    S2 Ep8 | J Zip the S.J.

    Fr. Jeremy Zipple, S.J., joins us from Belize City, Belize, to talk life and faith, discernment and practice. Father Jeremy is a double graduate of Boston College and was ordained a priest in 2013, a first step in more than a decade of formation and discernment, as you’ll hear him describe. He is a former executive editor of America Films at America Media as well as a director and writer of documentaries for National Geographic, PBS, and Discovery. He currently resides in Belize City, Belize, teaching, living, and even serving as a parish priest for a time. -- You can learn more about the Jesuits/the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of priests and brothers founded half a millennium ago by the soldier-turned-mystic Ignatius Loyola, here: https://www.jesuits.org And read a little about St. Ignatius of Loyola's teaching on desolation and consolation here: https://thejesuitpost.org/2022/03/jesuit-101-consolation-and-desolation/ -- Want to see some of Fr.

    S2Ep6: Oteil and the Elves [Oteil Burbridge]

    Finally! The episode I've anticipated since the start of Beyond Religion: things get *weird* as Oteil Burbridge talks magic, mythology, and mystery. From professional wrestling to Icelandic elves, we cover a lot of ground. Dive in! ABOUT OTEIL: Oteil Burbridge is a Grammy award winning, American multi-instrumentalist, specializing on the bass guitar, trained in playing jazz and classical music from an early age. He has achieved fame primarily on bass guitar during the resurgence of the Allman Brothers Band from 1997 through 2014, and as a founding member of the band Dead & Company. Burbridge was also a founding member of The Aquarium Rescue Unit and Tedeschi Trucks Band, with whom his brother (the late) Kofi Burbridge was the keyboardist and flautist. He has worked with other musicians including Bruce Hampton, Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Bill Kreutzmann, and Derek Trucks. So if you’ve made your way to Beyond Religion today because you’re a fan of Oteil and his music, welcome to my humble podcast.

    An Update on Quitting

    Not an episode…just a word that I’m still here. Final Sunday as senior pastor is 9/25. Then we figure out what exists…beyond religion.

    S2Ep4: The Finite and the Infinite [Zoe Garry]

    Rev. Zoe Garry and I talk church, representation in ministry, generational differences, and what brings us hope as Gen Z enters the workaday world (as well as religious institutions...or decidedly *not* entering religious institutions.) What is fixed and immovable? What is evolving and emerging? A great talk. Dive in! Rev. Zoë Garry is the Campus Minister and Director of NOLA Wesley/The Labyrinth Cafe (New Orleans). Zoe is an ordained minister in the PCUSA and a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary with a concentration in Women, Gender, and Theology. She completed her Clinical Pastoral Education at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital in Trenton, New Jersey. Prior to clinical training, she was an intern and later liturgist for the Princeton University Chapel, where she created liturgy, designed curriculum, and ministered to the students and community at Princeton. Interfaith ministry has always been central to her call. This can be seen in her work with the Chautauqua Institute as the Christian coordinator for the Abrahamic Program for Young Adults and her certification to facilitate interfaith dialogues through the Interfaith Center of Philadelphia. College ministry and academia are both passions of Zoë’s and she strives to create a dynamic ministry that Christ-centered, open-tabled, and affirming at NOLA Wesley. You can find out more about her work at https://wesley.tulane.edu and the cafe at https://wesley.tulane.edu/the-labyrinth/
