all that's holy: blue collar podcst
What happens when missionally minded folks, who are also into sports and athletics, combine their passions for reading, cooking, and preaching and spend time talking together? Hopefully a thoughtful conversation with unexpected connections: NFL draft and the nature of the Holy Spirit; preaching as outlined in baking recipes; batting averages, what triple-doubles have to do with what it means to be a church of mutual accountability. We are allergic to big words, but not big ideas. DISCLAIMER: Profound things will be said, but it will be entirely by accident.

A belated happy new year. We’re finally showing up here.
As the year begins, we look at the upcoming Super Bowl, and will be focusing on the Academy Awards.
And just because Craig was feeling nostalgic, the transition music is all from Five Iron Frenzy’s musical search for Reese Roper’s pants.
After getting it figured out what time of the year it is (year’s end - Gregorian calendar, year’s beginning - lectionary calendar), we agree it is Christmastide.
Odd word, “Christmastide”, but as of this recording, it is the 4th Day of Christmas, so the Christmas tide is still rising.

Cody and Craig discussed the process of deconstructing theological assumptions by thinking about coconut macaroons, letting go of beliefs that are no longer true or beneficial, and the potential for reconstructing beliefs to align with a deeper truth.

We continue talking about the nature of assumptions we carry in our theology, with a slight nod to James Fowler’s stages of faith. What would your present theological understanding say to your 20-yr old theological self? What makes it change? Fowler noted that there are some folks who don’t get beyond their early faith, and then live on with assumptions that resist maturing. Here’s a little...

Craig and Cody had a wide-ranging discussion covering technology, New Year's resolutions, theological assumptions, sports ethics, and popular TV shows. They also touched on racial issues in sports and the issues around 'sportswashing', responsible gambling.

Sarah Augustine Episode 83
Cody and I have been on break for a while. Summer means a different pace of work, family time, and travel. We both had church conferences, and other work-related activities. And there were delays because of health issues as well.
We spoke with Sarah Augustine earlier this Spring ab...
Together, Craig and Colin discuss how even those traditions (Craig’s Mennonite church, and Colin’s Friends meetings) can be lured into Christian Nationalism. Additionally, we spend some time discussing the experience of early Quakers in colonial America and execution of the “Boston Martyrs,” by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. From 1659-1661, the theocratic colony executed Marmaduke Stephenson...

Episode 76: Pamela Cooper-White, part two
Like a football game, or a basketball game, we’re trying to outline our podcast into four quarter. After checking in with each other, we begin by continuing our conversation from the last episode regarding Christian Nationalism. There are numerous resources mentioned in this conversation, especially scholars ...
In this episode we begin our series on describing a pastoral response to Christian nationalism. We also learn from scholar, Dr Pamela Cooper-White and her work at helping to bridge and create meaningful conversations with those who are Christian nationalists.
Pamela Cooper-White is the Christine Brooks Johnson Professor of Psychology and Religion at...
Cody and Craig are back. This episode is a preview of some of the topics we are looking to jump into as 2023 moves along. We will be a bit more organized, maybe. One can hope!
We are pursuing two different series. We’ve never really carried out a series before, so this might not only be a challenge for us, but for you, our listeners.
In this conversation Craig gets to visit with Dr. Brittany Wilson associate professor of New Testament at Duke University Divinity School about her book, Embodying God: Seeing the Divine in Luke-Acts and the Early Church, and the different ways that ways we can be enabled to consider the presence of God. One of the things that this book creates is a little bit of a conflict with the classic...
Before we get around to discussing the value of public apiologies, we queue up Youtube and Spotify tunes. We got into a discussion of what music we’ve been listening to this summer. Eventually, we get around to discussing one of Cody’s favorite bands, Mewithoutyou which just completed their farewell your. We’ll hear more about Mewithoutyou in a podcast later this year.
Cody and Craig take on a number of topics on their way toward discussing the theological metaphors arising in season four of Stranger Things. If you have not watched it yet, you should. Cody’s family would suggest that you have a few boxes of tissues readily available.
But, before we talk about that, we cover a range of topics, unrelated other than ...
