The Feral Christian Podcast is an ever-expanding conversation that started with the book "Feral Christian" written by Pastor Eric Jackson. The goal is to connect and inspire Christians who are ready to break through the fences that have been set in their lives. We do this by humbly and honestly addressing aspects of modern Christian living that contradict or distract from the Word of God.
We discuss what it means to be a healthy Christian. It seems like so few of us feel healthy, but we don't know how to address it. Is being healthy a feeling? What did Jesus say about health? How do we define it?
We discuss how churches feel the need to compete with each other in our American culture, and what effect that has on what Christianity looks like in our country. Does the Bible have anything to say on this? As Feral Christians, what role are we playing?
In this episode we talk about the level of competition felt between churches in America. How has this impacted the way churches operate? What can we see in the New Testament Church in order to learn how to react? As Feral Christians, what is our role in this?
We are back after a long hiatus! What is Deconstruction? We look at the various definitions that are used to define this term, as well as how those relate to being a Feral Christian. Is there a place for Deconstruction in the life of a disciple of Jesus? Well, I guess that depends on how you define it...
Do apostles still exist today? If so, what value do they bring to the Body of Christ?
Do Prophets still exist in the Body of Christ? If so, where did we go wrong?
What role do Teachers play in the body of Christ? Why have we ignored them?

In this episode we begin our challenging walkthrough of Ephesians 4. How does what scripture tells us about our calling differ from what we’ve been taught? How does having a better understanding of this free us to be Feral Christians?
Is there room in your walk with God to be unique? Is uniformity a Christian characteristic? We look at what the Bible says, as well as the reality of the modern Church.

How should a Feral Christian respond to the Black Lives Matter movement?
How much does your definition of success change how you live out your faith? What should success actually mean for a Christian?
Is there room in The Church for curiosity? Is it simply a bad word for all Christians, or if exercised correctly, does it actually bring value to our walk with God?
Does pursuing simplicity in your walk with God mean you are trying to find the easy way? Or does simplicity actually allow you to do the hard things?
What does it actually mean to "do ministry" as a Christian, and why do we all seem to be waiting around for it to happen? Does having a title truly release us to be used by God?
What does sustainability have to do with living an undomesticated life as a believer in Christ? Does having an industrialized approach to church help or hurt us in the long-run?
Are traditions good or bad when you are trying to be a Feral Christian? Should there be a place for them in our lives?
