In this episode, we'll explore the differences between masculine &amp; feminine cultures and the differences between cultures that avoid uncertainty and those that embrace it.

Mind Software: How Culture Programs Your Values (Part 2)

What is behind political Left vs Right cultural divide in America? Why do some people become convinced by conspiracies? Why do some march in Black Lives Matter protests while others fly Blue Lives Matter flags in their yards? Have you ever visited a foreign country and been completely shocked at how different the cultural values and behaviors were?  In this two-part miniseries, we'll explore how culture acts as software for our minds, shaping our perceptions of reality, and programming our values and behaviors. We’ll compare cultural values on the macro-national level, as well as look at how local cultures and sub-cultures like church communities develop unique values and attempt to interface with the larger cultural values of their nation. Are there American cultural values that are at odds with the values of Jesus’ “Kingdom of God” culture?  How would we even see that if our culture shapes our perceptions of reality?  To attempt to answer these questions, we'll be using the groundbreaking research of the 20th-century Dutch social psychologist Geert Hofstede. Hofstede's initial research into the four dimensions of culture will be an absolutely transformative tool for helping you understand the world, your own upbringing, church community or religious experiences, and the divisive cultural moment we are living in.

John Mark McMillan

John Mark McMillan is a platinum-selling songwriter and artist from Charlotte, North Carolina.  https://www.johnmarkmcmillan.com/   In today's episode, I continue exploring with John Mark many of the themes and questions surrounding the formative power of "hunter-hero" myths that I discussed in the previous episode with Dr. Chris Green.

John Mark McMillan Wrestles with Our Violent Heroes (Part 1)

Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning-Making is a podcast dedicated to exploring the integral relationship between theology and all of our efforts to find and make meaning in the world. Fostering nuanced, non-combative dialogue about theology and culture, science, the arts and entertainment, and philosophy within a broad, historic Christian perspective.

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast, every episode brings us things we should all think about!

Thought provoking

Great

Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning Making

Evangelical Christians in the U.S. have had a contentious relationship with science in recent history. But is the "war between faith and science" really necessary? Is there really even a war? In this series, we'll explore questions like: -Can I reconcile modern geology and biology with the book of Genesis? -What does it mean to read the Bible "literally" and have I really been reading the Bible the right way? -Is there a global bias among scientists against Christianity? -Is there such a thing as "theology-less" science? -Do I really have to choose between Darwin or Jesus? In this first episode, Paul will share a bit of his own journey growing up as a Young Earth creationist and explore why learning how to take Biblical inspiration seriously might radically change the way you answer these questions.

What is and isn't going on in this book? <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-talks-exploring-theology-and-meaning-making/id1401730159" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">To Subscribe on Apple Podcasts:</a> <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-talks-exploring-theology-and-meaning-making/id1401730159" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-talks-exploring-theology-and-meaning-making/id1401730159</a> To become a Deep Talks Patreon member and support this podcast go to: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast</a> Connect on with Paul Anleitner on Twitter at: <a href="https://twitter.com/PaulAnleitner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/PaulAnleitner</a> Major references/works cited in this episode: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Understandings-Evil-Historical-Trajectory/dp/1451484550/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=charlene+p.e.+burns&amp;qid=1570420228&amp;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Understandings-Evil-Historical-Trajectory/dp/1451484550/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=charlene+p.e.+burns&amp;qid=1570420228&amp;sr=8-1</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-Read-Job-ebook/dp/B017J89YZW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=how+to+read+job&amp;qid=1570420568&amp;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/How-Read-Job-ebook/dp/B017J89YZW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=how+to+read+job&amp;qid=1570420568&amp;sr=8-1</a>

Ep 41: The Problem of Evil (Part 1)- Intro & Job

Christians make unique claims not only about Jesus being the Son of God, the Savior of the World, fully God and fully human, etc but they also hold to the unique belief that Jesus is the supreme example for how we are to live in the world. If this is true, why are there such diverse opinions among Christians about how we are to live in the world? In America alone, you bump into MAGA/Trump-loving Christians and Woke Progressive Christians with preferred pronouns. How can this be?  At least one factor that contributes to this, is an easy Bible-reading mistake that gives people an imaginary Jesus instead of the Jesus of the Gospels. It's a simple mistake I made for years too, but I think there's a better way.

