A New Web Experiment

So for a while there I was a Conservative Reformed Mafia consigliere, and I’m still officially (though not productively, and I’m sorry, linda and Andrew and Joe) a writer over at i wonder as i wander, and now I’m embarking on a new group blog venture.
Starting on Monday, I’m going to be posting my more [...]

The Christian Humanist Podcast: A Reply to Phil Rutledge

When I was a junior in college, I was Resident Assistant for the mighty and noble third floor of Webb Hall, a place where youth group kids came to become Milligan men.  In that time, one of the many fine people I came to call friend was Phil Rutledge, now a seminary student at Christian [...]

The Christian Humanist Podcast Episode 9: Pat Robertson and the Haiti Earthquake

Christian Humanist Podcast Home Page (NEW)
I had my bit on the apocalyptic vision thought out far more smoothly than I delivered it in today’s episode, but Michial’s and David’s brilliance more than make up for my incoherence.

New Podcast Episode Tomorrow

Howdy, readers and listeners.
We had originally moved the recording session for the Christian Humanist Podcast to today because MLK Day had altered Emmanuel’s schedule.  Now, with a monster storm passing over the home of CHP host and engineer Michial Farmer, we decided to get him off of the computer and reschedule for tomorrow morning.  Look [...]

Christian Humanist Podcast Episode 8: Apologetics

Show Notes
RSS Feed
Today’s episode engaged some fairly technical questions of theological method as well as our more customary interdisciplinary wares, and the stretch was a fun one.  I think we set forth (at the very least) some interesting takes on some big Christian questions today, and the episode ought to be worth a listen.
If you’re [...]

Christian Humanist Podcast Episode 7: Wars on Christmas

RSS Feed
Show Notes
I was quite a bit snotty this week (as was the Internet Monk in his weekly podcast, but I promise we’re not the same person), but David and Michial were more than brilliant enough to pick up my slack as we discussed some of the changes that Christmas has undergone across the centuries, [...]

Christian Humanist Podcast Episode 6: Science Fiction and Fantasy

Podcast RSS Feed
Show Notes
Appropriately enough for a show on science fiction, this week’s episode encountered no significant obstacles from software updates and the like.? Obviously the topic is gigantic, and as usual, we opened up more questions than we answered, but that’s part of the fun of our podcast, methinks.? Take a listen and let [...]

Some Thoughts for a Fish, Part 1: What’s Wrong with Hip? Plenty.

I wish I had the video-editing aptitude and the comfort in front of a camera that Callid Keefe-Perry does, but his thoughtful vlog entry (I haven’t used that neologism for years–it feels good to type it) warrants a thoughtful response, so I’ll do so in text, the medium with which I remain more comfortable.
On Ex [...]

The Christian Humanist Podcast Episode 5.1

I’ll admit that I’m really bummed about today’s recording, not because Michial Farmer lacked brilliance (he ever does) but because our computers weren’t behaving, and I fear that it cut short a very interesting conversation picking up where last week’s episode left off.? I still think we got some good stuff in there, but after [...]

Christian Humanist Podcast Episode 5: Response to Feedback

Christian Humanist Podcast RSS Feed
The Christian Humanist Podcast’s November 17 episode, in which our three hosts discussed Emergent and the New Calvinism, generated so much feedback that the three of us felt that we ought not to give it any less than a full-bodied treatment, but since our recording time can only run an hour [...]

The Christian Humanist Podcast Episode 5: Emergent vs. the New Calvinists

The Christian Humanist Podcast’s fifth episode is now live on FeedBurner, and we tackled a controversial question today, namely the place of (what magazines call) the New Calvinists and the Emergent Church in 21st-century Christian life. ?I’m sure that my friends in both camps will agree that I got many things wrong and didn’t rein [...]

Long Time, No Post: 2 New Christian Humanist Podcasts

As it turns out, a new job, a newborn who doesn’t sleep at night, and a long commute keep one away from blogging pretty nicely.? Nonetheless, the Christian Humanist Podcast crew has been cranking out new episodes, and I figured I’d give you readers (those of you who are left) links to the podcast so [...]

(Kind of) New Christian Humanist Podcast Episode: John Calvin

I should have posted this much earlier in the week, but Tuesday’s episode of The Christian Humanist Podcast went very well, and we’ve already heard from some people who have enjoyed it.? Look to Michial Farmer’s blog for show notes, and perhaps next week I’ll post it sooner after it goes live online.

First of all, thanks to all of you who have listened and weighed in.? The three of us are gearing up for Tuesday’s discussion of John Calvin, and we’re flattered that people whose podcasts we listen to and enjoy seem to be enjoying our [...]

The Christian Humanist Podcast

So the podcast has finally gone live.? The Christian Humanist hopes to be a weekly podcast (tied, of course, to the academic calendar) hosted by Michial Farmer, David Grubbs, and myself, moderated on a weekly rotation by all three of us.? This is the first attempt for all three hosts, but on the whole, all [...]
