From the beginning, church leaders criticized the Emerging Church Movement. At times painful, at other times laughable, it came from the right and the left. The critics took on what ECM leaders said and wrote, how they led churches, and even how they... more

- 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.

United States2 years ago 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.

Why did almost all of the Emergent leaders leave church?

Apple Podcasts5J KapUnited States2 years ago - 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
Apple Podcasts5FlakiewakieUnited States2 years ago - Hard to find the narrative
After the first 2 episodes, for a GenXer who was at a mainline church at the time and who read Brian, Tony, and Rob Bell but who wasn’t connected to the movement’s inner circle, the overall story is hard to track. The amount of name dropping makes it hard to find the narrative of the emergent church movement. I hope future episodes focus more on threading together and fleshing out the actual big ideas that shaped the movement and the narrative of what unfolded. Less of impressing people with who... more

I am so glad Tripp and Tony are putting such effort into collecting and documentin gthe Emerging Church movement. One star off though for it being so US-centric.

Australia2 years ago - Life-changing history
The people, events, and experiences of the emergent movement changed my life over 20 years ago. Sunset sort of faded away, or at least seemed to, it is so encouraging to have its history documented like this. Thanks Tripp and Tony and Josh for all the work you have put into this. Amazing!
Apple Podcasts5Michael BischofUnited States2 years ago - Entertaining and Enlightening
As somebody who was too young to catch the Emerging Church in its prime, but old enough to be influenced by it, I have really enjoyed this podcast! It has been helpful to hear the stories and gain some insights into the movement. It has helped me better understand my own faith journey and my time as a pastor. Highly recommend!
Apple Podcasts5Josh @ (Re)thinking FaithUnited States2 years ago - Amazing
This podcast is so many things: an awesome documentary, cultural commentary, and insight into a movement that had a big impact on the wider culture. Emerged shows the influence of the Emergent movement while being entertaining, charming, and striking that nostalgic tone that will draw in anyone who has felt the touch of the Emergent Church

The Emergent movement played a significant role in my life, and I’m grateful to the team putting this podcast together for attempting to tell the story and do it justice. Well done!

So glad that someone is doing this, this story is in good hands with Tony and Tripp.
Apple Podcasts5cY2kUnited States2 years ago - Great guide to recent history
I was a young youth pastor on the fringes of the Emerging Church conversation. This is a great window into how a lot of people I really admire navigated an important time in their lives and the life of the church
