What is up Theology Nerds? This is Tripp. And on this episode of Homebrewed Christianity,

I'm joined by Ryan Burge, American political scientist, a tition, also a Baptist pastor and professor at Eastern Illinois University.

He's coming back on the podcast this time he's got some charts looking at, oh, the victory

to victory, trajectory of religious theological education and ministry as a vocation.

And then all other sorts of things we get around to in this.

Anyway, if you want to check him out, go to graphs about religion.com.

You can follow all of the graphs he puts out on a consistent basis with religion and political

data. He's going to be coming back on

to do some graphs, the ones that could help give you a framing as you go into an election year

if you're thinking religion and politics. But anyway, Ryan, right here, before we hop in,

friends, friends, friends, if you want to come hang out in person this October, go to theologybier.com.

You can hang out with me, 20 plus theologians and 20 plus godpods in the wonderful city of Denver, Colorado.

Theology beer.com, grab them.

Grab those tickets and come chill out.

And if you want to hang out on the interwebs, then, yeah, let me tell you about God after

deconstruction.

Thomas J. Ord, open and relational theologian and I, have put together a video series,

10 videos around 30 to 35 minutes-ish on 10 different topics that people are in

faith transition about, deconstructing about, and they're there for you to engage, use

individually, or use in a group, and facilitate and such. If you go to Godafterdeconstruction.com,

you can grab those videos, donate anything you want, and then, and then this April.

We're going to have a series of live streams with everyone that's signed up to tackle questions, unpack, dig deeper, and nerd out together.
