This week my friend Kenneth McIntosh is back on the podcast to discuss his new book "The Secret of the Green Man's Soul". This is a fun conversation where Kenneth invites us into the mysteries of the Green Man, something I knew very little about. We have a wide ranging conversation discussing the history of the Green Man, spirituality, the importance of symbols, nature, religious pluralism, and more. Enjoy!

This week Dr. Bradford McCall sat down with me to discuss his newest book, "Macroevolution, Contingency, and Divine Activity: Divine Involvement through Uncontrolling, Amorepotent Love in an Evolutionary World". How is the contingentist amorepotent and uncontrolling love of God understood as purposeful? If there is a laundry list of things an uncontrolling God CAN'T do... what CAN and uncontrolling God do? McCall insists that God amorepotently loves the population of the natural world into greater forms of complexity, relationally, and beauty in varied and multifarious forms, along with the extension of diversity. Enjoy!

This week Tony Jones sat down with me to have an honest and vulnerable conversation about his new book "The God of Wild Places: Rediscovering the Divine in the Untamed Outdoors". Tony's book was both challenging and moving. I genuinely wrestled through some of the content and came out on the other side better for it. We discuss Tony's journey out of the church and into the woods, online controversy, narcissism, insecurity, hunting, friendship, our love for dogs, death, and what it means to embrace our finitude. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Tony as much as I did.

This week Hebrew Bible Scholar Dr. John H. Walton joins the show to discuss his new book, "The Lost World of the Prophets: Old Testament Prophecy and Apocalyptic Literature in Ancient Context". Walton claims that being responsive to God is at the heart of prophecy, but average readers of ancient prophecies and apocalyptic literature often come away thoroughly perplexed. Are the prophets speaking about their own times, about our present, or about some still-unrealized future?
It's common to study prophecy with a focus on the sole question of prediction and fulfillment, either for the sake of apologetics or for understanding the end times, but such an approach fails to track with the original intent of the authors. We need to shake loose both from a paradigm of reading prophecy as an offer of mysterious divination as well as from the habit of constructing eschatological timelines of any sort. Walton helps us answer the question, "How do we read prophecy and apocalyptic literature like responsible adults?". Enjoy!
