Tripp Fuller: Recent Episodes
Tripp Fuller
With a freshman in high school, Amy and Christian Piatt are getting familiar with a whole new set of doubts. This got them thinking about how much doubt we’re surrounded by every day. But a question keep nagging at them…
Is our doubt getting worse?
From AI mimicry to feel-good stories gone bad, it seems like we have to question the very reality around us. So that’s what the Piatts do in this CultureCast.
Christian also interviews Austin Fischer, author of “Faith in the Shadows: Finding Christ in the Midst of Doubt,” Amy turns our hair gray (those of us who have any) with her weekly fear, and the recommendations help you clear both your head and mind.

Words we use – or withhold – shape our culture, opinions and identities. From media and Church to the White House, our words are at war to claim attention more than ever before.
We examine Trump’s words (and silence) regarding Sen. McCain’s death, the Vatican’s response to recent abuse allegations, what various media outlets chose to cover after the Manafort and Cohen dramas, and whether preaching is a dying craft.
Our guest is Jonathan Merritt, author of “Learning to Speak God from Scratch,” in which he argues why the loss of sacred language is important, and what can be done.

It’s been a year since the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville took place. What has happened since then?
Amy and Christian Piatt reflect on the impact of last year’s events, consider the recent “Unite the Right 2” rally in DC and consider MSNBC’s recent “Breaking Hate” special featuring former Hammerskin Nation leader and friend of the show, Christian Picciolini.
Christian interviews Clive Thompson, writer for Wired Magazine, about his recent article about how extremist groups are taking the war for your mind to the internet and how it’s impacting our children.
Plus we review Spike Lee’s new film, BlacKKKlansman and more.

In this episode, Christian and Amy ask why white Evangelicals support Trump in such big numbers.
As much as 77% of white Evangelicals support Trump. Why do they continue to support him? Do progressives share anything with Evangelicals besides the name Christian? They talk about the moral compromise and rationalization of supporting Trump, the perceived loss of (white) identity, support for a populist movement, and comfort with a patriarchal order.
Plus, and update and continuation from the last episode on 3D printable guns and limiting free speech for the greater good in the age of the Internet.
Christian also talks with Tripp Fuller from the Homebrewed Christianity podcast and co-star of the new film The Road to Edmond. At the heart of the movie is an exploration of the tension between those parts of your religious upbringing that have blessed you, and the need to leave it behind, and how friendship can be the bridge between the two.
Hear about the movie, where the idea came from, how the movie provokes conversation, developing a character who is antagonistic towards organized religion, faithfully depicting people of faith on screen, and the real-life inspiration behind the story.
Plus, hear about what didn’t make it in the film, and the most offensive scene in the film. Click here if you’d like to host a screening in your town.

In this episode of the CultureCast, Amy and Christian talk about Jeff Sessions and Romans 13, Thai cave rescues and babies in cages, and free speech and feminism.
You’ll hear about how a political cartoon sparked a debate about the difference between the efforts to rescue the soccer team trapped in a cave in Thailand and the relative inaction in regards to the children detained at the US border, Jeff Session’s defense of separating children using Romans 13, and drawing the line between what is and isn’t safe to share online.
Christian is joined by Erin Wathen, pastor outside of Kansas City, friend of the podcast, and author of the new book Resist and Persist: Faith and the Fight for Equality. She also runs the Irreverin blog on Patheos.
They chat about a feminist response to a culture of deeply ingrained misogyny, how patriarchy is so deeply embedded in our daily lives that it is beyond recognition, the roots of toxic masculinity, how millennial women find traditional feminism off-putting and building brides between different generations, the cross as a symbol of empire, the intersectional effects of patriarchy, and under representation of women in politics.
- what does addressing patriarchy look like in the age of Trump?
- was Jesus a feminist?
- has the #metoo movement gone too far?
Plus, the motherhood myth, how we understand the different cultural and religious norms for women, and what the faithful response to all of this would even look like.

Jesus has been raised. I think this means we don’t have to worry about crazy passages from 1 Peter.

Will we know the work of… Read more about 1st Sunday After Epiphany with Doug Pagitt #LectioCast

And so we become… Read more about Advent: Waiting for the Messiah with Jason Micheli #LectioCast
Christ is king. That’s the week on the liturgical calendar, it’s the promise of God.
