Samuel Davidson: Deep Ecology Meets Deep Ecclesiology

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Samuel Davidson to explore an ecological vision for the church through the integration of deep ecology and deep ecclesiology. The discussion highlights Davidson's work on constructing an ecological theology that aligns Christian orthodoxy with modern environmental insights, aiming to evolve a theological understanding of the church in light of ecological interconnectedness. The conversation covers practical steps for congregations to engage in ecological renewal, including sustainable gardening practices such as planting native grasses to support local ecosystems. Additionally, Davidson introduces a seminar series on eco-theology, featuring readings, lectures, and discussions designed to foster community and communicate ecological responsibility.

Robert Wright: Evolution, Empathy, and the Future of Humanity

In this episode, I am joined by one of my favorite scholars in the public square, Robert Wright, the editor of the Nonzero Newsletter. This is a captivating discussion about artificial intelligence, consciousness, and the future of humanity. We explore Wright's extensive work, including 'Nonzero,' 'The Evolution of God,' and 'Why Buddhism is True,' while delving into the intersections of science, religion, and philosophy. Discover the implications of AI for humanity, the critical role of international cooperation in technology governance, and the moral and spiritual dimensions needed to navigate rapid technological changes. The conversation also addresses the complexities of sentience, cognitive empathy, and the evolutionary drives in AI, with insights from philosophers like Teilhard de Chardin and Alfred North Whitehead. Robert Wright is president of The Nonzero Foundation. He is the author, most recently, of Why Buddhism Is True. His previous book, The Evolution of God (2009), was a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His other books include The Moral Animal, Nonzero, and Three Scientists and Their Gods. He has written for Time, Slate, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, The New Republic, The New York Times Magazine, Foreign Policy, and the op-ed pages of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Financial Times.

Sing Sing: Humanity Beyond Bars

I am so excited to share this conversation with two of the people behind the film entitled Sing, Sing. If you have seen it, you know how powerful the movie is, and if you haven’t — GO SEE IT! You will not be disappointed. (Check the trailer.) The film is based on a true story, weaving through the lives of incarcerated men involved in a theater group. The narrative is enriched by the presence of some of the actual characters and a creative team who spent time teaching their own acting classes in prison. The film weaves themes of humanity, hope, transformation, and friendship into a narrative that challenges cultural labels associated with incarceration. The movie left a lasting impact, underscoring the power of community and the dignity inherent in every individual. My friend and filmmaker Sarey Conception was also moved by the film and joined me to talk with the director, Greg Kwedar, and actor, Sean San Jose, for the podcast. She was moved by their intention and dedication to storytelling, which resonated deeply with her as a fellow filmmaker. It's a daunting task to create a film, especially within the complex landscape of the business side of cinema. Yet, Greg and Sean describe a unique approach to filmmaking, fostering a culture of light and storytelling in which the process of making the film matches the heart of its story. "Sing Sing" is more than a film; it's a testament to the power of community, equality, and the human spirit. By challenging traditional narratives and fostering a genuinely supportive environment, the filmmakers have created something truly special. We both loved the film and our conversation with Sean and Greg. We hope you'll take the time to experience "Sing Sing" and appreciate the depth it brings to the discussion about art, justice, and humanity.

Eye-opening Talk with “Life After Doom” Author Brian McLaren

May 13

ForeverHis@23

Tripp Fuller features fresh perspectives in discussing “Life After Doom” with groundbreaking author and leader Brian McLaren. Christians need to learn much more about how the “Empire” nature of the West has shaped modern Christianity and led to the toxic and destructive legacy of existential ecological crisis.
Same toxicity as evangelicals just different politics

I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because I really do appreciate and enjoy the historical criticism, incites and theological perspectives I had not been exposed to before and some of the guests like John Dominic Crossan. But then you listen more and you learn that Tripp and his friends all live in an academic echo chamber and are every bit as toxic, intellectually dishonest, and hypocritical as the fundamentalist evangelical cult I was raised in. I was excited to discover this podcast along with a couple of others at first because I did go down a deconstruction journey from deep Southern Baptist roots. It’s just so disappointing and frustrating when Tripp and his guests talk about things with such certainty that they are quite obviously unqualified to address. I listened because I’m looking for people more educated than me in Biblical historical criticism and non penal substitutionary atonement theology, not to hear people less educated than me in business, politics, or technology moan about it. They have the same disease as the Jerry Fallwells of the world just a different manifestation. They preach love and tolerance and caring for the marginalized etc. but then you listen to them and they really mean love and tolerance and caring for people who agree with their politics. Those who don’t are the problem, same as the evangelicals I ran away from. I was hopeful to just find some normal ‘Christians’ or people interested in ancient religious traditions who could be respectful to everyone, even those who don’t agree with them. These are not those people.
