Summary

Nothing says friendship like permission to dabble in heresies together. In this episode, a group of friends who happen to be scholars of philosophy, psychology, science, and religion try to make each other uncomfortable by sharing a heresy. This podcast format was inspired by Kevin Kelly, who got Tim Ferris to try it on his show. We all had some fun. Let us know what you think about the format and how we might change it up in the future. Dr. Myron Penner is a professor of philosophy at Trinity Western University and director of the Anabaptist-Mennonite Centre for Faith and Learning. On top of being a stellar scholar, he is a dear friend and the coolest Mennonite Canadian philosopher on planet earth. Dr. Sarah Lane Ritchie received her B.A. in Philosophy & Religion from Spring Arbor University, an M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and an M.Sc. in Science & Religion from the University of Edinburgh. She obtained her Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh in Science & Religion with a thesis on divine action and the human mind, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of St. Andrews. She has published a book with Cambridge University Press and numerous articles in academic journals, and continues research in the field of science and religion. Dan Koch is one of my favorite people. He reached out to connect in person when he was thinking of starting a podcast, and since then, he has not only produced several quality podcasts, but I have grown to love having him in my life. Pretty Good Vibrations analyzes and celebrates pop and rock music and its crucial role throughout our lives. Podcast veteran and host Dan Koch (You Have Permission Podcast) has been a professional musician for most of the last 20 years: songwriter for the emo-pop band Sherwood, then as a commercial composer since 2012. Multiple episode styles include bracket-style tournaments, chronological walk-throughs, and deep dives into genres, artists, and eras.

She has an MA in Theology and the Arts from Fuller Theological Seminary and works as communications director for Blueprint 1543, which cultivates integration between theology and the psychological sciences. Currently, she’s working on a feminist, sci-fi short film (winemakermovie.com). Before pursuing independent fiction and nonfiction projects, she worked for 10 years as part of Rob Zombie’s production and management team. More at secretartproject.com.

0:00.0	What is up theology nerds? Guess what? Guess what? You're listening to Homebrewed Christianity.
0:12.2	And I'm sure that's not a surprise because you clicked play. Nonetheless, we are back again,
0:17.9	bringing you some audiological goodness.
0:23.9	So you can think, reflect, wrestle with your own faith. And this is a special episode because guess why?
0:28.5	The Big Five are on the podcast.
0:33.0	Oh, yeah.
0:34.1	That rather pretentious sounding name is really just shorthand for, well, five friends.
0:41.0	Me, my friend Sarah Lane Richie, Myron Pinner, Cere Concepcion, and Dan Koch.
0:49.5	That's right, all of us met, became friends at some conferences and such all around theology and psychological sciences and such.
0:58.8	And then now we're here.
1:00.3	Now we're here in this episode.
1:02.1	We're doing a little fun, a little experiment and heresy.
1:05.9	But you'll hear about it.
1:07.1	But look, look, this was our attempt at trying some new, some new podcast formatting.
1:13.6	And I want to know what you think. But the main reason is all five of us are going to be at
1:19.1	Theology Beer Camp. And this is priming the pump, building the anticipation. But before we hop
1:26.5	in, know that this October coming up, I'm going to be
1:29.8	joined by Pete Inns from the Bible for normal people where we're having a class called Theology
1:35.8	for Normal People. And look, look, I know it's almost impossible to define who normal is,
1:40.7	but we did do a survey of 3,500 people without theological training, asked them their
1:45.7	biggest God question, got the top eight, and have built this class around it. So that's about
1:50.6	as close as we get. All right? And it's not just Pete and I digging in, helping people wrestle