Ep 54: An Easy Bible Mistake That Keeps Us From Seeing Jesus

Christian Nazis

Did you have to listen to D.C. Talk growing up because your church didn't let you listen to Nirvana? Why do some churches hang gay pride flags in front of their building while other churches preach that homosexuality is a sin? Did the author of John's Gospel do something wrong when he borrowed an idea from Greek philosophy and applied it to Christ? How could German Christians in the 1930s ever become Nazis?  Answering these kinds of questions requires us to answer even deeper questions- how should Christians relate to their surrounding culture? Where can Christ be found in culture? Can He be found there at all?Theology of culture is a relatively new theological discipline and if you've never explored it before you might not think it's that big of a deal, but I promise you that it's actually one of the most important areas of theology that you'll ever explore. What you believe about this affects the music and entertainment choices you make, who you'll marry and how you'll raise your kids; it affects your views on science and morality, the church you choose to attend, and even your political perspective.  From D.C. Talk to Christian Nazis, we'll explore it all!

Ep 27: Christ & Culture- From Jesus Freaks to Christian Nazis (Part 1)

Is it possible that we've completely misunderstood the Apostle Paul...and perhaps even the entire Bible as a result? What do these ideas like "faith and works" or "grace vs. the Law" really mean? Did even Martin Luther and John Calvin misunderstand them?Our guest in today's conversation is Dr. Matthew J. Thomas. Matthew has Doctor of Philosophy in Theology from the University of Oxford and is an expert in New Testament and early church history. He's written a book that Scott McKnight awarded as one the top 3 theology books of 2018 entitled "Paul's Works of The Law in the Perspective of Second Century Reception." He's taught at St. Patrick's Seminary, Franciscan University, and Regent College.

Ep 16: Dr. Matthew J. Thomas  conversation/ Faith vs Works? Grace vs Law? Have we completely misunderstood the Apostle Paul?

The "afterlife" is one of the most misunderstood topics in all the Bible. In today's episode, we'll explore the afterlife terminology of the Bible and address some of the common misconceptions most people have about what these words mean. We'll try to understand the original context and culture of the Scriptures and see how different the original audience would have understood stories like the parable of "Lazarus and the rich man" or Jesus' warnings about the fires of "hell" compared to our common modern interpretations of those texts.  This is stuff no one had clearly explained to me in decades of going to church!  We'll also cover: -the influence of books written in between the Old Testament and New Testament on the worldview of 1st-century people -the Biblical connection between the fall of angels and Greek myths about the Titans -How it can make total sense for Jesus to tell the thief on the cross that "today" he'd be with Him in "paradise" and yet tell Mary Magdelene after the Resurrection that He hadn't gone to his Father in heaven yet and much more!

Ep 26: The Afterlife- What Does It Really Say in the Bible?

In the second part of our series exploring issues relating to theology and science, we dive deep into chapter one of the book of Genesis. Some have searched Genesis 1 to find answers to questions about the age of the earth or have looked to this story for scientific descriptions of the origins of creation, while others feeling faced with what they presume to be an either/or choice between science and Genesis 1 have simply discarded the Biblical text as irrelevant. But what if we're asking all the wrong questions of the story? What if God's inspired intentions for the story reveals something far more profound?

Ep 40: John Mark McMillan - Finding God in the Transcendent & the Immanent

In part 3 of our series exploring issues relating to science and the Christian faith, we analyze Genesis 2-3 and explore common misunderstandings of this creation story and tackle some questions that have perplexed many Christians such as:  Is the one called "Adam" in this story the first and only human being on the planet?   Was everything on earth perfect, free of evil, with no animals even eating other animals until Adam &amp; Eve messed it up?  How would the ancient Israelites, to whom this story is written, have understood Adam and Eve, the garden, cosmic trees and talking snakes?

