Char and Byron take some time to dig into the theology of the Christian Sacraments, specifically the Eucharist, Communion. What is the history and theology behind it? What are the necessary features? Who can take it?
Our synopsis on the episode on Ash Wednesday and Lent.
Byron and Char in the middle of lent take a step back to Ash Wednesday and the disciplines of fasting and devotion. Join us as we explore our experiences and theologies of the quiet time before Easter.
Karl Barth is a major figure in Reformed Theology. People talk about him a lot and Byron took a class on him recently. Take a listen to hear some basics of what he was all about.
Char and Byron tackle one of the biggest questions in theology, the problem of evil. There are a few good answers, a few bad ones, and at the end of the day maybe no answer will completely satisfy this heart-rending conundrum. Why is there evil in the world? Does God allow it? Does everything happen for a reason? Join us to find out!
Who and what IS Satan? How does what we believe about Satan or the devil affect what we think about God? What actually is Satanism? Join us as we delve into some of these important and fascinating questions and more!
Byron and Char have both been very involved in youth ministry for a while. Listen today as we discuss some of our own background and thoughts on what makes youth ministry great, and some things that don't work well. Special shoutout to Scott Gronholz from https://tinyurl.com/nosmallthing
If you've been a long-time follower of B2E, you know that the image of God is frequently an important reference point for our theology. Here, we break down the question specifically: what does it mean to be made in the image of God? Join us for this deeply important pondering.
It may seem an odd thing to wonder - why does it matter what our bodies are like after we die? But these questions have tremendous implications for the nature of God and the nature of God's creation, what is considered "whole" or "good." If those questions tickle your fancy, join us for an hour of deep talks!
In an earlier season, we recorded an episode on the spiritual significance of shame. In this episode, Byron and Char explore the unique nature of sexual shame and its impact on our freedom.
All theology is contextual. Our contexts lend us unique richness to experiencing the Divine. Join us as Char shares how their theology has been shaped by their identity as an identical twin - the first published geminist theology.
Join us in this week’s exciting episode where we talk about atonement - various theories, important cultural imagery, and the question of what actually happened, spiritually speaking. Stay tuned in for the exciting epiphany towards the end! (An edit - Char gets entropy backwards; high entropy is great disorder, not order.)
Love is a quintessential pillar of Christian faith and living. But what does that love look like practically? What is Christian community, and what does it require of us? Join us as we explore these vital questions.
In this exciting episode, Byron and Char explore a Rohrian notion of the Trinity (who was in turn inspired by Augustine) -- God as formlessness, form, and the relationship between -- with special emphasis on the Holy Spirit as the most under-explored member of the Trinity.
Byron explains what he did all summer working with incarcerated teenagers for a chaplaincy internship. Some interesting lessons and interactions in the face of pretty tough circumstances.
Char and Byron touch on the idea of Age, youth, and maturity. Join us as we ask some questions: What is Wisdom, does it invariably come with age, what does Jesus mean when He says to be like a child, how might Jesus have related to the idea of coming to an end, and is it the fact that we have an end at all that gives this all meaning?
Byron and Char try to wrap up a semester of thoughts from Byron's Philosophy of Education course. What IS a philosophy of education? Why do we need them? Why can't we avoid them? We look at some benefits and limitations of Existentialism, the theology of Martin Buber, and more.
Char and Byron delve into the theological implications and meanings behind nakedness, King David, shame, Adam and Eve, the Naked Church, we cover (or uncover) a lot!
This is a little bit of a longer episode. Char and Byron go into the difference between Pacifism, Nonviolent Resistance, and Antiviolence. As well as some other fun questions like: would you slap a Nazi?
Join Char and Byron and they tall about the Christian abolition of prison. And check out Henea De Savy's thesis on the development in the prison system in the antebellum North: https://tinyurl.com/3hu4bs55
