The history of the church is filled with stories. Stories of triumph, stories of defeat, stories of joy, and stories of sorrow. In this book, Dr. Stephen J. Nichols provides snapshots of the church through the centuries. You’ll meet fascinating saints, travel to curious places, examine precious artifacts, and watch as surprising turns of events unfold.

Intro- Brenda Marie Davies is the host of this weekly podcast. The podcast is described at conversations that promote intellectual, sex positive, science affirming Christianity. She begins each episode by welcoming her listeners and explaining that while she believes that while she is a Christian and believes that God resides in absolute truth, in black and white, we as people are stuck here on planet earth contending with the grey. In church grey areas often cause dissension, anger, and even hate. But on this platform I welcome open dialogue. Variety of opinion, and differing belief systems. God is Grey is meat to teach, inform, and dimply trade stories with kindness, love and mutual respect.
Thoughts: I found this podcast a year ago and it has been in my rotation ever since. She often talks about what it was like growing up in the evangelical church and her experience with purity culture and lack of female leadership. She often explains that she loves the church but there are some practices that she believes are harmful. Most of her guests have similar stories and it is heartbreaking to hear them. She does push back when appropriate to better explore the guests views.
There is a lot of discussion about sex, marginalized Christians, issues with church leadership and accountability (or a lake thereof) and different cultural issues that the church has yet to deal with or has dealt with inconsistently.
This is pretty much a conversation about her experience in evangelical churches.
Recommendations:
Yes, but-I think this is for someone who has been wounded by the church, who never felt they fit in, or who has hurt by doctrine. It is also for people who have had questions about whether the church could do a better job welcoming marginalized people by giving them insight into how that message is perceived.
This is not for everyone, but it is a very hopeful message for those who are trying to navigate issues around sex, body positivity, LGBTQ issues in the church.
Warning-If you are easily offended that had difficulty processing those emotions, this is not the podcast for you, or maybe it is and you need practice in that area.

"Nora and Natalia met on the internet and quickly formed a mutual admiration society which grew into a friendship and many conversations about life and loss and faith and God. They knew there was a place in the current cultural and political climate for a kind of Christianity that was not “THAT kind of Christian”. So Cafeteria Christian was born. They are reclaiming this pejorative for good and reminding people that even when it comes to Christianity and faith, you can take what you like and leave the rest."

Kirk Winslow is the pastor of Canas (a Fresh Expression of the presbyterian Church USA) in Irvine, CA. He occasionally teaches preaching at Fuller Theological Seminary. His main mission in life is to share as much of the amazing stuff he’s learned as he can, the most important of which is love is the name of the game. He enjoys nothing more than trying to make theology, biblical studies, church history and spiritual formation make a little more sense.

Two friends, Richard and David, who were already talking about how theology and entertainment intersect. Now they are doing it in front of a microphone and inviting others in to comment. They want to know how Christians should engage with movies, books, and music that are not overtly Christian and are their Christian themes that can be pulled from them.
They have a facebook group, popcorn theology, website www.popcorntheology.com, and a phone number for voicemails 304-404-4005.
This is a weekly podcast. According to their show notes, The hosts, Benjamin and Ryker describe themselves as two Bible nerds who “explore the theology behind some of the secular-seeming things in daily life. They dive into the meaning of the mundane and and seek to find the bigger, Christ-centred story behind the everyday things of life in the 21st Century.” They believe that most people think about what happens at church when they think about theology, but that limits what we can see about God’s limitless nature.
