This episode of The Sacred Everywhere podcast and video series features Dr. Tripp Fuller, a theologian, author, and long-time podcaster. Tripp received his PhD in Philosophy, Religion, and Theology at Claremont Graduate University. For almost 16 years Tripp has been doing the Homebrewed Christianity podcast where he interviews different scholars about their work so you can get nerdy in traffic, on the treadmill or doing the dishes. Last year it had over 3.5 million downloads. You can also find it on YouTube.
Homebrewed Christianity also inspired a book series with Fortress Press called the Homebrewed Christianity Guides to… topics like God, Jesus, Spirit, Church History etc. Tripp’s most recent book is Divine Self-Investment: An Open and Relational Constructive Christology.
Tripp is a very committed and (some of his friends think overly) engaged Lakers fan, takes Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very seriously, enjoys coaching his oldest son Elgin’s flag football and basketball team, and prides himself in giving rousing editions of Sandra Boynton tunes during bedtime reading. Tripp and his partner since 18 Alecia have three kids and live in North Carolina.
Here, we have a super collegial conversation that ranges in tone from lighthearted to serious about podcasting, “theology that doesn’t suck” (Homebrewed Christianity’s tagline), the “bifurcation of nature,” Bonheoeffer, Crossan, as well as why what happens at Theology Beer Camp breaks down barriers and welcomes all to the table.
Because our conversation was so fun, I got distracted from watching the time clock, so the first part of this conversation is nearly an hour, while the second part goes about another 40 minutes beyond that. So buckle up and listen in!
