Tripp had a sweet idea to let you listen to two brief soundbites from our recent interviews with Tom Wright and Marcus Borg back to back, so you can let us know with whom you agree more on the resurrection. You don’t have to fall in line completely with either to vote, but vote and [...]
Marcus Borg, well-known for his work with the Jesus Seminar and author of nineteen books, many of them best-sellers, including The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions, co-authored by NT Wright, and three co-authored by John Dominic Crossan, The Last Week, The First Christmas, and The First Paul. Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings and Relevance of [...]
This week, we’re privileged to have Anne Rice come on, interviewed by Mike Morrell. Rice is one of the most read authors in modern history … her books have sold over 130 million copies. She is best known for the gothic genre, but in recent years, after coming out publicly as a person of faith, [...]
John Caputo stops by for a sweet second coming on the podcast, interviewed by our friend Callid Keefe-Perry from TheImageofFish.com. And while I was touring the Midwest and rocking it out at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (hence AC/DC music) in Cleveland, Tripp and Callid caught up with each other for the intro. [...]
This week our guest is Andrew Root, who is Associate Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul. He joins us to talk about his new book, ‘The Promise of Despair: The Way of the Cross as the Way of the Church.‘ As Tripp puts it in the interview, Andrew Root [...]

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is a voice in the new monastic movement. He’s an author, speaker, North Carolinian, and Duke Divinity grad, who visits us to talk about his new book The Wisdom of Stability. In The Wisdom of Stability, Wilson-Hartgrove illuminates the biblical and monastic understanding of why staying in one place is both a virtue, [...]
Liberal Christians get nervous when outing themselves as Christians. They choose their words carefully, since often it occurs at a dinner party with their spiritual-but-not-religious friends. With this crowd, the conversation can accelerate from sushi to spirituality in 5 seconds. That’s fast for a Liberal Christian. If you ask her whether she practices Buddhism or [...]
First, there was ‘Stuff White People Like.’ Then, ‘Stuff Christians Like.’ Soon, we at Homebrewed Christianity will bring you ‘Stuff Liberal Christians Like.’ I was just pitching the idea to Tripp about this new series and we thought of a ton of ideas for titles: from ‘Having token friends from other religions’ to ‘Reading Daily [...]
I saw this video on TED and thought it was an ‘idea worth spreading’ … it’s from a 1972 talk by holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl. Having flown in a kit aircraft my dad built, I’m familiar with what it’s like to be a passsenger landing in crosswind. So here’s a video of some gnarly crosswind [...]
