  • Atheism and Agnosticism - Is God Always the Answer? - 199

    Atheism and Agnosticism - Is God Always the Answer? - 199
    Apr 5 2022
    One thing that tends to get left out of many conversations on deconstruction is atheism and agnosticism. Why is this? Even when it is brought up, it is rarely spoken of as an ending point. Why is that? Can our deconstruction lead us to atheism and agnosticism? Is that ‘okay’? Spoilers, we think it is. In this episode the Irenicast hosts discuss the important space atheism and agnosticism hold for so many on their journeys. Perhaps what we believe is less important than how we hold those beliefs. Fundamentalism can rear its ugly head in any ideology, god or no god. And in the spirit of irony, the hosts close out the episode by sharing the Top 3 things they are against. And in Irenicast fashion, not all of the hosts understand the assignment.

  • War and Christianity - Striving for Co-Flourishing - 198

    War and Christianity - Striving for Co-Flourishing - 198
    Mar 15 2022
    War and Christianity are certainly not strangers.  In fact, they seem pretty friendly many of the times.  In this episode Bonnie, Rajeev and Jeff discuss the complicated history of war and Christianity.  A discussion that seems especially timely considering the current invasion of Ukraine. The conversation starts by acknowledging the ample examples of divine mandated war in our religious text.  To which, the wide path of Biblical interpretations has come up with many theological ‘theories’ on war and peace.  Bonnie specifically lays out a great overview of the history of the peace movement in America from her studies to lay the foundation for the remainder of the episode. After sharing a little about their journeys through their thoughts and beliefs about war, the discussion delves deeper into pacifism.  There soon seems to be a quick distinction between theory and reality.  Struggling with questions like: What amount of privilege has led to your thoughts on war and peace?  What does pacifism and non-violence look like on the ground when it is no longer a thought exercise?  Are there moral absolutes when discussing war and violence?  Is there movement on the spectrum of violence and oppression and peace and pacifism? And speaking of things that are better in theory, we introduce a new segment called Connect the Dots to close the episode.  Conversation on War and Christianity (02:44)Connect the Dots Segment (42:33) ANNOUNCEMENTS Sign Up for our Email list HERE and stay up to date on all things Irenicast!

  • Queer Legacy - Spirit and Calling - 197

    Queer Legacy - Spirit and Calling - 197
    Mar 1 2022
    In this episode on queer legacy, Casey shares a recent revelation from a queer history class he has been taking.  He shares the history of the term two-spirit.  A term used by some to describe Indigenous North American people who fulfilled a traditional third-gender ceremonial and social role in their cultures.  As someone who is both queer and has Indigenous ancestry Casey expressed his deep sense of validation in his pastoral calling. Casey also takes this revelation and challenges us to take a new look at calling and purpose.  This shifts the conversation into challenging the ideas we’ve been given about calling and purpose.  Is calling for the few and capable or for all?  Is it something that happens to us or something we live into? The episode ends with a fun couple of rounds of Jesus Juke.  Listen to the end to find out just what it means to be a ‘Hot Tub Christian’.   Conversation on Queer Legacy (03:49) Jesus Juke Segment (36:59) ANNOUNCEMENTS Sign Up for our Email list HERE and stay up to date on all things Irenicast!

    Eschatology and Process Theology - A Conversation with Dr. Thomas Oord - 196
    Feb 15 2022
    How do Eschatology and Process Theology fit together?  This week we try and answer that question by sitting down with Dr. Thomas Jay Oord.  Dr. Oord is an expert on Process Theology, also known as Open and Relational Theology. Many days it feels as though the end of the world is upon us.  This is even true for people across the proverbial aisle.  Although for much different reasons.  In this conversation we explore endings through a Process Theology lens. Will things get better?  Will there be an ultimate ending?  What is God’s role, or lack thereof, in endings?  Listen and find out what Dr. Oord and the Irencast team have to say about Eschatology and Process Theology.

  • The Problem with Patriarchal Christianity - Let Go and Let Others - 195

    The Problem with Patriarchal Christianity - Let Go and Let Others - 195
    Feb 1 2022
    The problem with patriarchal Christianity may seem obvious to many listeners of Irenicast.  It is no surprise to us that patriarchy has done perhaps irrevocable damage to not just Christianity, but the nation as well.  We are seeing the ripples of that sad truth on every level in society. In this episode, three beneficiaries of the the f**ked up system we’ve come to know and loathe discuss ways we can lay aside our privilege to make room for others to lead.  It is not an easy task, and sometimes it seems like it is too little too late.  However, as Rajeev points out, there is still some hope left.  Is it enough to make a difference? And for our segment this week, Casey introduces the team to a new one called Bunker Buddies.  Since most days feel like the end of the world is here, we figure we would lean into it and share the items we would bring to the Irenicast bunker to wait out the apocalypse.
