Andy Root is back. The last time he was on, he told progressive Christians they might need a little more heaven, and some of you are still emailing me about it. So we picked the fight back up, which works out nicely, because Advent opens with Isaiah ... more

  • Empty pedantry, ugh!!

    Tripp can't say anything in normal language that a regular person could use. I've given up. Tripp, your dedication to ridiculously arcane theory is such a waste of what you could be doing. I can't imagine why you continue to spend your mind on these broadly meaningless conversations. WTH is wrong with our supposed "academics?!" Zero impact in the real world.

  • Great podcast!

    Hi. Love your stuff. John Dominic Crossen is a favorite. Love Beau and the graphs as well. Found out today that I have been accepted into discernment to become a woman Roman Catholic priest. I need to complete 33 college credits in theology. I don’t necessarily need a degree but it might be a nice bonus prize. I live in Rhode Island and work full time as a veterinarian so it may take me a while. Wondering if you have suggestions for online not boring and progressive Christianity classes. I can p... more

  • Capitulation To Empire

    I used to love this show. It is what brought me back to the church, and the reason I’m about to finish my MDiv. But I can’t believe how much AI Tripp now uses in audio essays, emails, and podcast descriptions. For someone who talks so much about relationship and anti imperialism, it is astonishing that he would be so inauthentic. I would never feel comfortable publishing anything that is so obviously written primarily by an LLM. Disappointing. I legitimately feel disrespected as a former fan. No... more

    Absolutely. Best episode ever. Serious commentary in re Temple as welcoming venue that mediates social division.

  • I like it, even when I don’t understand it

    This is a true statement, but is motivated by my desire to not be review-shamed by Tripp the next time we drink beer together.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Camp Beer Arrived with Three Seconds to Spare: Behind the Curtain at Theology Beer Camp
Q: What does the beer part actually do for the theology part? What happens at camp that wouldn't happen at a normal conference?
Ben Price argues that beer can encourage lateral thinking and candid conversation, while the team adds that the welcoming culture matters more than drinking itself. They emphasize that sober attendees are included, with nonalcoholic options and support available.
The Camp Beer Arrived with Three Seconds to Spare: Behind the Curtain at Theology Beer Camp
Q: What's one specific moment at camp when you thought, this is why we do this?
Team members cite the joyful, intentionally playful opening with Cornel West, a first-time attendee feeling welcome, and seeing people gather in breakout sessions as moments that capture the event's purpose.
Unite and Conquer: What the White Christ Costs White Workers
Q: For a congregation, what is the practical difference between mobilizing and organizing?
Mobilizing addresses a specific issue and often ends once it is resolved. Organizing connects issues to broader structures of power and involves deeper theological and community work.
Unite and Conquer: What the White Christ Costs White Workers
Q: What does a white Christ give white workers, and what does it cost them?
Rieger argues that a white Christ offers white workers a sense of recognition and some privileges, but these benefits mainly serve elites and leave workers with less power.
Desire Got There First: Paul Hoard on Lacan, Faith, and What’s Actually Driving You
Q: What kind of observations do you see about the way our subjectivity in relationship to others is changing when the smartphone and its algorithmic mediation play a more prominent role?
Hoard argues that AI can affirm users and encourage them to seek validation rather than being changed through relationships. He says compulsive scrolling can capture desire and attention, and recommends learning to sit with urges instead of acting on them immediately.
