  • Deep Ecumenical Protestantism

    Austin Suggs is a pretty interesting guy. He reads A LOT and engages a lot with the TheologyTube sphere. He is very charitable and level headed, and you can learn a lot from him. I also appreciate some of his warnings about LARPing and how our faith needs to be more than studying theology.

    It’s good stuff, and I will say he’s probably the most ecumenically-minded Protestant I know of who isn’t becoming Catholic. I guess we’ll see if that lasts

  • Lovely fellowship ,Phillip Cary interview

    I came across Cary on the Augustine Podcast, true warmth in theological and philosophical conversations where views are different can be difficult to navigate. Your interview has given me further approval to push into my inclinations concerning study of the Church of the past. As a former Charismatic who has entered the Reform community about 6 years ago , the Kingdom of Christ is made new again to me!! I found you on youtube and will now be listening here. There is a vast need in The Body for c... more

  • Church history for beginners

    As someone who wants to understand church history and different theological perspectives, this podcast has been an amazing starting point for me. I would have never been introduced to topics such as papal infallibility, the early church fathers, and orthodox spirituality. These podcasts have blessed me greatly, and I’m certain they will for you as well.

  • Gospel complexity

    I really like the podcast! Lots of interesting guests from different viewpoints get to tell their point of view and speak clearly from their faith traditions. I do think the name of the podcast may need to be updated though. I think many of the guests on the show have different views of what the gospel actually is, and if anything, the host helps to o highlight the complexity of Christianity rather than the simplicity, If there is such a thing as a simple Christianity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Stay Protestant When (seemingly) Everyone Is Leaving? | Dr. Beth Felker Jones
Q: What brings you joy about Protestantism?
The priesthood of all believers really gets me going. I love that all believers are called to ministry, and I find joy in the beauty of hymnity and the Book of Common Prayer, as well as in my relationships with all the messiness and broken beauty of people.
Re-Christianizing the Episcopal Church | Fr. Ben Crosby
Q: What kind of resources would you recommend for those interested in this vision?
I suggest reading the 39 Articles, the Book of Common Prayer, and looking into works by figures like Richard Hooker and Martin Luther.
Re-Christianizing the Episcopal Church | Fr. Ben Crosby
Q: Do you see a mix of responses regarding your ideas on re-Christianization and re-confessionalization?
Yes, there is a mix of support and fatigue from clergy who are overwhelmed by institutional decline.
Re-Christianizing the Episcopal Church | Fr. Ben Crosby
Q: What gives you hope as a priest in this church?
The hope comes from witnessing people converting or reconverting to faith and finding spiritual life through the Anglican tradition.
Re-Christianizing the Episcopal Church | Fr. Ben Crosby
Q: How does re-confessionalization play into all of this?
