Theology and the World with Brian McLaren

Brian McLaren [https://brianmclaren.net] is an author, speaker, activist, public theologian, and a friend who’s helped me a lot over the years. I’ve read many, many of his books and am really glad to have him on the channel today to talk about … authoritarianism and why it’s alive and well in our world, why it’s a left wing and a right wing problem, creativity and writing, the 40 day indigenous vision quest of Jesus, relational theology and how events are things that happen to us in the midst of change, and much more, including the world premiere of the opening line of a song i composed while in a interview at a church a couple years ago, which goes … “I’d rather be hiking thinkin’ about God than sitting in church thinkin’ about hikin'.” And if you ask, yes, I will give the rest of the lyrics. 😂 Tori's Substack [https://substack.com/@toriowens] Jonathan's Substack [https://substack.com/@jonathanunderscorefoster]

Conversations of Peace in Times of War with Savannah Locke

We love artists, particularly those with a sense of humor, and that's why it was fun to have Savannah Locke [https://www.instagram.com/savannah_locke] on the OffCanon show today. Find her substack here [https://substack.com/@savannahlocke]and make sure to pick up her lastest album here. [https://music.apple.com/us/album/songs-of-peace-in-times-of-war/1876180305] Just think, you could be doing all that while you’re listening to our conversation with her about christian music, violence, anti-violence, the presence of God in the most unexpected places, references to Bob Bell, and why we should change Tori’s name to Shannon.  Plus, a first for the OffCanon podcast: we're playing music written and performed by our guest. Yes, we were given permission by Savannah to share one of her songs, so per Tori's request, we'll be playing God Have Mercy at the end of the episode. You have permission to fast-forward to to the end and sample the song, but only, if you come back and listen to the entire show immediately following that sampling. Those are the rules. We have very few rules, but that's one of them!  Thank you everyone, ✌🏼 Tori's Substack [https://substack.com/@toriowens] Jonathan's Substack [https://substack.com/@jonathanunderscorefoster]
