201. BONNIE KRISTIAN on The Knowledge Crisis Breaking Our Brains

201. BONNIE KRISTIAN on The Knowledge Crisis Breaking Our Brains

Bonnie Kristian returns to the show and we have a compelling conversation about her new book "Untrustworthy: The Knowledge Crisis Breaking Our Brains, Polluting Our Politics, and Corrupting Christian Community".

About the book: "Which news stations should I watch to be a responsible news consumer? How do I know what is true and whom I can trust? What can I do to combat all the misinformation and how it's impacting people I care about?

Many Americans are agonizing over questions such as these, feeling unsure and overwhelmed in today's chaotic information environment.

American life and politics are suffering from a raging knowledge crisis, and the church is no exception. In Untrustworthy, Bonnie Kristian unpacks this crisis and explores ways to combat it in our own lives, families, and church communities.

Drawing from her extensive experience in journalism and her training as a theologian, Kristian explores social media, political and digital culture, online paranoia, and the press itself. She explains factors that contribute to our confusion and helps Christians pay attention to how we consume content and think about truth. Finally, she provides specific ways to take action, empowering readers to avoid succumbing to or fueling the knowledge crisis."

https://www.bonniekristian.com/

Bonnie is the author of Untrustworthy: The Knowledge Crisis Breaking Our Brains, Polluting Our Politics, and Corrupting Christian Community (2022) and A Flexible Faith: Rethinking What It Means to Follow Jesus Today (2018). As a deputy editor and acting editor-in-chief at The Week, Bonnie writes and edits opinion pieces on foreign policy, religion, criminal justice, urbanism, civil liberties, electoral politics, and more. Her column, "The Lesser Kingdom," appears in print and online at Christianity Today. Her work has also been published at outlets including USA Today, Defense One, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Politico, Time, Reason, National Interest, and The American Conservative. A graduate of Bethel Seminary, she lives in Pittsburgh with her husband and twin sons.

199. Jonathan Foster (A Theology of Consent)

199. Jonathan Foster (A Theology of Consent)

Jonathan Foster returns to the BBBpod for a robust conversation on his new book, "A Theology of Consent: Mimetic Theory in an Open and Relational Universe". Jonathan intends to bring Rene Girard's Mimetic Theory together with Open and Relational Theology. Get into Jonathan"s work HERE. On Twitter. Jonathan's PODCAST.  Support Jonathan on PATREON -Mimetic theory is a concept developed by twentieth-century French anthropologist René Girard who saw that human desire is not individual but collective, or social. This has led to conflict and violence throughout human history. Check out The Invention of Blame on YouTube -Open and Relational Theology is an umbrella label under which a variety of theologies and believers reside. This variety shares at least two ideas in common: God experiences time moment by moment (open) God, us, and creation relate so that everyone gives and receives (relational) Most open and relational thinkers also affirm additional ideas, such as love is our ultimate ethic, creatures are free at least to some extent, all creation matters, life has purpose, genuine transformation is possible, science points to important truths, and mo To learn more about Open and Relational Theology go HERE.

194. The Faithful Floater (MATTHEW DISTEFANO RETURNS!)

194. The Faithful Floater (MATTHEW DISTEFANO RETURNS!)

So you're deconstructing...now what? Matthew Distefano is back on the show for a conversation on learning to embrace the mystery of faith when certainty is fleeting. It's a raw and honest conversation and we enjoyed our time with him.

Pick up his new book "Learning To Float: Deconstructing Doctrinal Certainty to Embrace the Mystery of Faith"  available now from Quoir Publishing

Learning to Float is a life preserver when you find yourself adrift in the midst of your faith journey. When waves of doubt and anxiety threaten to rise above your head, or when you simply find yourself weary of swimming in the midst of unending waters, this book is your buoy. It's the gentle arms of friends holding you up so that you can breathe, even as currents of questions continue to sweep you up and move you along. It's the comforting whisper in your ear when you need it the most: "It's okay; I've got you. You're not alone."

Matthew J. Distefano knows his theology and philosophy, but far more importantly, he is 100 percent authentic. And as he mediates his story through conversation with Michelle Collins-whose wisdom, compassion, and friendship guide him as he articulates his deconstruction process-readers are bound to see parallels to their own journeys and struggles.

189. Magic Mushroom Missionaries w/ Kevin Sweeney

189. Magic Mushroom Missionaries w/ Kevin Sweeney

Kevin Sweeney joins us to talk about his provocative new book: "The Making of a Mystic: My Journey with Mushrooms, My Life as a Pastor, and Why It’s Okay For Everyone to Relax". Can psilocybin (AKA Magic mushrooms) lead someone to Christ? The answer is yes and Kevin tells us all about it. Dig in and let us know what you think.

About the book: “There is an increasing interest in the mystics, contemplative faith, and what this feels like in real life. We have teachers who can explain the path and help us understand, but we need guides who have experienced the path, and who can show us how it unfolds. This is what the making of a mystic is about. While everyone is talking about deconstruction, their faith falling apart, and the dark night of the soul, this book is written from the place of joy, freedom, and light on the other side.”

About Kevin: He is the host of the podcast “The Church Needs Therapy” and is the author of the forthcoming books, “The Making of a Mystic: My Journey with Mushrooms, My Life as a Pastor, and Why It’s Okay For Everyone to Relax,” out on May 31st, and “The Joy of Letting Go” which will be out in January 2023. Both on Quoir Publishing.

He lives In Honolulu with his wife and co-founder of Imagine, Christine, and their two kids, True and Mikayla.

188. Toddios Everybody (Todd Rodarmel)

On April 17, 2022, Todd Rodarmel preached his last sermon at Mountain View Church (MVC) after 20 incredible years. We got to sit down and chat over a few pints with our close friend & pastor (not yours, Scott) on his first day of not leading MVC. It's a great discussion of his experience and memories from a rich and meaningful time leading the church. Thank you, Todd - we'll miss you bro.
