching those in impoverished areas or at risk of homelessness.
Wholly Kicks exists for the purpose of “walking with” those in impoverished areas or those at risk of or, experiencing homelessness. Through the distribution of new shoes and socks, the focus of Wholly Kicks is to mentor and build relationships in “walking with” individuals experiencing economic disparity.

Tyg Taylor is the founder of Wholly Kicks. He likes to ask: What moves you to action? How do you get out of your head and take the first few steps in your walk?
These are the reflections that moved Tyg to become the founder and Executive Director for Wholly Kicks, a 501c(3) serving Aurora and the greater Denver area. In short, Tyg is about action. After over 28 years as a "more traditional" pastor, in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Tyg turned his focus to serving those on the margin. He felt the call to get out of his head and into the streets to help those experiencing economic disparity.
Wholly Kicks is based in Aurora and serves the greater Denver area with 3 primary goals in mind:
- Promoting the rights and well-being of those experiencing homelessness in everything they do.
- Supporting Aurora, Colorado and the surrounding Denver Metro area.
- Focus on reaching those in impoverished areas or at risk of homelessness.
Wholly Kicks exists for the purpose of “walking with” those in impoverished areas or those at risk of or, experiencing homelessness. Through the distribution of new shoes and socks, the focus of Wholly Kicks is to mentor and build relationships in “walking with” individuals experiencing economic disparity.

If the world is governed by certain physical laws, what does it mean for God to act in the world? During this episode, we'll conclude our discussion with Dr. Brian Gamel who will talk with us about Rudolf Bultmann! (one of the greatest theologians of the 20th Century!) We'll look at the context around Bultmann’s theological development, his view of demythologizing God, the Resurrection, and other aspects of divine action in the modern world.
If you want to read more about Rudolf Bultmann, Dr. Gamel recommends the work of David Congdon. https://a.co/d/73oW6y8

In this episode we learn more about Laudato Si' and the deep theology behind this encyclical. We are challenged to consider that:
We are of the earth. And, how is the earth dreaming through us of the change, as we confront the need to address climate change?
Latin for "Praised Be," Laudato Si' is the name of Pope Francis' encyclical on caring for our common home — planet earth. Join us was we host Dr. Celeste Rossmiller to talk about all things Laudato Si', a groundbreaking Papal encyclical on climate and Catholic social teaching. Dr. Rossmiller shares the history behind this document, its impact on Catholicism and the world and large, and the call it fives for all humans to save the planet. We will have even more brewtastic knowledge to drop in Part 2.

Get ready for a fun one! In this 196th episode of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and Janel chat with Dr. Thomas J. Oord on reasons we should stop saying "God is omnipotent." Oord suggests a new word, "Amipotence,"which combines two Latin words ami and potens. The first means “love,” and we find it in words like “amicable,” “amity,” and “amigo.” The second is the Latin word for power or influence, and we find it in “potential” and “potency.” Amipotence is pronounced, “am” (as in “Amsterdam”), with a short “i” (as in “it”), and “po-tence” (similar to “moments”). Oord coined this word to stress the priority of love over power in God. Divine love (ami) comes logically and conceptually prior to divine power (potens). Oord believes that we best understand God in general and divine power in particular if we give love pride of place. Love comes first.

On Dec 2, the Fourth Annual Wholly Kicks Santa in the Park event will give away 1000 pair of kicks! We got the pleasure of interviewing Tyg Taylor and learning more about this great event. We wanted to share this beautiful story with you as we start the holiday season. If you'd like to help out, you can donate at whollykicks.org.
Wholly Kicks is a non-profit organization whose presence in Aurora, Colorado, and the Denver Metro area, exists for the purpose of “walking with” those in impoverished areas or those at risk of or, experiencing homelessness. Through the distribution of new shoes and socks, the focus of Wholly Kicks is to mentor and build relationships in “walking with” individuals experiencing economic disparity.
///
Tyg”er” Taylor who is the Founder and Executive Director of Wholly Kicks. Tyg founded Wholly Kicks in November 2018 after a curious conversation in an alley with a man wearing a bowtie who reflected with him about what it means to walk in the shoes life has given to you…
Tyg grew up in Steamboat Springs, attended Colorado State University and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in the Bay Area, before landing in Monument, CO for 28 years as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church. During his time in Monument, Tyg spent many years working amongst those experiencing homelessness in Colorado Springs. Tyg’s experiences of visiting homeless camps, hanging out in the park and at low rent motels, learning the systems and culture of homelessness, creating friendships and developing leaders amongst the community of those living outdoors and on the street, led to the vision of moving to North Aurora to work as a street pastor along Colfax, working with other non-profits, and the development of Wholly Kicks. Wholly Kicks asks the question: Who You Walking With?
Tyg loves spending time on the street in North Aurora and East Denver, meeting new faces and kindling relationships with those whom he has met over the years. Tyg’s greatest joy of leading Wholly Kicks is creating leaders right from those experiencing homelessness, to run new shoe events! Tyg sees his life as a mission to Walk With Others: using his heart, his experience and relationships, his truck and resources, his boldness and trust, his limitations and possibilities, to live a life that serves and loves others.

Get ready for some Zen! Janel and Ryan chat with Dr. Lisa Pettitt on this timely episode channeling the late Thich Nhat Hanh's Engaged Buddhism on the 194th BT pod! Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. He founded the ENGAGED BUDDHISM movement including the School of Youth and Social Service, a grassroots relief organization of 10,000 volunteers based on the Buddhist principles of non-violence and compassionate action.
“In engaged action, you don’t have to die to get your message across. We have to remember that even if our protest is very strong, protesting may not be able to remove the fear, the anger, and the craving in those we are protesting against. Real protest is to help them wake up and take up a new direction. To do that is real action. We can do it by setting an example. You create a community of peace and true solidarity. You consume in a way that protects the planet. You speak and listen in a way that transforms anger and division. You live simply and yet you are happy. This is a radical way of peace making. You embody good health for yourself and for the world and live in such a way that proves a future can be possible.”
///
Dr. Lisa Pettitt - Dr. Pettitt has a BA in Psychology with a Theology minor from the College of St. Benedict and a PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Denver. Dr. Pettitt was ordained in Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing in 2011. She is a feminist who has learned about disability and self-advocacy from her sister with Down Syndrome and anti-racism and intersectionality from wise and generous women and men of color. Lisa teaches yoga, volunteers with high school students around topics of environmental activism and positive youth development, and spends time in contemplation and deep listening.

On the 193rd episode of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and Janel chat with Rev. Dr. Josh Ritter and Rev. Sharyl West Loeung about MLK and his Interfaith world. As we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an ordained baptist minister, and pastor, we remember his work as a civic interfaith leader who collaborated with many from other traditions and faiths such as Dorothy Day, Thich Nhat Hanh, Rabbi Abraham Heschel, Paul Tillich, and Gandhi. Many know Dr. King as the head of the civil rights movement, but fewer know of his significant interfaith friendships and influences that shaped him into the leader that he came to be. Dr. King also championed the practice of nonviolence and nonviolent communication, which he also learned from his interfaith connections.
///
Rev. Dr. Josh Ritter, M.Div., Ph.D., is a communication consultant and a trainer and facilitator of public deliberation who focuses on risk mitigation, diversity education, and conflict transformation. He worked in the higher education sector for over 15 years as a chaplain and a teacher of rhetoric, writing, leadership, and public speaking. He is an interfaith activist, a minister of 20 years, a contemplative Christian, and co-founder and co-owner of Kardia House Consulting, LLC.

