Oh, yeah. What is up theology nerds? This is Tripp. And guess what? On Homebrewed Christianity

today. You get the return of the theology nerd throwdown. That's right. This is a podcast

that we used to run back when we had a bunch of feeds. And it featured me and my friend, the Bow Daddy, Bo Sanders. He returns to the podcast for this 15th birthday celebration. We're joined by Tony Jones. And you'll introduce them all in a second, okay? All right. Now, I want to just give you a heads up.

This was recorded live.

Late night, we were sharing beverages, doing some toast, and, yeah, so it has in it,

all the features of a live conversation.

If you skip ahead for a while, you'll get to O Contrere Monfair, long-time theological

battle game of sorts that

Beau invented and was on the podcast for a while games we'd play live. And then after that, we do

a toast to my original co-host, Chad Crawford. By that point, I was a little tipsy and deeply

emotional and talk about the power of friends.

And I remain grateful for Chad Crawford having been my friend and for having Beau and Tony

his friends.

And that's what we're doing tonight.

So it's not going to be the most nerdy of all time, but it is fun.

It is friends and

you are all theologians that are doing it. But before I jump in, I just want to say to all of you

that listen, thank you. Thank you so much. I mean, I don't even know what the, what really,

how else I say it, but I get messages from messages from you know thousands of people each year

in some way telling me that this matters to them has helped them think through wrestle

find resources connect with people all that kind of stuff no they're not alone and their

questions and frustrations and doubts
