  • Frank Schaeffer Found Happiness by Falling in Love, Having Children, Staying Put and Saving the Planet
    Today’s guest is special. He is the Hank Williams Jr. of 20th Century Theology, though I know he will hate that description. He brings a message of hope, love and more, and he is a wonderful man and I am so pleased he joined me on the podcast.   His honesty is refreshing and I hope we get together again. His latest book is: “Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy.”

  • Natalie Wigg Stevenson is the Best Kind of Theologian
    Welcome to the Thinking God Podcast, a place where we talk about truth wisdom wherever it might be found, and today’s guest is a shining light of hope. Natalie Wigg Stevenson is my favorite kind of theologian. She combines the best of scholarly approach with a lively curiosity and warm personality to make challenging approaches to faith accessible. Her book “Transgressive Devotion: Theology as Performance Art,” asks the reader to stop trying to define or describe God and instead experience making God manifest and accessible in a very real way, a prayer that takes us into and out of the unknowing. She also embraces all of her personal spiritual experiences from her Pentecostal roots to her own fresh transformational mysticism with deep roots in theological tradition. Natalie, who has a Master’s degrees and PhD from Vanderbilt and  a MDiv from Yale Divinity School, is a professor of contextual education and theology at Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto. Her vibe is really fine.

  • Austin Carty Sees a Commitment to Reading as a Path to Connection and Ministry
    Christian Pastor Austin Carty, latest book, “The Pastors’ Bookshelf: Why Reading Matters in Ministry,” aims to get Christian pastors, and hopefully through osmosis and encouragement their congregations, to begin a long love affair with reading. His passion for books and reading, and how it can benefit the face-to-face pastoral work and just helping humans in general become more fully actualized, are obvious. Carty is pastor of Boulevard Baptist Church, affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and this conversation could have extended for hours, due to our mutual passion for books and reading.

  • Maggie Rowe’s Path to Redemption on Easy Street
    The Marvelous Maggie Rowe is  a Los Angeles-based writer who has written for such shows as “Arrested Development” and one of my favorites, the wildly underrated Netflix series “Flaked.”  She’s also a screenwriter, a producer, an actress and author who has been on this podcast before after the publication of her first book “Sin Bravely.” Maggie now makes her triumphal return to the Thinking God podcast, to talk about her new book “Easy Street: A Story of Redemption from Myself,” and is, as always, delightful, warm and entertaining.