Worship: Matrix and Human Experience – Why liturgy and the Word matter more than God as an object of worship with Rev. Dr. Leslie King*
"It's the question that drives us, Neo. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did" – Trinity (The Matrix)
Ryan and Janel sit down and chat with Leslie as she speaks of caution when it comes to worship. We'll walk through several suppositions that integrative worship is cautious about one at a time, parse out essential traditional elements Rev. King carries forward when preparing worship services, and look at current longings or emerging understandings that she is wrestling with in her faith tradition and community.
///
*Rev. Dr. Leslie King began her service to First Presbyterian Church of Waco in 2012. She received her BA from Kansas University (’91) and her Masters of Divinity from McCormick Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Chicago (‘94). In 2010 she completed her Doctor of Ministry at Saint Paul School of Theology in Kansas City Missouri with an emphasis in Spirituality and Organizational Change.
Since September 2020, she is a yoga instructor (RYT 200) with Spirit Bear Yoga and (RYT 500) with My Vinaysa Practice. She's a member of Yoga Alliance. She enjoys leading yoga flows for the youth and adults of the church. Her particular interest is in Yin and Restorative yoga as it relates to spiritual well-being. Piano competency is slowly emerging, and music is a source of a lot of joy. She has been married to DJ King since November of 1996 and together they enjoy watching their three young adult children, Cody, Katie and Claire make their way in the world. With a menagerie of stray animals, the Kings are glad to call Waco “home”.

We are back for part 2: Theology revolving around the Drug War: Globalization, Violence, and Salvation with Bill Walker III!
Based on Dr. Bill Walker's book, “A Theology of the Drug War” (2019), this 2 part podcast is a political and theological reflection on the violence and injustice that has taken place in Mexico and Central America since 2006 as a result of the drug war. In order to understand and respond to this conflict in the age of globalization, Dr. Walker presents a theology of the drug war that transcends both a Eurocentric conception of the world and a merely political account of salvation.
So, get ready! Grab a drink, bust out those earbuds, & get situated, friends!
Bill Walker currently serves as the Director of Hill House, a Christian Study Center in Austin. Dr. Walker is a lecturer in theology and ethics at Baylor University and Truett Theological Seminary. He received his PhD in philosophy of religion and theology from Claremont Graduate University and his MDiv from Truett Seminary. His research interests include political theology, economic ethics, and postcolonial studies.

Pull out your earbuds, and get ready for some much needed community talk! Ryan and Janel have a chat with Sharyl West Loeung on the 188th episode of the Brew Theology Podcast!
We will explore the complexity of finding places of belonging amid and after a global pandemic, and if we are honest with ourselves, even before the spread of Covid-19. Can we reimagine our traditions to create spaces for belonging, where our tables are a place for gathering as our truest selves?
Sharyl West Loeung, M.Div, has spent most of her career in K-12 and higher education helping students discover what it means to belong in our diverse world. Her passion for intercultural, intergenerational, and interfaith friendships has guided her career as a DEI educator. She is the co-founder of Kardia House Consulting, which teaches generous communication as a means to resist polarization and move toward organizational health and relational wholeness. She also hosts events such as the upcoming Belief and Belonging Festival. Sharyl is married and has lived in Waco, Texas with her two sons and a hoard of cats for 16 years. Her love language is article-sending and her happy place is a lunch date with a friend, no clock, sans Covid.

This August Janel and Ryan attended The Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago, IL. It was a great time of seeing how the world practices a wide variety of religious experiences. Set on the shores of Lake Michigan, it was a time of learning, reflection, and experience.
The Parliament of the World's Religions describes itself as the world’s premier interfaith convening of civic, spiritual and grassroots changemakers. It is an international nonprofit, non-governmental organization affiliated with the United Nations Department of Public Information.
Its origins are rooted in the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where the first convening of the World Parliament of Religions created a global platform for east-west religious engagement.
In total, over 7,000 people attended the parliament, representing 212 spiritual traditions and 95 countries.

The BREW THEOLOGY Force Awakens (Part 2). May The 4th Be With You… get ready for this special Live Podcast event!
Featuring
The George Strikes Back!
Attack of the Eisenbaum!
& Return of the Ry-Guy to the Mile High!
This is The Way to a galactic podcast packed with hyperspace theology, laser sharp theologians, rebellious questions, dark-sided brews, and party favors - unofficially - endorsed by Ewoks (Laugh if up, fuzzball! Cuz we partied, Endor-style!)
The force is strong with these two star theologians, Mark & Pam.
A long time ago in the Ancient Near East far, far away… There was the Rise of The Torah!
We all know words carry weight like holding a lightsaber! Writing was a pretty new technology for the writers of Deuteronomy (5th book in the Jewish Torah), something they used for purposes beyond royal bureaucratic purposes. What’s interesting about this technology, among other things, is that individuals and communities came to use it as authoritative, that is, as something to be consulted because it served as a normative guide for community action, understanding, and thus life. For oral cultures in the ancient near east, the shift to using writing this way was huge. And it provides a point of comparison with our current digital revolution, as digital devices, apps, and other technologies invade and structure our lives.
It’s time to unlearn what you have learned like a good a padawan. We’ll unpack the emergence of new technology, then and now, as we seek to better get a handle on how we think about the Bible and authoritative texts moving forward. It’s your destiny to listen! Do. Or do not. There is no try!
Get ready for Part 2! (Part 1 is with Mark, & Part 2 is with Pam)

Mark K. George is Professor of Bible and Ancient Systems of Thought and Director of the University of Denver/Iliff School of Theology Joint PhD Program in the Study of Religion. He works primarily with the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and, within that corpus, the Pentateuch and narrative texts. The focus of his work is ancient systems of thought operating within this literature and the societies that produced it, whether they be social systems and structures expressed through the practices and conceptions of space, or how they make possible specific ways for individuals and communities to conduct their lives. George teaches courses on the Bible. These include critical studies of specific books, such as Deuteronomy, and examinations of larger issues, such as The Bible and Contemporary Issues or The Bible in the Digital Age. Fundamental to his teaching is the conviction that each generation must find new ways to make the Bible relevant for themselves. This is especially important as we live through the current digital revolution. His publications include books, encyclopedia entries, scholarly articles, and occasional pieces in publications including The Conversation. His current book project, Conduct Becoming Israel: Deuteronomy’s Subject and the Creation of “Israel,” is an analysis of how Deuteronomy presents an idealized system for becoming Israel.
A member of both the Society of Biblical Literature and American Academy of Religion, George regularly presents his work in the US and internationally.

