"Public Theologians” is a terrific podcast by Casey Hobbs. Earlier in the first year of the podcast Casey had a dialogue with a cohost, but Jerran moved on and Casey has developed the show into a roughly weekly deep-dive interview with theologians, researchers, pastoral leaders, and activists about a wide range of urgent topics: from racism, to prisoners' rights, to Evangelical sexual culture, to the end of the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan (full disclosure: I was recently interviewed by him on the latter topic). And much more! While not limited to examination of Evangelical views and practices, the podcast has a particular strength in casting a critical eye at ways that Evangelical Christians have lost their way when viewed in light of the whole Gospel. Casey and his guest challenge listeners to consider what it really means to follow Christ in the 21st century. Would He really be policing what a married couple do in the bedroom, or would He be found at a BLM protest? Listen to inform your own answers to this question.