Ep 6: Darwin, The Bible, Science &amp; Theology (Part 3- Genesis 2-3)

This is part 2 of an extended series exploring the problem of evil.   In today's episode, we'll explore perspectives contained in the Old Testament and New Testament for why there is evil and suffering the world and how to respond. We'll examine several possibilities for why there seems to be a stark contrast between the Old Testament &amp; New Testament on who causes these things. We'll also explore books written between the Old &amp; New Testament found in the Dead Sea Scrolls which were important in Jewish thought in the 1st Century and may give us clues as to how the worldview of New Testament authors seems so different in many regards compared to the Old Testament authors. These wild intertestamental stories tell of fallen angels, Nephilim giants, Satan, final judgement, and the deception of humanity.

Jordan Peterson

Paul Vander Klay was a simple pastor of a small church in California. Now he's considered the pastor of the Intellectual Dark Web. His Youtube talks about Jordan Peterson, Christian theology, and what's happening in our present-day meaning-crisis started drawing tens of thousands of views, and even garnered the attention of Jordan Peterson himself who came on Paul's program to talk about these deep ideas.  In our conversation together, we discuss the rise of the Jordan Peterson phenomenon, why people are so desperately searching for meaning in America today, the "Intellectual Dark Web", and a whole bunch of theological ideas! You can check out Paul Vanderklay's Youtube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGsDIP_K6J6VSTqlq-9IPlg  You can also listen to audio only versions of his program at: https://paulvanderklay.podbean.com/   To support Deep Talks: Exploring Theology &amp; Meaning-Making and the other video content I'm creating on YouTube, become a patron support on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast   To Subscribe to Deep Talks on Youtube with exclusive video content go to: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2yCyOMUeem-cYwliC-tLJg   To subscribe on iTunes/Apple go to: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-talks-exploring-theology-and-meaning-making/id1401730159

Ep 18: Paul Vander Klay Conversation / Jordan Peterson, Theological Dark Web

Jim Stump

Do you have questions about the theological compatibility of the Christian message with evolutionary science?   Dr. Jim Stump is the Vice President of BioLogos, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping "the church and the world to see the harmony between science and biblical faith as we present an evolutionary understanding of God’s creation."  In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jim Stump about the common theological questions people have about "evolutionary creationism." Some of these questions include: - What is evolutionary creationism, and why do the people at BioLogos believe it to be true? -If the death of plants, animals, and even human species have been going on long before any sort of historical Adam or Eve, then when was creation ever good?  -Were Neanderthals "image bearers"? What makes human's unique made in the image of God?  -Did Satan corrupt the process of evolution, or is this what God really intended?

Do you have questions about the theological compatibility of the Christian message with evolutionary science? Dr. Jim Stump is the Vice President of BioLogos, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping "the church and the world to see the harmony between science and biblical faith as we present an evolutionary understanding of God’s creation." In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jim Stump about the common theological questions people have about "evolutionary creationism." Some of these questions include: - What is evolutionary creationism, and why do the people at BioLogos believe it to be true? -If the death of plants, animals, and even human species have been going on long before any sort of historical Adam or Eve, then when was creation ever good? -Were Neanderthals "image bearers"? What makes human's unique made in the image of God? -Did Satan corrupt the process of evolution, or is this what God really intended? Plus many more questions! -At what point was God's creation ever really "good" if we had death, violence, and cataclysmic events that killed most living things in the past?

Ep 32: Dr. Jim Stump, VP of BioLogos- Evolutionary Creationism?

