  • Theology?

    This podcast exemplifies everything that is wrong about 4500+ forms of Protestantism. No consistent theology. No history, now no belief in the gospel. I guess that is your emergent form of new Christianity. Just make it up as you go. Whatever makes you feel good you know what I mean man? What better way for the enemy to enter the universal truth of Christianity and the universal church, then to continually break it down into smaller and smaller and more deluded forms of Christian philosophy.

  • Very thought-provoking! As a late Gen X (born in 79), I missed a lot of the cultural build-up to the Emerging Church movement. The podcast has been super informative and thought-provoking. I'm seeing for the first time some of the roots of how I ended up where I am philosophically and theologically. Thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes to record and produce this. I can already see the fruit in my own life and trust it will be the same for many others.

  • Love this review

    I grew up in North Carolina as a southern Baptist from 1944 to 1964. After taking Old Testament and New Testament religion at Wake Forest, I became an atheist. That lasted for about 20 years. Until I had a mystical experience on a beach in South Carolina. It has taken me this long to get back to the Christian diaspora and John Philip Newell and Tripp Fuller and Diana Butler Bass and so on. I so wish I were 60 years younger and could be experiencing all of this emergent church at time when I real... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

10 | The Legacy: The Emerging Church Movement as Failure and Success
Q: Looking back, do you consider the movement a success or a failure?
One of the places that I think Emergent was a success was its intuitiveness that in some ways the game was up, and that the bodies represented, styles of ministry, that the game was going to change, and was willing to take the risk to offer that.
Bonus Wrap Up: Live from Tony's Backyard with Doug Pagitt
Q: How did the whole project strike you with a thousand hours?
Listening to the interviews felt emotional and nostalgic, like flipping through an audio photo album of meaningful experiences.
