Welcome to the Wonderful World of Process Theology with Bruce Epperly: Homebrewed Christianity 111

Homebrewed Christianity has had a bunch of Process theologians on the podcast and after many requests we have a podcast for the process perplexed. Bruce Epperly is back on the podcast promoting his excellent new book Process Theology: A Guide for the Perplexed and since the book itself is an uber-readable intro it made sense to attempt the same in the podcast.

Here’s some fun…Epperly and I chatting on video, my Process Bibliography video style, and Epperly’s patheos blogging.

Previous Process-Flavored Podcasts… Bruce Epperly’s previous visit, Marjorie Suchocki, John Cobb (1 on incarnation, 2 all sorts of goodness), Robert Mesle on Evil (1, 2), Mesle’s intro to Process Philosophy, Tom Oord (the Gospel, Love-cast), Andrew Sung Park on Atonement, Joseph Bracken (on Process Christology, Trinitarian Theology), Ron Farmer on Hermenutics, and Philip Clayton (Beta Faith, Pannenberg and Process).

Here’s the Seven-Word Sermon mentioned in the intro & Deacon Stegall’s post inspired by his call!!…..Ohh and THE event of the year w\ HBC 3D!!! Deacon registration will be up next episode!!!!

There’s some Mumford & Sons in the intro….what a hipster selection Bo?!

I failed to add that my spiritual journey has been over 76 years and I am still learning and experiencing God daily. That journey has been filled with love and sorrow at the very depths of each. Do not think you are too old or to young to learn more about God. God is still revealing God's self to us every minute of every day. Thanks be to God !!!!

One of my all time favorite author writes and speaks in a language that I both love and understand. My entire life, from a child of 5, has been spent knowing that God was my constant companion and I've read my bible, other books, listened to teachers and preachers, studied human nature and others biography, observed nature, listened to music and the sounds around me, had many long conversations with thousands of people during my life time to simply learn who/what God is and last but not least, I have audited classes at Wake Forest Divinity School. I have also had many spiritual experiences that have given me a faith in God that simply lets me know that I and all others, are God's well loved children and will always be with us as we go along our spiritual journey no matter what we do or do not do. All of this is to say that I have always been a LAY theologian. I can never get enough of learning and partnering with God. Along this journey I was introduced to Process & Faith and Dr. John Cobb. While searching for authors on their website, I discovered Dr. Bruce Epperly. I either own or have read many of his books and highly recommend them all. It was my joy and pleasure to have met Dr. Epperly when he visited Winston-Salem. This is a wonderful conversation. I highly recommend his latest book that really helps us to know more about Process theology. It's wonderful and easy to read. Before I close, you must know that Tripp Fuller was the very first person to introduce me to and was my first teacher in process theology and Creative Transformation. Thanks to Tripp, Chad and Dr. Epperly for being a part of my continuing transformation and spiritual journey. Yes, we must take love seriously !!!!!!
