“The Deep End Series: Suffering & God | Peter Rollins” Ep#43

“Aliens & Theology | What Are Aliens? (Steve Brown & Grant Eckhart)”Ep#44

Are we alone, or are we experiencing a slow-drip government disclosure of Non-Human Intelligence? On this episode of Spiritual Hot Talk, host Chris Jones sits down with Grant Eckhart (curator of Ministry of the Weird) and Dr. Steve Brown (Professor of Philosophy at OSU and co-founder of the Visible College) to break down why traditional "aliens or demons" binaries are theologically juvenile. Moving past standard government propaganda and Project Bluebeam anxieties, the team explores the deep waters of biblical cosmology, ancient religious traditions, the looming exponential spike of artificial intelligence, and how the church can sit in the "weird" lovingly and open-mindedly.

“The Deep End Series: Suffering & God | Peter Rollins” Ep#43

In this episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce, host Chris Jones sits down with author and philosopher Peter Rollins to explore the core concepts of "pyro-theology" and the radical idea of finding God not in wholeness, but in human brokenness and existential lack. Drawing heavily from existential philosophy and psychoanalysis, Rollins challenges the traditional, transactional view of religion—where believers approach God to "fix" their suffering or secure material blessings. Instead, he argues that a fundamental trauma and sense of dissatisfaction are built into the very structure of being human.
