Heretic Happy Hour

#057: The God of Abundance LIVE Part 2

The Q&A Session brings the heat at our 2nd anniversary live show! Listen as we discuss whether our intentions are always accurate, if we can miss our calling and purpose, if God should get the credit for our success, if our podcast is part of the problem or the solution, and more! 

#056: The God of Abundance LIVE Part 1

Celebrate our 2nd Anniversary with us as we dissect the concept of “Jehovah Jireh.” Does God provide for everyone? Why are some blessed and others not? Do we create our own abundance? Or is this a Divine attribute? Plus, Saint Francis of Assisi is our Heretic of the Week!

#055: Is God Violent? (HOTW: Derek Flood)

Sometimes it seems like God is violent, but Jesus paints a different picture of a God who would rather die than respond with violence. So, which is it? Plus, Derek Flood, author of Disarming Scripture, is our Heretic of the Week!

#054: The Omni God (HOTW: Dustin Kensrue of Thrice)

Is the all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful God an expansion of our own human limitations? Plus, Dustin Kensrue of Thrice is our Heretic of the Week!

#053: Divine Parenthood (HOTW: Karl Forehand)

What does it mean to say that God is our "Abba" or even our "Mother"? Let's explore our identity as Children of God and hear from Heretic of the Week, Karl Forehand (author of Apparent Faith), on this week's podcast.

 

#052: Kenotic Love (HOTW: Marg Mowczko)

What do you do if you've got all the power in the Universe? If you're God, you give everything away for the sake of those you love, and that's everybody! Plus Marg Mowczko is our Heretic of the Week!

#051: The Incarnation (HOTW: Jim Palmer)

The Word (Logos) became flesh and dwelt among us. But are we the ongoing Incarnation of Christ in the world today, or is that heresy? Plus, Heretic of the Week Jim Palmer shares his genius with us.

#050: Universal Reconciliation (HOTW: David Bentley Hart)

The false doctrine of Eternal Suffering needs to die. Did you know that Universalism was one of the dominant views of the Church for the first 500 years? Yeah, let's bring that back. Plus, New Testament Scholar and translator, David Bentley Hart is our Heretic of the Week!

#049: The Problem of Suffering (HOTW: Thomas Jay Oord)

Why does God allow evil? Is God too weak? Does God use suffering, or is there more to the story? Plus, Thomas Jay Oord, author of God Can't, is our Heretic of the Week.

 

#048: The Atonement (HOTW: Brian Zahnd)

What are the different theories surrounding the Atonement? Why did Jesus die on the cross? Who killed him and why? And who decided to Substitute their Penal? Plus, Brian Zahnd (author of Postcards from Babylon, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, and A Farewell to Mars) is our Heretic of the Week!
