A little more Jewish perspective. Originally Rabbi Brian thought this podcast has enough Jewish in it with just his own voice. He was wrong. Listen for the call to redemption. My wife has a rabbi. It’s not me. It’s Michael Lezak. And, he is my rabbi too. I turn towards Michael to find my moral […]

Not resuscitation, resurrection. Connecting with people even when we disagree. It’s possible. And, here’s how to do that. Larry is my B.F.F. He grew up as a fund-damn-mentalist.

The Bible and power. They might use the Bible to convince you of your “otherness” but the Bible is about how loved you are. She is a modern day prophet. Don’t take that to mean she can tell the future. Nope. She is the type of prophet who speaks truth. Truth, truth, truth. She is

Literalism is so limited. Reading the stories (like that of Noah) as though we too are experiencing them. Job and the origins of the devil. (And, more King David bashing.) Alex is radical. Both uses of the word. She loves God and humanity as much if not more than just about anyone that I know.

Books that aren’t in the Bible but are Biblical books. The story of the good Samaritan is probably one you know, and you know it wrong. And, others. Misinformation gets schooled. I met Toni at the Embrace festival in Portland, Oregon and just loved her presentation on the Nag Hamadi texts. And, then I got

Abortion legitimatized in scripture! How to interpret what you know. How to love the Bible even when people are hating on you for it – take the high road. I don’t think I would have the stomach to be a gay, female liberal preacher in Fort Worth Texas. But, Lee Ann Bryce has extraordinary courage

Multiple authors of the Bible and horrible translations. A roller coaster ride of learning about the Bible from two guys who seem to know a lot about it. My friend Lori told me that I had to interview Peter. It was one of those recommendations that felt like being invited to hear a friend’s friend
