Wisdom, she's timelessOne of the labels that's given to the Bible is "wisdom text". And it's this idea that the purpose of the text isn't a straightforward reading and direct application, rather that the point of the text is to wrestle with it, challenge it, disagree, bring it into conversation with others, understanding that it's in that process that you might learn some really helpful wisdom! Hopefully this is a helpful tool to approach the Bible knowing you can still bring your questions, concerns, and even hurt, and to see the helpful parts of it, even behind all the non-helpful ones.2022-08-1721 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastBonus Episode: Why the Bible with guest Mike SaouAs a part of the Why the Bible series of conversations, we'll be having some bonus episodes for people to share their experience with the Bible and how that's changed over the course of their life.

Storytelling and StorytellersThis is part of a series where we are dialoguing around the question, why the Bible? Because for many the Bible is a crucial text, for others it's useless, or even harmful. And yet it's full of good parts, even in the midst of the ugly. It's a library full of stories, told by storytellers, trying to process and understand the sacred, what it means to be human, and how to live a fulfilling life. So what does the nature of storytelling tell us about how we might approach the Bible?2022-08-1121 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastGoing Off Script (w/ Amy O'Hare)Many of us are handed scripts for what a "good life" should look like.

At various times in our lives we find ourselves somewhere between despair, and optimistic hope. Hope can sometimes seem like the easy fix to a complex thing. And in that sense, it's not so helpful. But hope can also be crucial for life. May this conversation give you some things to think about, that are helpful on your journey of life.  2022-07-2728 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastOrthopraxy vs. OrthodoxyThere seems to be a relationship, or even a tension, between two things: belief and practice. We see this relationship play out in the Christian tradition, but it's not just relegated to that. Because even if we aren't a part of any religious tradition, we all are shaped by beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Hopefully this content helps you navigate how those two things play out in your life, so you can live an authentic life. 2022-07-2020 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastThe SacredMany of us at some point may have been given very clear ideas of what is sacred, and what is secular. And that dichotomy may have been helpful for us, especially in the beginning of our journeys, so that we could know what to look for and what to be inspired by. But at some point it may have ceased to be as helpful. In this conversation we analyze some more helpful ways to understand the sacred that may just change how we live our everyday lives!2022-07-1429 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastSpiritual Practices (w/ guest Josh Wise)In this episode, Fabian and Josh discuss how their spiritual practices have changed throughout their faith journeys. At times, spiritual practices can feel forced or rigid. At their best, they help us become integrated, whole, at peace, and joyful. Through this conversation, hopefully you gain some tools to incorporate some spiritual practices into your life that are helpful for you.2022-07-0346 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastAtonement Theories: "The Invitation to Live Today"Continuing the series on deconstructing, in this episode we dive into the various ways that the death and resurrection of Jesus has been talked about, and the invitation that it might offer to us. If you've ever felt uncomfortable with the idea that God needed to punish someone for sin, there are alternative ways to think about it that don't make God punitive, and that are much more life-giving than the angry punishing God version. Hopefully those other ways help you gain some insight and wisdom that is helpful for your journey!2022-07-0129 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastDeconstructing: What's the Deal with the Sin thing?

The hope is that this content gives you the tools to brew your own life-giving spirituality!2022-06-2253 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastDeconstructing: The Whole Part About GatheringFor many, church has been a place of healing, growth, and meaning making.

Sometimes church is the place where we feel like we have to hide our most authentic selves, put on a front, so that we can fit into the norms. But a faith community should be the complete opposite of that, it should be a place where people can be their most authentic selves, to be honest with others who will walk with them.

For some, you grew up with an egalitarian perspective. For others, a complementarian perspective. But in general we live in a patriarchal society, and the church is patriarchal. Which can lead to certain voices, especially the voices of women, to become marginalized and for women to be denied opportunities. What if there's a whole other way to think about it? And what if we can use the very same text that is used to marginalize women, to tell a different story?2022-06-0120 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastDeconstructing: PrayerFor many people, prayer has become an anxiety-ridden practice. At some point along the way someone may have told you you weren’t praying enough, or the “right” way and it has turned the entire process into one that leaves you more on-edge than at peace. In this episode, you are invited to think about prayer in a different way. Maybe a way that is more life-giving, ancient, and cross-cultural. Hope it brings you something useful or new ideas!2022-05-2627 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastDeconstructing: BibleThe Bible is daunting for some people. It's full of violence and contradictions. It might seem ancient and outdated. And yet it contains deep wisdom, meaning-making narratives that inspire and challenge. And even deep truths that humans have discovered and tried to pass on. In this episode, as a part of our series of unpacking and deconstructing big topics in the Christian faith, Josh Wise talks a bit about his journey through understanding how to engage the Bible. 2022-05-1842 minbrewCHURCH podcastbrewCHURCH podcastQuestionsAt some point in our lives we might have been conditioned to think that questions are always supposed to have answers. We might have been robbed of curiosity. Or we may have been taught that life is mostly black and white. In spirituality, we may even have been taught that questions, doubting, or skepticism are all wrong. But what if questions and doubt are part of what it means to be human, and may even lead us to a more authentic life?2022-05-1120 min
