Experiencing God: an Open Online Class Kick off the new year with a nerdy good time. The next Homebrewed class will be a robust exploration of how the tools of science, philosophy, and theology help us discern meaning from divine encounters. Weâ€™ll discuss God-experiences as mediated through faith communities, the mind, nature, the Bible, psychedelics, and more. And weâ€™ll do all this with an eye towards the future, exploring the possibilities for how a lived-theology could express itself in the world. Check it out here.