Pamela Eisenbaum is Professor of Biblical Studies and Christian Origins at Iliff School of Theology and affiliate faculty of the Center of Judaic Studies at the University of Denver. She holds an MTS from Harvard Divinity School and a PhD from Columbia University.
She is the author of Paul Was Not a Christian, which has enjoyed a wide readership. Other books include The Jewish Heroes of Christian History: Hebrews 11 in Literary Context, and Invitation to Romans.

Professor Eisenbaum has a passion for ancient manuscripts and has worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls in Israel and the oldest manuscript of Paul’s letters at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland. Currently she is pursuing research on the role of technology (ancient and modern) in the codification, preservation, and transmission of the Bible. She has also begun exploring broader questions of religion and technology, including Artificial Intelligence. Throughout her career she has been involved in Jewish-Christian dialogue and maintains an ongoing academic interest in Jewish-Christian relations in particular, and religious diversity in general. Courses regularly taught by Dr. Eisenbaum include Paul’s Letter to the Romans, the Formation of the Bible, and Interreligious Dialogue.

Let's continue to brew... “The Truth about The Truth" with Kerri Fisher! (part 2)
We are inundated with messages that beg us to embrace the world in black-and-white but the myths of "common sense" and "one-right-way" are tools of supremacy seeking to limit imagination and thus liberation not only for those of us who are marginalized but for those who bear the burden of being the witness, accomplice, or perpetrator of violence in the world. Many of us are on the path to embody more non-binary, diunital, both/and/and ways of being human, but how do we practically embrace truth in the various dimensions, tensions, and contradictions where it lives without losing our identities--without altogether losing our way?
Get ready for some brewtastic goodness as Janel & Ryan sit down with the Kerri Fisher for part 2! The force is strong with this one...

Spoiler Alert: We are all going to die! (and Janel apologizes up front for saying milieu wrong.)
So, let's brew theology with the Death Scholar!
Grief theory until now is largely the product of the Protestant (and white) experience, and often emphasizes the Remembering of the Dead, rather than the Care of the dead, stressing the importance of grief “work” and grief “tasks” while working to a goal of reintegration without the deceased. There are some lingering problems with contemporary grief theory... Relationships with the dead are not static ones, but changing and valuable ones that will continue to develop as we move through life. Join Ryan and Janel as they get to chat it up with Dr. Candi Cann as she speaks about the importance of reframing death and a healthier posture of grief that comes with it... (Part 1) You can now order Dr. Cann's new book, Death and Religion: The Basics on Amazon (or wherever you like to buy books!)
///
Dr. Candi K. Cann, Associate Professor of Religion in the BIC, teaches at Baylor University in both the BIC and the Religion department. She received both her A.M. and Ph.D. in Comparative Religion from Harvard University, an M.A. in Asian Religions from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, and a B.A. in Asian Studies and English from St. Andrews in North Carolina. At Baylor, she teaches courses in World Cultures, Social World, World Religions, Buddhism, and Death and Dying.
Dr. Cann's research focuses on death and dying, and the impact of remembering (and forgetting) in shaping how lives are recalled, remembered and celebrated. She examined this theme through martyrdom in her early scholarship. Dr. Cann's first book, Virtual Afterlives: Grieving the Dead in the Twenty-first Century with the University Press of Kentucky (2014), centered on grief and memorialization in the contemporary world. She has also written various chapters and articles on digital death and grief. Her second book Dying to Eat: Cross Cultural Perspectives on Food, Death and the Afterlife (also with University Press of Kentucky, 2017) is an edited collection on the intersection of food in death and grief. Her third book, The Routledge Handbook of Death and Afterlife(Routledge, 2018), is an edited collection containing thirty chapters examining death and afterlife from around the world.
Dr. Cann has also written lots of articles and book chapters, including her article titled “African American Deathways" in Oxford Bibliographies in African American Studies. (Oxford University Press, 2020), and her co-written piece on COVID, "Death, Grief, and Funerals in the COVID age (www.covidpaper.org) utilized by Option B, National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, Presidential Taskforce on Grief & Loss, and the New York State Psychological Association, among many others. Dr. Cann's current projects are researching diversity in death, and the intersection of death and technology around the world.

Today we're talking Sports and Religion. Now, before all you non-sports fans tune out, I beg you to give it a chance. In researching this topic we found some deep connections between sports and religion.
So please listen up as we talk Super Bowl and Olympics, New Testament and Old, and get a better understanding of where sports competitions came from and what those competitions meant to the various gods that demanded their participation.
I promise you'll be surprised and probably learn something new!

Dr. Robert N. Nash Jr. serves as the associate dean for the Doctor of Ministry program and is the Arnall-Mann-Thomasson Professor of Missions and World Religions at McAfee School of Theology. He received his Ph.D. degree in Church History (1989) and his M.Div. degree (1985) from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition, he completed both his M.A. (History) and B.A. degrees at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville. Prior to coming to McAfee, Dr. Nash served as global missions coordinator at the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (2006-2012) and as a professor in the religion departments at both Shorter College in Rome, Georgia (1994-2006) and at Judson College in Marion, Alabama (1992-1994). He also served as dean of the School of Religion and International Studies at Shorter College for several years.
An author of three books and numerous articles, Dr. Nash has devoted his research and writing to the intersection between religious faith and culture, paying particular attention to what happens to religions as they move from one cultural context to another. This research interest eventually led him to move from the classroom to the laboratory as he directed the global mission engagement of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, assisting that organization to adapt its global engagement to the unique challenges of the 21st century. He has now taken the experience he received there back to the classroom to assist ministers as they negotiate similar challenges in local congregations.
He has served as pastor and interim pastor of a number of congregations in Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia and as a frequent lecturer on college and university campuses and at conferences across the nation that focus on ministry and mission in the 21st century.
Dr. Nash is married to Guyeth Nash, a psychotherapist, and they have two grown children, Douglas and Lindsay. He is an avid viewer of food and travel programs on television and enjoys grilling and eating his way through every Asian restaurant in Atlanta. He runs about 12-15 miles a week to keep off the pounds generated by his food interests. The Nashes have a dog named Nemo and two cats, Mama Kitty and Agamemnon.

