    Frank Schaeffer talks with bestselling author and theologian Diana Butler Bass about Advent, spiritual resilience, and her new book A Beautiful Year.

  3. Brian Cranley: Wonder, Logic, and the God of Reason

    Brian Cranley: Wonder, Logic, and the God of Reason

    What happens when a former evangelical-turned-atheist-who-prays sits down with a Catholic engineer–philosopher who nearly became a priest… and then founded a medical device company… and then wrote a book arguing that logic, science, and divinity aren’t enemies but dance partners? Frank Schaeffer speaks with Brian Cranley, author of The Call of Wonder: How the God of Reason Created Science in His Image, about the Big Bang, Aquinas, Plato, Aristotle, cosmology, consciousness, mystery, logic, faith, doubt, and why wonder might be the deepest human instinct we share. A conversation that moves from cosmology to parenting, from quantum beginnings to spiritual hunger, from medical science to metaphysics, and straight into the heart of what it means to be human.

    Unpacking The Gospel with Christian Smith, PhD

    Unpacking The Gospel with Christian Smith, PhD Frank Schaeffer joins sociologist Christian Smith, PhD, author of "Why Religion Went Obsolete" and "Moral Believing Animals", for a deep conversation about Frank’s new book, "The Gospel of Zip." Together they explore the book’s central themes: how dogs teach us humility, forgiveness, and connection; what Frank calls the “survival of the friendliest”; and how love, caregiving, and beauty offer a countercultural answer to division and loneliness. Frank reflects on growing up as the son of theologian Francis Schaeffer, the lessons of failure and forgiveness, and why he’s giving away "The Gospel of Zip" for free on YouTube. Watch "The Gospel of Zip" https://youtu.be/IiYjrYmMWhA They discuss faith, loss, and finding meaning beyond dogma—and how religion, evolution, and a sweet little brown dog named Zip all point toward the same truth: “Together is good.

    The Gospel of Zip

    Why am I giving my book away for free? I’ve been a writer my whole life, but this book—The Gospel of Zip—is different. It’s about my dog, Zip. It’s about my fifty-six-year relationship with my wife, Genie. It’s about what I’ve learned really matters: love, caregiving, family, friendship. In a world that feels more divided than ever, I wanted to offer something honest and healing. That’s why I’m not just selling this book. I’m giving it away for free. For the last seven years, I’ve poured myself into this project. No strings attached. No catch. Not because I don’t value my work, but because I value the message even more. At seventy-three, I don’t need to chase a publisher’s advance or turn this into a fundraising campaign. What I want most is to share what I’ve discovered: that the secret to surviving hard times—Trump years, culture wars, political dysfunction—is the same secret that has kept Genie and me together for over half a century. Love. Care. Community. Or, as I put it in the book, “the survival of the friendliest.” We live in an era of echo chambers and algorithms that divide us. But history—and even a dog like Zip—teaches us something better. People have endured far darker times than these by leaning into cooperation, connection, and kindness. That’s the lesson Zip lives out every day: greeting everyone as a friend, finding common ground where I might not, reminding me that forgiveness and joy are more powerful than resentment. If we can learn to live that way ourselves I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.

    Dr. Clint Heacock: Escaping Bill Gothard, Faith Deconstruction & Rebuilding Spiritual Integrity

    Dr. Clint Heacock spent decades pursuing the “victorious Christian life” promised by Bill Gothard and conservative Christianity. Instead, he witnessed spiritual control, family harm, and the failure of authoritarian religion. In this conversation, Clint shares: Growing up in Gothard-influenced ChristianityHis journey through Bible college, ministry, and a Ph.D. in theologyWhy he left the faith he once devoted his life toHow he now studies cult dynamics & religious extremismWhat healthy community looks like after deconstructionA powerful conversation for anyone healing from high-control religion and rebuilding a life rooted in compassion, freedom, and truth. _____ LINKS https://www.lovechildrenplanet.com/events/it-has-to-be-read-not-so-shiny-not-so-happy-people-by-dr-clint-heacock-phd The Dismantling Doctrine Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dismantling-doctrine-podcast/id1199559501 I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.