Many people report to having dreams that have accurately predicted the future or given them insights into situations they should have no natural knowledge of. I've experienced many "prophetic dreams" over the course of my life, so this subject has always fascinated me. In today's episode we will explore: - some of the biblical precedents for prophetic dreams throughout the Scriptures - the science of dreaming, ranging from early psychological theories from Sigmund Freud &amp; Carl Jung to the discoveries of more recent empirical scientific research -Christian theories on the nature of consciousness and how this may help us understand prophetic dreaming Consider becoming a patron by supporting Deep Talks: Exploring Theology &amp; Meaning-Making on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast  You can subscribe on Apple Podcasts at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-talks-exploring-theology-and-meaning-making/id1401730159 Subscribe to the Deep Talks YouTube page for exclusive video content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2yCyOMUeem-cYwliC-tLJg

Ep 34- Faith Deconstruction & Why It May Be Scientifically Normal

In part 3 of "The Problem of Evil", we'll explore the first two centuries of church history where Gnosticism and Marcionism provided a challenging alternative to genuine Christianity. One of the significant appeals of these movements was how they answered the problem of evil and explained the causations for suffering. In the face of these challenges and the threat of martyrdom, early church leaders like Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus provided crucial responses to these challenges and key insights into how early Christians understood the root causes of evil and unjust suffering.

Ep 43: The Problem of Evil (Part 3)-  The Gnostic Matrix & the Early Church Fathers

Andy Squyres

In our first interview of 2019, Paul talks with singer-songwriter Andy Squyres about what happens when our particular set of beliefs and experiences within our unique "stream" of faith brush up against suffering or doubt and create questions that we don't have easy answers for.  In this conversation, Andy also shares about his unique upbringing in Charismatic churches, why he thinks the Church is the best place to wrestle with God, and why we need room for honest lament to stay spiritually healthy.  Andy's 2015 album Cherry Blossoms was widely acclaimed as one of the best singer-songwriter records of the year beautifully capturing the joys, sorrows, pain, and hope that comes with any authentic journey of Christian faith.  Not only is he a songwriter, but he is also a pastor in Charlotte, North Carolina where he and his wife Amy and their six children reside. He has a new record in the works, scheduled to be released later this year.  Paul and Andy's long form discussion is presented in its entirety, unedited, after a brief introduction. All music in today's episode comes from his 2015  Cherry Blossoms release.  Enjoy! Thanks for subscribing, rating/reviewing, and leaving your feedback on the discussion!you can find out more about Andy and listen to his music on: Spotify  Twitter

Ep 10: Conversation with Andy Squyres / Wrestling with God &amp; Sticking with the Church

In part four of The Problem of Evil, we continue on in church history into the 3rd Century where we'll explore how controversial theologians Tertullian and Origen attempted to address the problem of evil. Plus we'll take a look at one of the most important Greek philosophers of that era- Plotinus.  How does Tertullian attempt to reconcile the seemingly different explanations in the Old Testament and New Testament for the causes of evil and suffering? What made Origen's theodicy so controversial? How might it be similar and different to his philosophical contemporary, Plotinus?   What if evil doesn't actually exist?

Ep 44: The Problem of Evil (Part 4)- Third Century Theodicies (Tertullian, Plotinus, Origen)

Today's episode comes from a conversation I had with Paul Vander Klay for his YouTube Channel and Podcast. I first had Vander Klay on my podcast back in Episode 18, and he wanted to bring me on his program to discuss possible insights from my background and experiences into the "meaning-crisis." It's a subject we are both passionate about helping others navigate thru.  Vander Klay somehow pulled out of me some stories about my experiences deep in the Charismatic &amp; Pentecostal tradition that I've never publicly talked about before. I talk with him about growing up in Benny Hinn meetings, revivals breaking out in my small Christian school, journeys in the 24-7 prayer movement, &amp; strange Charismatic phenomenon I've seen like gold dust and people behaving as if they were "drunk in the Spirit."  Being a Dutch Reformed pastor, he was fascinated by all this :)   Plus: what does it mean to experience or commune with God? Can we say certain things are not valid ways of experience God? What's the difference between the Eucharist and eating bread and wine at Olive Garden? How has the Jordan Peterson phenomenon opened people up to these sorts of questions again? (this is an area of expertise for Paul Vanderklay)   There is also a video of this conversation available at: https://youtu.be/2CIeSrEW0Tc Find out more about Paul Vanderklay at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGsDIP_K6J6VSTqlq-9IPlg THIS PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE DEEP TALKS PATREON COMMUNITY!