- With civil rights advocacy in his DNA, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III built his ministry on community advancement and social justice activism. As Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Ill., Dr. Moss spent the last two decades practicing and preaching a Black theology that unapologetically calls attention to the problems of mass incarceration, environmental justice and economic inequality.
Dr. Moss is part of a new generation of ministers committed to preaching a prophetic message of love and justice, which he believes are inseparable companions that form the foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As part of his community engagement through Trinity United Church of Christ, Dr. Moss led the team that came up with the “My Life Matters” curriculum; which includes the viral video “Get Home Safely: 10 Rules of Survival,” created in the aftermath of Michael Brown’s death at the hands of Ferguson, Mo., police.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Moss is an honors graduate of Morehouse College who earned a Master of Divinity form Yale Divinity School, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Chicago Theological Seminary. He returned to Yale in 2014 to present the famed Lyman Beecher lectures. The three-day event included an in-depth discourse on the subject of “The Blue Note Gospel: Preaching the Prophetic Blues in a Post Soul World.” The lectures, which demonstrated a homiletic blueprint for prophetic preaching in the 21st century, were the foundation of his latest book, Blue Note Preaching in a Post-Soul World: Finding Hope in an Age of Despair, published in 2015.
Dr. Moss was named to the inaugural Root 100, a list that “recognizes emerging and established African-American leaders who are making extraordinary contributions,” according to the publication’s Website. Honorees range between ages 25 to 45, and their accomplishments and successes transcend media headlines or statistics.
With a unique gift to communicate across generations, Dr. Moss’ creative biblebased messages have inspired young and old alike. His intergenerational preaching gift has made Dr. Moss a popular speaker on college campuses, at conferences, and churches across the globe. He is highly influenced by the works of Zora Neale Hurston, August Wilson, Howard Thurman, Jazz, and Hip- Hop music. The work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the pastoral ministry of his father, Dr. Otis Moss, Jr. of Cleveland, Ohio, have been primary mentors for his spiritual formation.
He is the former pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta, Ga., his first pastorate, where the church grew from 125 members to over 2100 disciples during his tenure. His earlier publications include: Redemption in a Red Light District, and The Gospel According to the Wiz: And Other Sermons from Cinema. He coauthored The Gospel Re-Mix; How to Reach the Hip-Hop Generation with three other contributors, and Preach! The Power and Purpose Behind Our Praise, with his father.
His sermons, articles, and poetry have appeared in publications such as Sojourners Magazine and The African American Pulpit Journal. Those works include: Power in the Pulpit II: America’s Most Effective Preachers, Joy To The World: Sermons From America’s Pulpit, Sound The Trumpet: Messages of Hope for Black Men, and The Audacity of Faith: Christian Leaders Reflect on the Election of Barack Obama. His work has also been featured on HuffingtonPost, Urban Cusp, and The Root.
Dr. Moss is an ordained minister in the Progressive National Baptist Convention and the United Church of Christ. He is on the boards of Auburn Seminary and Faith-In-Place/Action Fund , and chaplain of the Children’s Defense Fund’s Samuel DeWitt Proctor Child Advocacy Conference. Additionally, Dr. Moss is a Senior Fellow in the Auburn Seniors Fellow Program.
He is married to his college sweetheart, the former Monica Brown of Orlando, Fla., a Spelman College and Columbia University graduate. They are the proud parents of two children, Elijah Wynton and Makayla Elon.
Today we're talking about the big "D" - Deconstruction. A pretty loaded word at the moment, we're talking about faith, growth, falling apart, and moving on when faith changes. Listen to Ryan and Janel share their own evolving stories, and learn about this every changing process. Not for the faint at heart, deconstruction is hard work and we're here to walk with you.
We mentioned a few things in the Podcast that we want to highlight here. Faith Shift by Kathy Escobar has been a really helpful book for Janel. Ryan was influenced by Rob Bell and Brian McLaren, in particular A Generous Orthodoxy.
We also wanted to highlight TikTok star Piper Ramsey-Sumner @cbfplr and recommend @AbrahamPiper and @JoLuehmann. You might also check out @eve_wasframed on Instagram.
Please reach out if you have specific Deconstruction questions or topics you'd like to cover.

Part 2 with Eric Smith.
Immigration is as old as the story of America. Who belongs and who can come is an ongoing debate. (While we must also acknowledge that this episode was recorded on the land of the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Ute tribes.)
Everyone knows the old saying that when you mix politics and religion, things get messy. But we also all know that more often than not, politics and religion have gotten mixed together, and that sometimes they are indistinguishable. Listen in on our conversation with guest speaker, Dr. Eric Smith, who talks with us about the Bible’s relationship to one debate that is as fierce today as it was 2000 or 3000 year ago: the debate over who should be allowed to be a part of a society.
How can the Bible help us think through our own questions about the power of the state and our obligations to our neighbors? Listen in as we brew some relevant theology and dedicate time to helping us plumb the biblical tradition for ways to think about these contentious political—and religious—questions.
/// *Rev. Dr. Eric C. Smith is an assistant professor at the Iliff School of Theology, where he teaches New Testament and early Christianity. He is also Teaching Minister at First Plymouth Congregational Church in Englewood. He is the author of the three books, most recently Paul the Progressive? The Compassionate Christian’s Guide to Reclaiming the Apostle as an Ally, which is newly released from Chalice Press.

Get ready to brew theology with Dr. Mike Campbell* on episode 170 (part 2 of 2). The United States incarcerates a larger proportion of its population than any other nation and those imprisoned are disproportionately poor and people of color. Mass incarceration, as scholars have dubbed America’s imprisonment binge, has become a normalized fact of life over the last thirty years as corrections budgets have soared and incarceration has become a normalized element of life for people from the nation's poorest neighborhoods. Yet, some people have started to rethink this approach and some states have made significant reductions in their prison populations. This talk will provide some historical context on mass incarceration and will outline some of the promise and peril of current efforts to change America's peculiarly punitive approach to crime.
*Michael Campbell is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at the University of Denver. His research employs mixed research methods to examine the social, historical and political forces that shape law and policy, especially those associated with mass incarceration. His work has been published in the American Journal of Sociology, Law and Society Review, Criminology and other sociological and criminological journals. His current research includes a collaborative project (with Heather Schoenfeld of Boston University) that examines state-level criminal justice reforms that affect correctional populations and mass incarceration. The goal is to compare and contrast reforms across state contexts since 2000 to better understand how state and national forces have shaped policy reform efforts in the United States.

Let Go... The concept of non-attachment can be traced in and through Daoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and other Asian Philosophies. Within the Buddhist tradition, we find Four Noble Truths. The first, roughly translated, is the truth of suffering, and the second is the truth of the origin of suffering. That origin, according to The Buddha, is craving, or misplaced desire (Tanhā). Though the Pali words differ, they are conceptually related. Clinging and craving cause us suffering.
So, what does letting go, in this context (we recorded this on Fat Tuesday BTW!), look like in everyday life? Let's Brew Theology, Episode 164 with Dan, Elizabeth, Janel and Ryan.

Tad DeLay is the author of The Cynic & the Fool: the Unconscious in Theology & Politics and God Is Unconscious: Psychoanalysis & Theology. He holds a PhD Religion, an MA Philosophy, and an MA Theology. He teaches and lives in Denver. His latest book Against: What Does the White Evangelical Want? explores trends and underlying desires of the most quintessentially American faith—a theological improvisation around whiteness. In five chapters—Against Future, Against Knowledge, Against Sexuality, Against Reality, and Against Society—the book conjoins history and psychoanalysis to explore a dangerous religio-political coalition.
Dr. Tad DeLay is back on the Break Theology Podcast for Episode 162. This show is more timely than ever as Ryan & Janel speak to Tad on the Evangelical-Capitalist resonance machine. Dr. DeLay explores the way the Christian Right's campaign in 1980 related to Exxon's discovery of climate change in '82, denials in the 90's and so on... (oil, $ and climate migration). This is a 2 part episode! Here's Part 1.

