Positive Post Christianity: Recent Episodes
Thomas
For people leaving fundamentalist Christianity who still want to hold on to the good elements of faith, it's easy to get stuck criticizing beliefs you used to hold. This podcast tries to move beyond the process of unbelief to start reclaiming Christianity.
In typical rambling style we take a random passage of scripture and focus on some of the themes, this week it's Jeremiah 11 and we talk about if, how, and why suffering can be separated from God, the inevitability of suffering, and how we can drive ourselves crazy trying to spiritualize suffering.
A departure from the normal format, Tommy muses on something he used to believe that he heard a friend say. If we don't believe that, then what should we believe instead?
Tommy doesn't feel like making a podcast, so he does anyone, and gets distracted from the Psalms of Asaph to talk about Dante.
We try an abbreviated format and try to define post Christianity. The randomly selected scripture is from Romans 8 leading to some musings on universalism and the future of the church.
Thomas talks way longer than he expected to about a chapter of scripture chosen at random. Is it possible to choose a worse passage to start with? Listen and find out as we talk about the link between purity and destruction and discover fun new ways to suffer in the pursuit of goodness.
