In his profound and deeply personal new book, EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL: Who We Are and What We're Doing Here, New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell explores the endless dynamic questions and connections that have shaped his life, providing powerful insight into understanding one's purpose and place in the world.

EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL is a brief history of how ideas about creation, love, and connection shaped the author—and can shape every one of us. In EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL, Bell explores the wonder and awe that comes from embracing where and who you come from, discovering in the wounds and regrets of life an invitation lurking in there to expand, much like the universe has been doing for 13 billion years.

EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL shows there is a space beyond all the parts and divisions and differences and polarization where you can see that it’s all one connected whole—and that it’s all rigged in favor of growth, expansion, and joy.

ROB BELL is the New York Times Bestselling author of ten books, including Velvet Elvis, Drops Like Stars, and Love Wins, which have been translated into 25 languages. His podcast, called RobCast, was named by iTunes Best of 2015. He's toured with Oprah, been profiled in The New Yorker, and in 2011 TIME Magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. He does regular shows at Largo, a comedy and music club in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Kristen and their three kids.

Daniel shares with us the importance of letting go. 

Andrew Wilson s Teaching Pastor at King’s Church London, and has degrees in history and theology from Cambridge (MA), London School of Theology (MTh), and King’s College London (PhD). He is an award-winning columnist for Christianity Today and his writing appears regularly in a variety of christian columns. 

I stumbled across Andrews most recent book,Spirit and Sacrament: An Invitation to Eucharismatic Worship. I appreciated his approach to valuing both the liturgical practices as well as the movement of the spirit in worship contexts.

He has also authored several other books, including, Echoes of Exodus: Tracing Themes of Redemption through Scripture.

It was a pleasure having Andrew on the show as we talk through why the modern church has widely walked away from the sacraments and liturgical practices as well as why the high church has rejected a charismatic movement of the Spirit and why all of this matters.

You can also check out more of Andrews work here. Or be sure to follow along with him on Twitter.

Dr. David P. Gushee is a Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics and Director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University.

David came on the show to chat with us about a recent book Changing our Mind where he outlines the journey he went on as he looked to scripture for guidance on how we should engage with our LGBT brothers and sisters.

He is the author and/or editor of 24 books and approximately 150 book chapters, journal articles, and reviews. His most notable books include: Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust, Kingdom Ethics, The Sacredness of Human Life, Changing our Mind, and Moral Leadership for a Divided Age.

We cover all the most quoted passages of scripture when it comes to the LGBTQ conversation. David lends his expertise in breaking these passages down and also delineating differences between Greek and Roman sexuality.