Tad DeLay is the author of The Cynic & the Fool: the Unconscious in Theology & Politics and God Is Unconscious: Psychoanalysis & Theology. He holds a PhD Religion, an MA Philosophy, and an MA Theology. He teaches and lives in Denver. His latest book Against: What Does the White Evangelical Want? explores trends and underlying desires of the most quintessentially American faith—a theological improvisation around whiteness. In five chapters—Against Future, Against Knowledge, Against Sexuality, Against Reality, and Against Society—the book conjoins history and psychoanalysis to explore a dangerous religio-political coalition.
You know what the world needs more of these days?
That's right... Kindness! Kindness is a spacious place. Kindness is an openness to learning new things, seeing things from a new perspective and being willing to change our minds about things of which we thought we were sure. Only through kindness can a heart be healed and made wide enough to expand into this great big world. As we sit down together over some craft beer, we will take time to look at the 4 facets of kindness and how we live those out... Join Ryan, Janel, Rob & Richmond.
We had some strange sound issues (we later realized it was an old chord on Ryan's mic) here and there on this episode, but it's still worth of your time...

Let's get down to hermeneutics alongside some relevant 21st C. issues. Cheers to Episode 160, Part 2... Dr. Blomberg, joined the Denver community on Zoom a few months ago, and it's a great presentation and conversion about the Bible, evangelicalism and relevant issues at hand!
People regularly give certain reasons for not believing in God, but they are much less aware of what the New Testament actually teaches. Although challenges to Christianity are perennial and have frequently been addressed, they are noticeably more common today and are currently of particular interest among evangelicals.
Craig is back as he tackles questions from his upcoming book, "Can We Still Believe in God?: Answering Ten Contemporary Challenges to Christianity."
Skeptics of Christianity often ask highly regarded biblical scholar and popular speaker, Craig Blomberg, how he can believe in a faith that seems so problematic. This Distinguished New Testament professor will tackle the question(s), "Isn't the Bible anti-women, anti-gay, and pro-slavery?"

Listen in on our Zoom conversation with Pam Eisenbaum. Part 2 contains our question and answer session with the Denver Brew Theology crew. ________ Although these contemporary issues challenging our world today seem far removed from the world of the Bible, there are many today who read the Bible—or at least revere it as a source of authority—with the belief that it offers them guidance on how they live their lives. Most Bible readers do not read Greek and Hebrew and thus depend upon scholars and preachers who do the work of translation and interpretation. Unfortunately, much of the Bible in translation perpetuates stereotypes that contribute to the plagues of Anti-Semitism, Racism, and Xenophobia, and in many cases, contemporary translations make them worse. Moreover, long-held destructive traditions of interpretation accompany the minds of unwitting readers or reciters of favorite scriptural passages.
In this podcast we will consider a few illustrative examples of misread, mistranslated, misused, and misunderstood snippets from the Bible—little phrases and sentences that have had enormously bad effects, even though, in most cases, such effects were not inevitable. But, before we look at texts, I first want us to look at a few recent incidents. I hope not only to show ways in which the Bible—at least certain texts—inform and inflame hatred, but I also want to show the ways in which Anti-Semitism and racism—particularly anti-Black racism are linked. They are not merely two examples of negative stereotyping or bias against marginalized groups; the two are often linked in ways that need explaining.

Part 2... The convo continues with Diana, starting with "feelings!" Yup. She’s a bad ass Buddhist Reverend from the Tri-State Denver Buddhist Temple; you definitely don’t wanna miss episode 156 (Part 2 of 2 on "Visions of Self in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism"), friends!
Self: 1: the essential person distinct from all other persons in identity 2: a particular side of a person’s character (Merriam-Webster)
Self: 1. A person’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action. (Oxford online dictionary)
These are definitions of the ‘self’ as it is understood in the English language. Both imply a unique, individual ‘something’ that makes us who we are. By using the word ‘essential’ these definitions also seem to imply that there is some permanence to this self, an absolute core at the center of our being that goes unchanged. This unique individual is one who stands out and apart from others, the ‘self-made’, ‘self-taught’ person who ‘rides alone’. (I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.’) This narrative of the independent, self-made person has shaped the ways in which we view the ‘self’ both in positive and negative ways. On the positive side, it encourages us to veer away from a ‘sheep’ mentality and to think for ourselves. On the negative side, it produces a culture in which people are shamed for seeking outside help and causes them to shy away from even simple acknowledgment and gratitude to those who do or are willing to help.
For Buddhists, this human desire for a permanent, independent self, is the cause of much of our suffering. We experience anxiety when we feel that we that we don’t know who we are and so we will set out on journeys of self-discovery in order to find that essential something that is ‘myself’ apart from others and we experience extra anxiety if we cannot find it. This is not to say that Buddhists would discourage the journey. The questioning or examination of the self is not the problem. The problem is our greed (desire for permanence), anger (frustration when we can’t find it) and stupidity (our stubborn refusal to accept impermanence and interdependence). We are all suffering from G.A.S.
Time to get GAS(y), friends.

*Dr. Robert N. Nash Jr. serves as the associate dean for the Doctor of Ministry program and is the Arnall-Mann-Thomasson Professor of Missions and World Religions at McAfee School of Theology. He received his Ph.D. degree in Church History (1989) and his M.Div. degree (1985) from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition, he completed both his M.A. (History) and B.A. degrees at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville. Prior to coming to McAfee, Dr. Nash served as global missions coordinator at the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (2006-2012) and as a professor in the religion departments at both Shorter College in Rome, Georgia (1994-2006) and at Judson College in Marion, Alabama (1992-1994). He also served as dean of the School of Religion and International Studies at Shorter College for several years.
An author of three books and numerous articles, Dr. Nash has devoted his research and writing to the intersection between religious faith and culture, paying particular attention to what happens to religions as they move from one cultural context to another. This research interest eventually led him to move from the classroom to the laboratory as he directed the global mission engagement of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, assisting that organization to adapt its global engagement to the unique challenges of the 21st century. He has now taken the experience he received there back to the classroom to assist ministers as they negotiate similar challenges in local congregations.
He has served as pastor and interim pastor of a number of congregations in Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia and as a frequent lecturer on college and university campuses and at conferences across the nation that focus on ministry and mission in the 21st century.
Dr. Nash is married to Guyeth Nash, a psychotherapist, and they have two grown children, Douglas and Lindsay. He is an avid viewer of food and travel programs on television and enjoys grilling and eating his way through every Asian restaurant in Atlanta. He runs about 12-15 miles a week to keep off the pounds generated by his food interests. The Nashes have a dog named Nemo and two cats, Mama Kitty and Agamemnon.

