About Hodgepodge Theology

Hodgepodge (häj-päj) Theology (thē-ä-lə-jē) is a mixed-bag of topics, life lessons, wisdom and silliness, all with one purpose: To equip people to understand Christ better and to walk in His footsteps with joy. At first glance, this might look like an, "All roads lead to God" kind of thing. We can assure you, it is not. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6 NIV). There is only one way. There is only one path to salvation. There is only one truth. It's all found in Christ Jesus. Life is a journey. As we travel down the road, we can have fun along the way. We need to speak truthfully about challenges and heartaches as well. All of this happens as we pursue the destination: Jesus.

The Center of Worship (and Goodbye to "67")

If you've known any young teens or kids in the year of our Lord, 2025/2026, you probably have heard the term, "67." Today, here on HPT, (officially Epidode 67) we lay that to rest. We deem "67" as dead and gone. Sorry. We had to take action since no one else would. Eric introduces his friend, Rev. Jonathan Gabhart [https://pillarchurch.com/rev-jonathan-gabhart/], Spencer native and pastor of worship arts at Pillar Church in Michigan. The discussion drives us to consider the vital elements of worship. Is it about preference of musical style, or the posture of one's heart towards God (the true object of our worship). We invite you to join the conversation and see! Stick around until the end and you'll hear an easter egg/bonus track/outtake.

Episode 66: A Dramatic Pause and an Outro of Silence

"Is that your truth, or the truth?" In this episode, James and Eric dive headfirst into the blurring lines of the modern era. As AI reshapes how we consume and create information, the guys tackle the dangerous shift from objective reality to "self-proclaimed truth." How do we stay anchored when the world around us is moving at fiber-optic speeds? In This Episode: * The Age of AI: A look at the "new era" we've entered. Is technology outpacing our ability to discern? * Self-Proclaimed vs. Actual Truth: Exploring the theological and practical dangers of "living your truth" versus standing on The Truth. * The Buffet of Media Gluttony: We talk about the constant noise we invite into our lives and why our brains (and souls) are feeling the bloat. * The Spiritual Discipline of Silence: Why "fasting" isn't just about food anymore. The guys discuss the necessity of cutting the digital cord to find intentionality with the Father. * Practicing Presence: How to move from mindless scrolling to mindful spiritual discipline. A Note on This Week's Outro: In the spirit of our discussion on intentionality, you'll notice something different as this episode closes. We've stripped away the music and the typical sign-offs. For the first time ever, we are concluding with a call to five minutes of silence. The audio will fade to black shortly after the final word, leaving you with the space to sit with the Father. We invite you not to rush to the next podcast or song, but to simply remain in the stillness. We cannot hear the whisper of the Father if we are constantly deafened by the noise of our own media gluttony.

Episode 65: Hollywood, The Sequel!!

Waaaaaaay back, in Episode 17 [https://hodgepodgetheology.com/hodgepodge-theology-episode-17-hollywood-prayer-the-power-of-the-gospel], "very special guest," Karen Covell, was introduced. Karen is a producer and the founder of the Hollywood Prayer Network [https://hollywoodprayernetwork.org/]. Today, nearly 50 episodes later, Karen and her husband, Jim, are IN STUDIO for another installment of a fun and hearty conversation about faith and the arts. Jim, a composer for film and TV, provided affirmation and clarity for HPT's intro and outro music. While we still will refer to it as, "funky," Jim also said that it is, "quirky." This description satisfied both Eric and James. Enjoy the banter as it all points us to Christ and how He calls His people to a life of creativity.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
