Beer, Conversation, and God. People have been gathering in pubs and public spaces for ages, talking about life, philosophy, faith, and deep questions of meaning. Now we're bringing the conversation to the interwebs. Visit pubtheology.com for more info and to start a gathering of your own. Visit patreon.com/ptlive for more content including pre and post show discussions and interviews with special guests.
Bryan and Ogun coming to you from a pub in Lisbon, Portugal! We discuss whether vegetarianism is biblical, which writers of the Bible were depressed, whether people should be able to live in whatever country they want to, and whether aliens are real. We were together for an episode for the first time in seven years, and had a blast trying some local craft beers. Stay tuned for the bonus music clip…
This week we explore a thought experiment in which everyone in the world has to press a red or blue button. If more than 50% choose blue, everyone survives. If less than 50% choose blue, only those who pressed red survive. What button do you press and why? Bryan and Ogun discuss this, plus long weekends, meeting Jesus, and a church drug scam. What button would you press? Tune in to hear our take!
This week we discuss our go-to snacks! What is yours? Tune in to hear Bryan and Ogun's. We also discuss 'national revival' and whether the US was founded as a Christian nation. We also why uninformed voters are dangerous, and we close by exploring some Hindu principles.
This week we discuss the golden statue of Trump that a pastor declares "is not a golden calf." But isn't it? We also discuss whether we'd rather be very short or very tall, whether there is any person who always does what is right, and what we'd say to a room of college graduates.
Bryan and Ogun discuss new holidays we'd like to create, whether God can read our minds, public Bible reading, the attempted violence at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and life as suffering. Tune in!
We discuss the Gospel according to Pulp Fiction, what makes for the perfect spring day, and why and how we live in bubbles, separated from each other, and what can be done about it, if anything. Tune in!
Bryan and Ogun discuss whether we would fly to the moon, how the views Artemis shared should inspire us, Doubting Thomas and the role of doubt in one's spiritual journey, and whether it's OK to depict a politician as Jesus. Plus, should elected officials be able to threaten genocide with impunity?
It's just Bryan and Ogun this week! We discuss whether one can say "God is tempting me," the difference between Christian and Christlike, why American "exceptionalism" leads to a dangerous mindset, and Palm Sunday. Grab a beverage and tune in!
On our St. Patrick's Day episode, we discuss analogies for the Trinity while Bryan attempts to pour himself a Black and Tan. Is the 3-leaf clover, which St. Patrick used to teach the Trinity, a good example? What are better analogies? We also discuss whether peace can happen through strength, or if there are other paths to peace aside from violence. We also discuss what it looks like to develop a…
