  • Mixing a cocktail of philosophy, theology, and spirituality.

    We're a pastor and a philosopher who have discovered that sometimes pastors need philosophy, and sometimes philosophers need pastors. We tackle topics and interview guests that straddle the divide between our interests.

    Who we are:

    Randy Knie (Co-Host) - Randy is the founding and Lead Pastor of Brew City Church in Milwaukee, WI. Randy loves his family, the Church, cooking, and the sound of his own voice. He drinks boring pilsners.

    Kyle Whitaker (Co-Host) - Kyle is a philosophy PhD and an expert in disagreement and philosophy of religion. Kyle loves his wife, sarcasm, kindness, and making fun of pop psychology. He drinks childish slushy beers.

    Elliot Lund (Producer) - Elliot is a recovering fundamentalist. His favorite people are his wife and three boys, and his favorite things are computers and hamburgers. Elliot loves mixing with a variety of ingredients, including rye, compression, EQ, and bitters.

  • Evolution + Christianity, Part I: An Interview w/Dr. Jim Stump
    2024/09/18

    Text us your questions!

    Are Christianity and evolution compatible? Can a person trust God and trust science at the same time? Jim Stump wrote a book called, "The Sacred Chain: How Understanding Evolution Leads to Deeper Faith", and we are very much here for it.

    In this interview, we chat about the Bible, science, evolution, the soul, afterlife and many other juicy topics. We actually had so much to talk about that we had to make this a two-parter. Stay tuned!

    Cheers!

  • Sarah McCammon on Exvangelicals
    2024/08/23

    Text us your questions!

    Welcome to Season 5!

    We're joined by Sarah McCammon, a National Political Correspondent for NPR and author of The Exvangelicals, an insightful and empathetic look at the stories of those who have left white American evangelicalism. Sarah is also an exvangelical herself, so she has a unique perspective that blends both personal experience and rigorous journalism.

    The Exvangelicals examines the complex dynamics of leaving a faith community that has deeply influenced one's upbringing and worldview and what it means to build a life after.

    In our conversation, we explore how evangelical communities interact with broader American culture and the internal narratives they construct about the world. We also discuss identity, personal transformation, the impact of evangelical teachings on concepts of morality and discipline, the practice of corporal punishment, and the effects of these experiences on parenting and trauma.

    Sarah's dual role as observer and participant brings a nuanced perspective to the discussion and allows her to offer an unusually informed and compassionate look at both the people navigating their way out of evangelical communities and those still inside.

  • The Book of Belonging: An Interview w/ Mariko Clark and Rachel Eleanor
    2024/07/17

    Text us your questions!

    How do we grow and steward our children's spirituality when we've deconstructed so much of the spirituality that we were raised with? And even if we figure that out, how do we guide and encourage our kids on their spiritual journeys when there are so few quality resources and books that don't get all cheesy and cringe? We aren't the only ones asking these questions, are we?

    Mariko Clark and Rachel Eleanor wrote and illustrated The Book of Belonging: Bible Stories for Kind and Contemplative Kids, and it is an absolute treasure. The Book of Belonging is a children's storybook Bible that is told in a way that will expand your kids' (and your own) love for God and humans, drawing them into the story and filling them with wonder, identity, and beauty. The illustrations are absolutely stunning. Also, the creators are fun and hilarious. Buckle up and preorder your copy of The Book of Belonging today.

    To preorder The Book of Belonging, click here.

    To check out the weird art and iconography Rachel mentioned, here you go:

    • Weirdly Buff and Manly Baby Jesus
    • Awkwardly Manly Baby Jesus
    • Baby Jesus with a Six Pack
    • Baby Jesus Breastfeeding
    • And this explainer from Vox: "Why Babies in Medieval Paintings Look like Ugly Old Men"


    You're welcome. Cheers!
