The depth of our existence
NT Wright has been instrumental in reconfiguring my theology on the Kingdom of God. How I think about heaven and eternity and the depth of my existence has been deeply formed by NT Wright and Dallas Willard in the past few decades.

Why still be a Christian?
This question comes up in an era of so many leaving the American church. There are quite a few stories of why many left. There are also stories of why people stayed. The Holy Post Podcast is bringing out a series with folks who have been vilified by the white evangelical church … and yet they still follow Jesus. Why?

The absence of words doesn’t change reality
This podcast with David French really needs your attention. I know those who don’t claim to be Christian Nationalists (and are) and those who are bold enough to SAY they are Christian Nationalists (with their alternative meaning) won’t take the time. My appeal is fellow believers who are about my age and are tired of speaking out.

Nostaligic history, reading the Bible well, and other such things

What has saved my sanity in many ways the past few years
A few years ago I found Phil Vischer doing a podcast. (Vischer was a co-founder of VeggieTales, which our boys grew up on and we consumed even after the boys were long gone.) He was chatting with Skye Jethani and Christian Taylor about what was happening to the evangelical world they thought they knew. It has since morphed into “The…

Myth busting my evangelical life
I’ve spent quite a bit of time on the road the last couple of weeks, so that has meant a lot of audiobooks and podcasts. Three podcasts I listened to recently highlight the continual demythologizing going on in my life.

Hacking our way to clarity
The second half of this Holy Post Podcast has an interview with Philip Yancey. They feature his latest book, which is his memoir. Yancey has been a challenging voice for me for decades. (His interview comes around 49 minutes in.) With our current struggle with terminology like “deconstruction”, Yancey represents the understanding that some form of deconstruction happens in every…