What do you do when you lose your faith? When your questions lead to more questions? What do you do when the temptation to belong outways your pull toward the unknown?
Up until this point, Agnosticism has been a throw away term to define someone who is lost. Someone who is in between. Someone that is waiting to embrace their next certainty. I would like to ask the question, what if Agnosticism is the future of religion? Could our desperate desire for certainty be what is stopping us from truly embracing the divine and letting the spirit move like a winding river through our lives? Will you join us on episode 149 of the Brew Theology Podcast with Ryan, Janel, Sawyer and Josh, as they bring these questions to your curious earbuds? Maybe in that space, and in your own communal spaces, we can find what we are looking for...
P.S. Thanks to Joshua Hoague from Denver for providing the content for this conversation.

On episode 143 of the Brew Theology podcast, Janel Apps Ramsey, Ryan Miller and Mark Donato continue the conversation with Eric Peter on Centering Prayer (Part 1) and more... This tradition was handed on by the Hesychasts of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, in particular by the sixth-century Syrian monk known as Pseudo-Dionysius; Meister Eckhardt, John Ruysbroeck, and the Rhineland mystics in the Middle ages; the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing in the fourteenth century; later by the Carmelite tradition exemplified by Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, and Elizabeth of the Trinity; and in the last century by Thomas Merton. Although traditionally a Christian prayer practice, Centering Prayer welcomes all interested in developing or strengthening their relationship with God. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning to them. It is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship.
Eric Peter has been studying and practicing a wide range of meditation techniques for almost 20 years. He has been a part of Contemplative Outreach for 15 years and has served as a facilitator of Centering Prayer, a volunteer in the Prison Ministry Program and as a presenter of Introductory Workshops. He has been a Benedictine Oblate since 2014 and makes his living as a bee keeper

Rabbi? Essene? Zealot? Was Jesus an apocalyptic prophet, charismatic healer, cynic philosopher or a prophet of social change? What did his followers mean by “Messiah?” Did the “The Son of Man” fail? Did his followers conjure up an epic story that changed the world? There have been countless debates regarding this 1st Century Jewish sage. The quest for the historical Jesus has been a rigorous academic pursuit since the 18th Century; the list of questions and brewtastic rabbit trails go on… and so will this zesty conversation on episode 138 of the Brew Theology Podcast!

In episode 137 (part 2 of 2) Ryan, Janel and Elizabeth continue their convo with guest, *Kaitlyn Mascher-Mace on "Reforming Western Stereotypes of Buddhism: A Look at Violence in the Buddhist World."
The generalized narrative towards Buddhism(s) in the west have often divorced cultural history from the teachings. What is left is an idealized form of Buddhism, often without context, devoid of the causes and conditions which shaped the teachings that are part of the Buddhist world today. However, explicit and implicit violence have always been part of the Buddhist experience. This conversation will be a brief introduction to these realities.

*Kaitlyn got lost on her way to the oilfield, or maybe she found herself (so her wife says). A 2006 graduate of the Colorado School of Mines (BSc - Mechanical Engineering), Kaitlyn spent many years in oilfields across the world working in rock mechanics and fracture theory. While the rocks had much to say, her coworkers often had views on the world that were varied and far different from hers, driving her to learn more about people, and how faith affects their lives. Kaitlyn is currently a Ministers Assistant at the Tri-State Denver Buddhist Temple and is a Jodo Shinshu Buddhism seminary student, working on a Masters of Buddhist Studies from the Institute of Buddhist Studies in Berkeley, California. She also starts the Masters of Divinity Program at Iliff School of Theology in the Fall. When she is not in school, she is a 911 Ambulance Paramedic (a different study on human nature) in Weld County, Colorado. She is also an athlete, and a member of the 2013, 2014, and 2015 National Champion Denver Bulldogs Australian Rules Football Team, as well as a former Team USA member.

Here's some fun convos Janel and Ryan had last year, 2018, with friends (theologians and practitioners including Paula Williams, Sara Cunningham Bart Patton, Tripp Fuller, David Finnegan-Hosey, Joerg Rieger, The Bible Bitches, etc.!) who are doing cool stuff in our world. You'll hear both the worst theology impressed upon people along with theology that gives them hope! Enjoy. Plus, Tripp Fuller from Homebrewed Christianity and Ryan talk about their love for one another and their NBA year-round connection. We hope to see at at the Goose this week.

Get excited for round 2 with Rev. Brother Mark Donato on episode 127 (part 2).
Gnosticism is the teaching based on Gnosis, the knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. Although Gnosticism thus rests on personal religious experience, it is a mistake to assume all such experience results in Gnostic recognitions. It is nearer the truth to say that Gnosticism expresses a specific religious experience, an experience that does not lend itself to the language of theology or philosophy, but which is instead closely affinitized to, and expresses itself through, the medium of myth. Indeed, one finds that most Gnostic scriptures take the forms of myths. The term “myth” should not here be taken to mean “stories that are not true”, but rather, that the truths embodied in these myths are of a different order from the dogmas of theology or the statements of philosophy. --Excerpt from “The Gnostic Worldview: A Brief Summary of Gnosticism” by +Dr. Stephan Hoeller
*Rev. Donato is the prior (administrator and mentor) of the Oblates (lay monks) of the Order of Saint John, the monastic side of the Apostolic Johannite Church. He left the Episcopal Church he grew up in for Buddhism, first Tibetan and later Thai Theravada, for 20 years. Although Buddhism still informs much of Mark’s theology and practice, he moved toward his Christian roots and found Gnosticism. For the past 8 years, Mark has been studying and practicing Gnostic Christianity and was ordained as prior of religious orders in 2016.

Tune in for some more Deep Ecumenism with Rabbi Stephen Booth Nadav in this 2-part Brew Theology Podcast. Deep Ecumenism, a term coined by Fr. Matthew Fox and carried forward by his friend Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (z’l), is so much more than “interfaith dialogue.” “Dialogue” is good and nice, and perhaps so much safer than deep engagement or encounter with another faith path. But today we are called to more than just tolerance or positive relationship or even understanding. We are called to stretch to the possible experience of the Divine even in other faith traditions. When we can do that, we will know we have touched the Source.
This is the 2nd time for Rabbi Steve to join the BT community. He was with us back in 2016 (episodes 17 & 18 of the Brew Theology Podcasts), and we look forward to having him again...

Judicial Justice. Economic justice. Social Justice. Racial Justice. Social Justice. Just to name a few... Let's brew theology and discuss what justice looks like in all of these contexts. Is justice achievable or is it a pipe dream? Why is it that every society and religion values justice so highly? In episode 123, JUSTICE is the topic. Enjoy.

Dr. Douglas Allen (University of Denver) keeps brewing up some Bahá'í. Writing in the middle of the 19th century, Baha’u’llah, prophet founder of the Baha’i Faith wrote that “The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.” He exhorted his followers to “consort with people of all religions,” and revealed teachings and principles designed to promote world unity. These episodes offers a brief look at the teachings of Baha’u’llah and discusses how Baha’is are working to make world peace a reality - in their communities, countries and across the globe. Episode 102 (part 2 of 2) is all about the Bahá'í faith!

