Deepfake Jesus - DEI Isn't a Noun 28:12

27d ago28:12

28:12

DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. But the acronym has become a noun for everything bad about America. That idea has penetrated both the conservative political world as well as the conservative Christian world. But the truth is that the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion have been Christian principles from the beginning, a…

Deep Fake Jesus - Make America Great Again? 24:43

2M ago24:43

24:43

In Maga terms, greatness is defined as strength through power. Power to dominate, power to deport whoever they wish, power to defy the courts, power to bully and intimidate. But is that really greatness?על ידי Skip Collins

Deep Fake Jesus - America First 26:22

2M ago26:22

26:22

America First has been a very popular phrase since 2015 when Donald Trump first ran for President. So how does "America First" square with the Kingdom of God?על ידי Skip Collins

Deepfake Jesus - Mass Deportation Now! 25:33

3M ago25:33

25:33

Most people around the world can tell you what Maga stands for. It has been embraced by most Christians in America, especially in evangelical circles. And those people - who I call Christian Maga - managed to elect Donald Trump as President last November. In my opinion, Christian Maga is neither Christian nor are they making America great. In fact,…

John Ellis - the music and the journey 51:42

8M ago51:42

51:42

In this episode, I interview my friend John Ellis of Tree 63 fame. We talk about the music and the spiritual journey of death and resurrection. Or as Father Richard Rhor loves to say, "order, disorder, and reorder". It's a journey of struggle and hope and a fantastic music catalog that speaks to it all.…

What does it mean to be a Christian? That is the question we are unpacking and looking at what the Apostle Paul wrote about it, in possibly the first book of the New Testament ever penned.על ידי Skip Collins

Intro to Progressive Christianity 17:51

1y ago17:51

17:51

You've probably heard the term "Progressive Christianity" somewhere along the way. But it's likely it wasn't in a positive context. So what is Progressive Christianity? What do they believe? Is it even Christian at all? In this episode Skip unpacks some of the core tenets of Progressive Christianity and how it is lived out in the life of a Christia…

Personal Being or Divine Presence 21:35

1+ y ago21:35

21:35

For all my life, I have understood God to be a personal being rather than some impersonal force. But in recent months the idea of God as a personal being has seemed a very limiting understanding of God. The understanding of God as Divine Presence has become more relevant and helpful for me. So which is it? Personal God or Divine Presence? Email: sk…

Seeing Salvation Through a Wider Lens - part 2 29:30

2y ago29:30

29:30

Have you ever considered the idea that Salvation in the Bible is not just "personal salvation"? That's what we are looking at in this episode. We talk about issues like systemic poverty, systemic racial inequality, guns control, voter repression, and other non-controversial stuff.

Seeing Salvation Through a Wider Lens 25:19

25:19

The words Salvation or Saved or Savior appears about 500 times in the Bible. For most of my life every time I read the word I assumed it was ultimately talking about going to heaven when you die. In this episode, I want to explain why I believe that assumption is absolutely wrong! Website: www.skipcollins.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/skipcollins Fa…

Seeing Faith Through a Wider Lens 26:32

2y ago26:32

26:32

Sometimes we think of faith only in terms of what we believe about God. But what if faith is much bigger and broader and more transformative than that? And what if what we believe about God, carries much less importance than we always thought?

Agreement is NOT overrated 25:42

It's pretty easy to come up with a list of things we disagree on. But what about a list of things that we agree on? Are there things that Progressives, and Evangelicals, and Mainline Churches all agree on? I think there are!

Is there anything more powerful in our world than story? I don't think so. And that is why I want to take some time to share stories of our LGBTQ+ siblings. We start with a friend from South Africa. Glenn worked with us in Youth for Christ when Sheila and I first moved to South Africa. Like all of us, Glenn's story is full of ups and downs, victori…

23:31

So far we have spoken about what the Bible doesn't say. In this episode, we are talking about what the Bible does say. This is at the very heart of the argument of the full inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community in the church.

This week we unpack 3 Old Testament passages that have been used in the argument against LGBTQAI+ inclusion. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22, and Leviticus 20:13. The truth is that these verses have nothing to do with what we understand as LGBTQIA+. Website: www.skipcollins.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/skipcollins Fac…

Finish this sentence. God created Adam and Eve not... Yes, we've all heard the creation argument used against our LGBTQ friends. But the truth is that it does not hold up at all in the question of gay marriage or gay relationships.

Free to Love - my road to inclusion and affirmation 26:17

2+ y ago26:17

26:17

The Christian Church is facing a very serious crossroads around LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Already major denominations are splitting over the issue. When we say everybody is welcome, what do we really mean? Is it everybody? Or just those that meet our requirements? This is the first in an ongoing series around this issue and shares my road to the full inc…

The Bible... from Both Sides Now 27:52

It seems that the way we view and understand the Bible can become a massive stumbling block as we deconstruct our faith.

Both Sides Now 21:21

In this episode, we explore the liminal space of deconstruction - the stage in your spiritual journey when you question and doubt - the stage that makes you wonder if everything you ever believed was just fantasy - the point at which you can't really tell if you're a Christian or an Agnostic. My hope is to bring some insight on how to navigate thos…

Compassion vs Holiness 23:44

All of my life I've been taught about holiness and purity. Be Holy as God is Holy. But what if compassion trumps holiness and purity? In fact what if the politics of holiness is actually doing damage? That's what we are talking about in this week's episode. I would love to hear your thoughts after you listen. Here's how to get in touch with me... F…

Let There Be Light 27:45

3y ago27:45

27:45

Several New Testament authors declare that Jesus is the light of the world. But then Jesus says YOU are the light of the world? It's interesting that he never said "You are the truth of the world" We get these confused way to often. In this episode we will unpack what all that looks like.על ידי Skip Collins

Deconstruction - good or bad? 27:51

You Are Not Inherently Bad! 30:41

4y ago30:41

30:41

The doctrine of original sin claims that all humans are "born into" sin. In other words, you are inherently flawed, inherently bad. And it's that inherent sin that separates you from God. God is forced to reject you because of it. This doctrine is pretty central to all of Christianity. But what if it's wrong! What if you are - in the words of Genes…

Why Did Jesus Die... Really? 34:42

For so many people deconstruction destroys Good Friday and Easter. The reasons that are given as to why what happened, happened just don't ring true anymore. It seems to me that the problem is that everybody speaks as if they REALLY KNOW! Like this is a piece of absolute truth that they have a handle on. What if nobody really knows for sure? Check …

If anyone tries to tell you that the doctrine of Hell is very clear in Scripture, I'm sorry but they don't know what they are talking about!

A New Look at the Kingdom of God episode 3 27:01

"The Kingdom of God is like..." is the way that Jesus often started his stories. He was trying to paint a picture of what the Kingdom of God looks like. In this episode, we are looking at the story that Jesus told (called parables) about the Wheat and the Weeds. I've always viewed this as a story about who's in and who's out of the Kingdom. But per…

Has The Gospel Failed Us? 25:26

If you have been around Christianity for even a very short time you probably know what the Gospel is. In Evangelicalism, it's Jesus taking our sin upon Himself on the cross and dying in our place.
