Oh, yeah, what is up theology nerds? This is Tripp, and guess what time it is. Well, it's time to listen to Homebrewed Christianity. You know how I knew that? Because you're listening. In this episode is a fun one, because I am joined by two of my friends, Thomas J. Ord, Andrew Davis, both open and relational theologians and philosophers.

And we tackle a stack of metaphysical questions.

From a process relational perspective, we also discuss how Whitehead understood religion.

What is religion?

What do they do?

Is Christianity a religion?

Are they important?

We think about an open and relational perspective and what it means to bring that into political conversations, the role of experience.

We think about the teachings of Jesus and what it means to interpret them from a philosophical point of view.

Look, look, there's a bunch of questions here, all right?

And we tackle them, and it's fun.

Andrew and Tom both will be at Theology Beer Camp October 13th to 15th in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

But they'll also be hanging out with me, Catherine Keller, John Totominal, and a whole bunch of

other process-related thinkers in Napa this November.

So if you couldn't come all the way out to the East Coast but want to hang out, nerd out with your geek out and get all processing, then get ready to hang out November 4th and 5th in Napa for power and the love of God. You'll hear more about it in this conversation since we were discussing getting the hang out back to back so quickly.

Well, before we hop in, I want to give a major shout out to the sponsor of this podcast episode.

That's right. This episode is sponsored by the Pacific School of Religion.

They've been unafraid since 1866. That's right. They have been addressing deep fidelity to the way of Jesus in the most radical ways possible, challenging all sorts of structural and systemic injustice from day one. And if you're thinking about considering even, want to talk to someone about the possibility of theological education.

There's no reason not to check Pacific School of Religion out.

They have the traditional masters of divinity degree.

They got a master's of art and social transformation, theological studies, a doctorate of ministry.

And listen, if you aren't down for a complete degree,