Part 2! Out of Context: Religious - Political Agendas... Episode 120!
Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, The Islamic State, and Kim Jong-un. What do they have in common? They have all used religion to advance their political ideologies. We will discuss how religion has played a role in politics for centuries, and how easily religious teachings can be taken out of context to advance the personal and political agendas of individuals and groups.

Here's Part 2! Dr. Mark George, professor of Bible & Ancient Systems of Thought at Iliff School of Theology is back for a two part episode, and he's brewin’ up the relevant topic, “Digital Bibles”...
Bibles in digital formats—mobile Bible apps, websites, computer programs, and the like—are becoming more and more common. Convenience and ease of access to the Bible are, without question, benefits of the digitization of the Bible. Yet the change of medium for the Bible, from print to digital, is worth some critical consideration in order to gain some perspective on what is going on here. Digital Bibles are changing the ways people read, encounter, interpret, and understand the Bible. Is it a whole new Word or is it the end of the Word as we know it? Let’s brew...

What does it mean to embody theology? ... Dan, Nate, Janel and Ryan continue the convo on Episode 116 of the Brew Theology Podcast, "Embodied Theology" - Part 2. We will explore the ways in which our culture has encouraged disembodiment, what it means to embody, and the possibility of finding divinity in our embodied relations.

Here's the finale: Part 3 with Dr. Eisenbaum on Judaism 101 (Part 2)... Ryan, Janel & Heather keep asking questions in Episode 114 of the Brew Theology Podcast (Part 2 of a 3 part podcast series).
Christians and Jews share a large portion of scripture in common, and most everyone knows someone who is Jewish, but what do you really know about Judaism? (The “you” here is intended for Christians, but potentially includes anyone—including Jews who may not be religiously active.) Judaism is rooted in the Hebrew Bible, but it is so much more. Come for a whirl wind tour of post-biblical Jewish history, and a quick lesson on the essential elements that define Judaism. Learn how Judaism distinguishes itself from Christianity (it’s about much more than Jews' and Christians' divergent views about Jesus). Grab a drink and get ready for a good time!

Welcome back to Episode 110 of the Brew Theology Podcast. Ryan, Janel and Dan get together with guest, Ismail Akbulut, to chat about Islam: Myths and Truth about Islam (part 1 of 2).
While Islam is one of the great world religions with more than 1.7 billion followers, the religion of Islam is the most misunderstood religion in the West. Come and learn together about the true teachings of Islam, and the meanings of concepts such as jihad or sharia.
Ismail Akbulut is the President of Multicultural Mosaic Foundation. He was born and raised in Germany. His parents emigrated in the 1970s from Turkey to Germany.
Ismail received his BA from the State University of Baden Wuerttmberg in Business Information Systems. He served in different capacities on boards of various non-profits in Germany. In 2007 Ismail moved with his family to Colorado. The same year he joined the Multicultural Mosaic Foundation as a board member. Since 2009 Ismail serves as the board president for the Multicultural Mosaic Foundation.
Ismail gave many lectures on Islam and Turkey at various organizations and institutions. He also wrote several opinion articles for the Armenian Mirror-Spectator, the Intermountain Jewish News and the Circle.

Okay... ready to brew?

Welcome back to Episode 104 of the Brew Theology Podcast. Ryan and friends, Jesse & Rob, interview Dr. Mark George in this show titled, "Honest to God." Let’s begin with a proposition: the time has come to retire the wide-spread notion that “God is love.” It’s time, instead, to embrace what the ancient Israelite writers of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament knew so well, that God is a lot of things, love being only one of them. Okay... ready to brew?

The Enlightenment has resulted in massive improvements to the general condition of humankind, but it has also resulted in a subtle shift in worldview that in some ways has pulled the metaphysical foundation out from under what was known as Christendom.

The modern idea of Human Rights has indeed transformed the world and it seems appropriate and necessary to appreciate that the Hindu literature at least 5,000 – 7,000 years ago embodied that idea. We have the great honor to deliver these brewtastic audio goods as *Ved P. Nanda joins the 95th Brew Theology Podcast! We begin by hearing Ved's amazing life-story, then move onto aspects of Hinduism, weed out some misconceptions, dive into human rights, and even tackle sexuality and the Karma Sutra, etc.!

Who's ready for Part 2 with Dr. Catherine Keller? Keller is Professor of Constructive Theology at the Theological School and Graduate School at Drew University, joins Brew Theology for a LIVE pub conversation in New Jersey regarding her book, "On the Mystery: Discerning Divinity in Process." Nate Nakao and Luke Grote from Jersey Brew Theology host this 93rd episode of the Brew Theology Podcast (Part 2 of 2). Here's a desciption of her book, below (although, the questions at the pub go in many directions in this multi-podcast event.).
"With immediate impact and deep creativity, Catherine Keller offers this brief and unconventional introduction to theological thinking, especially as recast by process thought. Keller takes up theology itself as a quest for religious authenticity. Through a marvelous combination of brilliant writing, story, reflection, and unabashed questioning of old shibboleths, Keller redeems theology from its dry and predictable categories to reveal what has always been at the heart of the theological enterprise: a personal search for intellectually honest and credible ways of making sense of the loving mystery that encompasses even our confounding times."

Part Two!!!
"Homelessness & the Free Haircut"... with Benjamin Dunning and Terese Howard, co-founders of Denver Homeless Out Loud, are brewing some relevant goodness on episode 88 (part 2 of 2). Benjamin and Terese talk about homelessness in the Mile High City. They discuss ways in which society "helps" the homeless, and how these acts of service so often do not address real, pressing needs. What good is a free haircut when the real jobs and the affordable homes are mostly unattainable? Benjamin and Terese speak about the difference between a meal for a day and a well paying job. Nobody brings jobs to the homeless community, but you can find a lot of job training programs for jobs that don't pay well. So what does this mean regarding our compassion towards each other when we bring aid that does not address real needs? And how can we identify real needs and truly meet them? The answers are pretty simple, and yet most Americans don't think about the healthier ways to tangibly help the poorest of poor in our country.

Ready for Part 2?!
“Next to a church profaned by its exclusion of otherness, a city of true diversity is a cathedral. Next to a Christian eclipsed by theological arrogance, an honest atheist shines like the sun". Quaker author Parker Palmer in his book, The Promise of Paradox, asks What sometimes causes such arrogance in a religion (Christianity) named for one who proclaimed, the meek shall inherit the earth? It is not unusual for discouraged or defeated modern Christians to look for light in the secular world when their Christian church community twists theology into dark esclusivity. Rob Carroll, Leah Brite & Matthieu Caldwell join Janel and Ryan in this discussion (part 2 of 2). Ryan's mother, Nancy Miller, joins the podcast as well. We'll discuss paradoxes in religion and the secular world which help those of us "searching" find more transcendent truth in our lives. Let's brew!

