Atheism and Agnosticism - Is God Always the Answer? - 199 59:05

for 3 years siden59:05

59:05

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 58:06

for 3 years siden58:06

58:06

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.

Queer Legacy - Spirit and Calling - 197 46:49

for 3 years siden46:49

46:49

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’.

Eschatology and Process Theology - A Conversation with Dr. Thomas Oord - 196 1:03:58

1:03:58

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 49:18

for 3 years siden49:18

49:18

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.

In this episode Bonnie sits down and has a compelling conversation with Carolyn Baker PhD mostly about her newest book, Confronting Christofascism: Healing the Evangelical Wound . It is no secret that since 2016 the United States has felt as though it is on its last legs as a democracy. Carolyn shares with us many of her perspectives on why that is the case from her book. This conversation includes many of the things we are not supposed to talk about at the dinner table: religion and politics. Specifically the marrying of fascism and a large portion of American Christianity. Carolyn’s revolutionary mindset is on full display when she expands on a terms like religious terrorism and her books namesake, Christofascism.

The generational divide in our country feels massive. With the rise of Gen Z and the sentiment of ‘Okay Boomer’, it doesn't feel as though one generation values the other. If anything, younger generations especially are scapegoated for the direction our culture is taking. In this episode we welcome Selah Cluff and as a member of GenZ to discuss this divide and explore how we might cross it. One of the first places this discussion goes is how each generation views the future and what cultural events define the generations represented. It is a wide road of experiences and events that shapes such diverse outlooks on the world and it’s future. You won’t want to miss out on this conversation. And finally in an exercise of relevance, Selah quizzes the Irenicast hosts on current Gen Z slang. Find out which of the Irenicast team is in the know and who is stuck in a moment.

Rebirthing Christmas - Virgin Mary Smashes the Patriarchy - 192 1:08:48

1:08:48

In Episode 192 Rebirthing Christmas - Virgin Mary Smashes the Patriarchy, Bonnie, Casey, Jeff, and Rajeev, discuss a broad range of feminist perspectives on Mary the mother of Jesus and virginity. Did ancient communities understand the concept of virginity through the lens of purity culture or did they hold a more sophisticated understanding of feminine power? We leaned towards the latter. The Magnificat by Mary in the Gospel of Luke is discussed with great interest and reverence. It is a most powerful passage that is often omitted from most liturgies. The conversation explores the fleshy, lived, experiences of women who have given birth, breastfed, and managed to carve out a place for themselves and their children in a patriarchal world. Ultimately we recognize the concept of virginity is a broad array of ideas and representative of feminine power that toxic-patriarchy has worked to suppress and control. The segment “Don’t Yuck My Yum” devolves into some gross recipe’s that will surely taint your views on every host. And, twizzlers, have holes in them and someone owes someone some packs…juss-sayin.

What is love? In this episode each host attempts to provide their definition of what they think love is. It quickly becomes apparent that the concept of love is more difficult to pin down than expected. Is love a feeling? Is love an action? Or is love where in between?

What is Hope? - Gratitude and Wonder - 190 55:35

55:35

What is hope? Christianity is filled with buzz words that we can easily take for granted or turn into catch phrases. In this episode the hosts discuss one of those words, hope. Hope can mean a lot of different things for different people. It can also feel like a concept that is slowly fading from view in the current world we live in. Each host shares their current definition of hope. This leads to a short detour into a discussion on hope’s connection to the afterlife. Given the hosts' evangelical pasts this is an important elephant in the room to acknowledge before a fuller view of hope can be obtained. The conversation eventually shifts to some of the more crucial elements in obtaining hope. Wonder and gratitude quickly enter the mix as strong foundations for hope. The episode ends with a new segment from the mind of Rajeev. The segment is called Buddy Bingo. Get to know the Irenicast hosts better by learning a few of their ticks and consistencies in personality and most used catch phrases. The process will 100 percent be worth it honey.

What is Faith? Bonnie, Jeff, Casey, and Rajeev share perspectives that are found just beyond the edge of clarity - “objects” are visible but there is little certainty about what those objects might be. After all, faith is murky and shifty. As the crew discusses the evolution of their personal faith journeys they confront each other by what is meant by faith and how the misunderstanding and misuse of the term has caused a lot of confusion within, and between, people. The hosts delve into the realities, and tensions, of whether faith is a personal thing, a communal thing, neither, or both. True to the Irenicast way - you may have to decide this for yourself. After a winding and personal conversation on faith, the team finishes off this episode with a round of “Faith Songs.” Brace yourself for some cringes, some “oh yea, that’s my jam,” and “oh, hell to the no.” And - if you are up for it, the hosts would love to hear your definition, understanding, experience, of faith.

In Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part Six the co-hosts explore the diversity of what community can be: quilting club, birdwatchers, family-groups (biological or chosen), faith community, and so many more. While there is agreement that what a community looks like can vary greatly, the hosts have differing thoughts on the importance of belonging, responsibility, and duty. Ultimately there is a recognition that there is no singular way to integrate past connections, present realities, and future possibilities, when it comes to community - but it is important work to do. In the segment, Two Truths and a Lie, we learn a little about the past lives of the community involvements of each host. In the process we learn who is the best at lying. Spoiler alert, it’s Jeff.
