  • Life changing

    This podcast has been life changing and insanely helpful as I’ve wrestled through a lot of my past theological beliefs in search of a renewed theology, that is still biblically based. I’ve also read several of Greg’s books and I am just so incredibly thankful for his writings. They have been very healing for me. Dan is great too of course! Awesome team here.

  • Great Biblical Q&A

    Greg has a very pleasant and non-arrogant way of explaining his views of questions people ask about God, the Bible and faith. I love how he uses his immense Biblical and historical knowledge to inform listeners of not just the answers they are asking, but, when necessary, Greg also addresses the problems with the questions themselves, competing views when they exist, and he isn’t afraid to say he doesn’t know when he doesn’t and explain why maybe we can’t know all answers.

  • Starting to seem like click bate

    Topics getting kind of ridiculous. Come on. They pick questions (Dan) based on conversations they can steer to conversations relative to selling books. It’s about them. Seems like Greg helps his homeys write books and get them published. But he always has profound wisdom of the word IMO. I got a nastygram email from Dan dripping w judgement and condescension.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Next We See Jesus, Will He Be a Man?
Q: You talk about God, often referenced in the Masculine, and that God transcends our gender distinctions, which I agree with. Will he return as a man still? Will we see him as a man when we get to heaven?
God transcends gender and uses human language as metaphor; Jesus was male due to cultural contingencies, but future appearances and the exact manner of the Second Coming are not strictly defined, with room for non-literal understandings and end-time imagery. The important point is that God's love and justice prevail, not a rigid gendered depiction of the divine.
The Motherhood of God
Q: Why is it important to emphasize feminine imagery in God's nature?
Because broadening the Christian imagination to include feminine attributes helps prevent a one-sided view of God, acknowledges women's full image-bearer status, and enriches how people relate to God and each other in everyday life.
The Motherhood of God
Q: What is this book about and what is it not about?
The book is an exploration of the overlooked maternal imagery for God in scripture, highlighting that women and mothers bear the image of God in embodied experience, while also balancing personal memoir with theological reflection rather than presenting a saccharine devotional.
Dear Greg: Because of My Sexuality, I Feel Trapped
Q: What should I do about dating when I feel pulled between judgmental peers and my own convictions?
Lead with love, avoid hatred toward others, and seek out Christian communities that reflect a Christ-centered, open-hearted approach; prioritize heart alignment and growth over rigid ideological conformity, and trust that God will work through relationships.
Dear Greg: How Do You Handle the Dread and Fear of a World that Looks Like it's at its END?
Q: Okay, Heather has a question.
The guest identifies the situation as a meta-crisis and urges avoiding obsession, while encouraging faith-based grounding, hopeful perspective in Jesus Christ, and practical stewardship in daily life.