Part DEUX!
Everything is theological... including this relevant topic: Transforming Safety: An alternative to mass incarceration through community engagement with Christie Donner (Executive Director for Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition). Ryan, Janel, Elizabeth and Randy have a phenomenal conversation on episode 85 (part 2) of the Brew Theology Podcast.
After thirty years of a "get tough" approach to crime that has fueled unprecedented levels of incarceration, communities most impacted both by higher rates of victimization and criminal justice involvement have seen little to no improvement; in fact, by many metrics these communities face even more problems. This discussion offers a different perspective on how to approach public safety that advocates for a larger role for community-based and community-led safety efforts through a discussion of two bills enacted by the Colorado legislature that were drafted and successfully lobbied by the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, including HB 17-1326 which created and funded a crime prevention pilot in North Aurora and Southeast Colorado Springs and HB18-1326 that funded community reentry programs to help people leaving prison.

Part 2!
Do you ever hear people saying, “I love Jesus, but not religion!”? We live in a spiritual, but not religious society, and it’s showing as we have seen a steep decline in church attendance throughout the decades, specifically from ages 22-35 (Millenials!). In Episode 83 (Part 2 of 2), we (Janel, Ryan, Andy, Kelly, Eric and Rob) hash out paradoxical ecclesiology (study of the church), channeling 20th C. practical theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. What does it mean to have a religion-less community of faith? Let’s brew!

*Jennifer S. Leath joined the Iliff faculty in 2015 as assistant professor of religion and social justice. Leath’s research concentrates on the intersection of sexualities and religions in sacred communities and spaces of African Diaspora. Her scholarship also engages the intersection of Afro-Diasporic women’s spiritualities and social activism. Bridging concerns of religious ethics and African American studies, much of her current writing and teaching focuses on the sexual ethics and economies of historically Black churches and Afro-Diasporic religion in the United States.
Committed to interdisciplinary scholarship, Leath is preparing her first monograph, “Childcare Activists: Reframing Afro-Diasporic Faith from the Home to the Streets,” which actively engages the intersection of the spiritualities, activism, and secular childcare work of Afro-Diasporic women in the United States. She has also begun work on a second monograph, titled “From Black to Quare (and then) to Where: Ethical Trajectories of Black Sexualities.”
Professor Leath’s other research and teaching interests include the metaphysics of womanism, African and Afro-Diasporic approaches to sexualities in political economies, ecumenisms of the “global south,” the intersections of Buddhist and womanist thought, and interdisciplinary approaches to interreligious dialogue. Prior to joining Iliff’s faculty, Dr. Leath was a 2014-15 research associate and visiting lecturer at Harvard Divinity School’s Women’s Studies in Religion Program. She also helped to establish the Center on African American Religion, Sexual Politics & Social Justice at Columbia University, working as the assistant director of research after completing her doctoral work. In addition to her research, she is an active member of various academic communities, including the Society for the Study of Black Religion, the American Academy of the Religion, and the Society for Christian Ethics.
Dr. Leath is also an Itinerant Elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church where she has served as pastor in White Plains, New York and in Media, Pennsylvania, and she has served as an associate pastor at churches in Philadelphia, New York, and New England.

I don't think we've ever laughed this hard recording a BT episode! Horror meets comedy in "Go to Hell!" Part 2.
See why Janel hypothetically still thinks some toxic people deserve hell (if there is one), and why "heretical" Ryan just wants some more grace and restoration, and says, "to hell with hell"... then simply understand why it's really hard to "lose hell" due to the tribal loyalties, to speak. Check out why Diana's Buddhist tribe is more scared of the Xian conventional hell, and get down with Dillon as he lays down the real elements regarding the hereafter (in the Bible)!
So, what is Hell? Well, see Part 1 (episode 78) for that part... Often, it is described as a fiery pit presided over by a pitchfork wielding devil who watches gleefully as capering demons torment the souls of the damned. Though this particular image stems from more Christian-oriented descriptions of Hell, the idea of Hell itself is not specific to Christianity. Many cultures and religious traditions talk about an afterlife wherein the souls of the wicked are punished for their earthly misdeeds. The threat of Hell has been used for thousands of years to encourage things such as proper social behavior and faithfulness to a particular religious tradition and while some may disregard these threats as antiquated superstition, Hell nonetheless continues to loom large in the popular imagination.

Go to Hell! Why does this phrase still scare or insult us? What is Hell? Often, it is described as a fiery pit presided over by a pitchfork wielding devil who watches gleefully as capering demons torment the souls of the damned. Though this particular image stems from more Christian-oriented descriptions of Hell, the idea of Hell itself is not specific to Christianity. Many cultures and religious traditions talk about an afterlife wherein the souls of the wicked are punished for their earthly misdeeds. The threat of Hell has been used for thousands of years to encourage things such as proper social behavior and faithfulness to a particular religious tradition and while some may disregard these threats as antiquated superstition, Hell nonetheless continues to loom large in the popular imagination. Whether through Hieronymous Bosch’s nightmarish paintings the Robot Hell from Futurama or simply the use of phrases like ‘...is my personal hell’ most people have an understanding of Hell as a place of suffering.

In episode 77, Ryan Janel and Dan continue the conversation with Dr. Tad DeLay (Part 1 of 2) about psychoanalysis, theology and politics. Hello "BIG OTHER" and End Times theology as well. We live in an era of turmoil, which is slowly drowning out the religious, economic, and cultural orthodoxies that pledged their allegiances to a sinking cause. Through the lens of psychoanalysis and philosophy, DeLay explores the repressed theology underwriting our social and political drive to repeat failed patterns. By examining the figures of the cynic and the fool, we will ask: why do we feel as if a big Other commands us to see the world a certain way?

Whether we gaze back 1,000 or 2,000 years ago, history is fashioned from the ground up, especially within the down-to-earth Celtic monastic movement. The monks not only gave us the sacred origin of happy-go-hoppy home brewing, but they also gave the church timely disciplines and spread rich values in a time when the surrounding world needed to look a bit more like Jesus. Contrary to the popular idea of separating from the “secular” world, these ancient ascetic hermits actually fled the floundering and comprising “church” world. In episode 75, Ryan and Janel team up with Mark, Terry & Andy for a brewtastic convo about St. Patrick and Celtic Christianity! Time to raise a pint to Patrick and brew some Celtic theology!

Part 2!
While the word, "evangelical," may come across as a bad word in many western circles, nobody can deny that the evangelical movement has been a powerful force within the United States on many levels throughout the years. On episode 74 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Dr. David Buschart, associate dean and professor of theology and historical studies at Denver Seminary, speaks about Evangelicals and Evangelicalism: “Who are ‘Evangelicals’ and What Do (and Don’t) They Believe”... · This idea is prompted by the near-blizzard of references to “evangelicals” in mainstream media during and since the presidential election season. · In an irenic spirit, Dr. Buschart offers a description of some of the history and (more) the theological beliefs of evangelicals. Buschart brings something of “an insider’s” perspective. In the process, he describes and acknowledges the diversity within and some of the weaknesses of evangelicalism, while giving an affirmative presentation of what evangelicalism at its best—not every individual person or church—is.
This is Part 2 of a 2 part conversation with Dr. Buschart.
