Summary

In this solo episode, I talk about some of the highlights over the last year of the Theology in the Raw podcast. I give a little insight into how I pick guests, and some thoughts on platforming. We get into some of the stats, and I share some of my favorite positive (and negative) reviews from the Apple podcast app.

It's been a great year! I'm glad you're with me.

0:00.0	Hey, friends, happy new year. Thank you to all of you who had been listening to Theology
0:09.9	to Ra, whether it's been for the last few weeks or the last few years. I'm always amazed
0:14.5	when I talk to people that say, I've been listening to you since 2016, 2017, when the show
0:20.2	was barely off the ground, It used to be called,
0:22.6	what does the Bible actually say? Remember those days? Most of you don't. I used to do a 15-minute
0:29.6	program that used to be on Christian radio, 15-minute program Monday through Friday, 215 in Boise, Idaho, Christian Radio,
0:39.9	called What Does the Bible Actually Say, where I would challenge some commonly held
0:43.7	misconceptions about what the Bible says. It doesn't say. We did that for a couple of years.
0:48.1	That morphed into a podcast. I left the Christian radio station or got left from the Christian radio station and ended up
0:57.3	focusing just on the podcast version of that 15 minute radio show. And that morphed into a
1:04.7	half hour weekly podcast where I would kind of, I don't know, what did I do? I think it did lots of like
1:11.0	Q&A or just kind of random thoughts. And then I started having guests on. The show has got

1:20.7	And then several years later, here we are. So I wanted to give an update on the podcast. Look
1:26.1	back at this past year and look forward to the coming year in 2026. I think it's going to be a great year. That's what we're supposed to say, right? It's going to be a great year, as if I know. It could be a terrible year. It could be 2020, 2020 all over again. Who knows? Anyway, it doesn't matter. We're Christians. Our hope is in Jesus. and in the end, we will be raised from the dead and
1:45.4	reign with Jesus in glory and the new creation. So the mission of Theology and Arra, the theology
1:51.5	of Rha, theology of Rha podcast aims to help believers think Christianly about theological and
1:56.0	cultural issues by engaging in curious conversations. That's a key word.
2:02.0	You'll hear me talk about that a lot.
2:03.4	Curious conversations with a diverse range of thoughtful people.
2:08.6	Not people I necessarily agree with.
2:12.4	Not people I bring on to debate.
