  • God's Not Your Keys: Why Searching for God Doesn't Work

    God's Not Your Keys: Why Searching for God Doesn't Work
    13 Nov 2026
    Half the email on the planet went down this week, which means Bo never got the listener questions. So we did what we do best and talked about whatever was in our pockets. Bo's wife and dog are back in the house after six months, he's showering daily, and he turned an old church stage into a bike showroom with a hand-painted Idaho sunset. I'm just back from Villanova, where 15 nuns told me they love the podcast (one listens with an earbud in while she works and is afraid of getting caught) and Jack Caputo showed up to dinner with questions about part four of Process and Reality. The heart of this one is Byung-Chul Han's new book, Speaking About God, a book-length dialogue with Simone Weil that I read the day it came out. His thesis flips the script on the death of God. The problem isn't that God became unavailable to us. We built a world, and a kind of human being, that is no longer available to God. Attention, silence, beauty, pain, inactivity: every wisdom tradition trained those capacities, and we're letting them atrophy. Bo, a self-described descendant of the death-of-God theologians, says it turns his whole lineage on its head. We also get into orcs and Augustine, our favorite podcasts, why the guys at my cigar lounge are asking what a mainline Protestant is, and the 60 Minutes interview where Trump told Ross Douthat he couldn't forgive his enemies even in heaven. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Mentioned in this episode The book: Byung-Chul Han, Speaking About God: A Dialogue with Simone Weil. Chapters on attention, decreation, emptiness, silence, beauty, pain, and inactivity. We may read it together in the new year. Support Bo's bike ministry: paypal.me/freeforallbikes.

  • Why Pastors Won: Talarico, Hamilton, and the Mainline Moment + a bunch of your questions

    Why Pastors Won: Talarico, Hamilton, and the Mainline Moment + a bunch of your questions
    6 Nov 2026
    Bo showed up with mustard-yellow hands (paint, not nicotine) and a confession: the low-VOC paint in his guest bathroom smells so strong that it seems to supercharge his double IPAs. Then a little post-election processing. Two mainline Protestant pastors are headed to the Senate, I now have email threads with three senators, and Adam on Facebook asked whether Talarico, Hamilton, and company are the right answer to Christian nationalism. My theory: congregational pastors are used to leading people they love on the left side of a 50/50 room, affirming everyone's worth, and staying pragmatic enough not to get shot at. Then your questions. Vicky asked the big one: how do you know a liberationist reading actually comes from scripture and not from the lens you brought to it? Bo walks through Ricoeur's four questions and the politics of the Gerasene demoniac (a Legion, pigs raised for Roman soldiers, and the sea). I bring in the Canaanite woman, who shouldn't exist in the gospels at all. John Augustine asked how to preach the flood without skipping the drowning. Ted, a retired Air Force officer and current Department of War civilian, asked what to make of the centurions in the gospels. That gets us Bonhoeffer at Finkenwalde, Niebuhr's uneasy conscience, and moral injury we all share as taxpayers. Plus capitalism and the prophets, my favorite Lord of the Rings embellishments, and the definitive ranking of Counting Crows songs for an acoustic cover. Support Bo's bike ministry: paypal.me/freeforallbikes Join our Advent class⁠ ⁠Tear Open the Heavens: Advent for Indifferent Strangers⁠ is a four-week online class Andy and I are teaching from Advent 1 (November 29) through Advent 4 (December 20). Lectures: four pre-recorded lectures, two from each of us, each released the week before its Sunday. The first drops Monday, November 16. Live conversations: five 70-minute livestreams at 10am PT / 1pm ET on November 24, December 1, 8, and 15, plus a Christmas Eve session on December 17. We unpack the thinkers and wrestle with that week's lectionary text. Readings and replays: a 30–40 page reading packet each week, a community space, and replays on the class resource page for at least a year. Price: donation-based, including 0. It's timed so you can use it for your small group, Sunday school, or sermon that same week.

  • If You Grick the Lure: Jesus, Salvation, and Divine Self-Investment

    If You Grick the Lure: Jesus, Salvation, and Divine Self-Investment
    30 Oct 2026
    This one comes to you from my backyard in Greensboro, with Ross the rooster crowing us in and a herd of adolescent chicks wandering through the frame. Bo texted before dawn that he had something I'd either love or cringe at. It turned out to be a new street-preacher character: the reverse Westboro, yelling across the park, "Hey! Good news! There's no hell!" His diagnosis is liberal laryngitis. Progressive Christians think they have better news than the fundamentalists, so why do we go so quiet about it? The intro was only 18 minutes this week (growth), and then we finally cleared last week's leftovers. What does it mean to say Jesus saves once you've ditched hell and redemptive violence? I gave the CliffsNotes of Divine Self-Investment, and Bo gave Genesis without a fall. Then: what happens to us after we die, what it looks like to trust God on an ordinary Tuesday, how progressives should worship, and how to find community as a post-evangelical in the Bible Belt. Somewhere in there Bo coined GRIC, the God revealed in Christ, and I used it as a verb. At one hour 36 minutes, Bo declared it the most satisfying full-circle moment we've ever had. He's been waiting 15 years.
