It's been long held (and rightly so) that truth, goodness, and beauty are a trinity of sorts, each one inexorably connected to the other. However, I feel that beauty has been neglected in favor of the other two for too long. Balance is needed.

In this episode, Brian and I have a conversation around the cross of Jesus and his latest book The Wood Between the Worlds. It's a deep conversation around suffering and putting to shame the powers and principalities. We talk about the multi-faceted meaning of the cross and view it through a kaleidoscope, so we can uncover more and more depth of meaning. We talk about the Kingdom, galvanizing around an axis of power or an axis of love expressed in forgiveness, and the seduction of power we find in the Lord of the Rings. It's a fantastic conversation that I know you will enjoy. So join us as we look at the multi-faceted wonder of the cross.

Intellectual certainty has long been a cornerstone of the Christian faith. But in an age of secularism, skepticism, and cynicism, our worldviews have been shaken. Various solutions exist - some double down on certainty, while others deconstruct their faith until there is nothing left at all. But Brian Zahnd offers a third way: What is needed is not a demolition, but instead a renovation of faith. Join Pastor Zahnd and myself as he shares with wisdom, candor, and humor.

Rector's Cupboard is pleased to welcome Brian Zahnd. Brian is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Brian has been somewhat of a trailblazer in contemporary expressions of hopeful theology. His books, including Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God and Beauty Will Save the World, outline a thoughtful, positive, and beautiful understanding of Christian faith and belief. Brian's work has informed the work of Rector's Cupboard and Reflector Project. As our reach has grown, we have consistently encountered people who have been helped by Brian's writing. We were pleased, in this episode, to include a couple of friends we've met through our work who have also followed Brian's work. Neil and Peter start the conversation with Brian by opening up some of their key questions. Brian is one of those writers and speakers that people who hold rigid and fearful understandings of faith sometimes warn you about. One of the problems for such accusations is that Brian knows his stuff. He opens a consideration of the history of Christian faith and theology and of Biblical interpretation in a way that shows us how, often, the fearful or divisive ways we have understood theology and the Bible are the distortions, not the life-giving truth. Brian does this in a way that is direct, but not accusatory, thoughtful, but understandable and relatable. Enjoy the episode. Tasting Notes: Our tasting for this episode comes all the way from Lviv, Ukraine. Piana Vyshnia, or Drunk Cherry in English, is a not too sweet cherry liqueur that we would highly recommend, if you can find it.

If you were to imagine what's most important to God, beauty probably wouldn't make the list. Dostoevsky said beauty will save the world. Jesus seemed to agree. What does that mean? Why would Jesus assign so much power & priority to something most of us see as surfacy? Could it be we don't understand God, or have we incorrectly defined beauty? What if it's a bit of both? What if beauty can save the world? How would that work?
On today's show, I welcome Dr. Curt Thompson back to the podcast. If you remember Curt from Episode 33, you already know that the conversation ahead is a special one. Dr. Curt Thompson is a psychiatrist, author, speaker, and the host of The Being Known Podcast. Curt's work largely lies at the intersection of interpersonal neurobiology and spiritual formation, connecting our intrinsic desire to be known with the need to tell truer stories about ourselves. Curt desires to show us how to form deep relationships, discover meaning, and live integrated, creative lives. Using the tools of neuroscience, attachment research, and Biblical knowledge, Curt names the depths of what it means to be human; to long to be deeply known and live into and in light of the true hope of the Gospel. In today's conversation, Curt and I discuss themes and insights from his most recent book, The Soul of Desire. Curt explains why beauty makes all the difference in our lives; how we can put ourselves in the path of oncoming beauty, and why it's so important to do so. Curt also names the importance of community in helping us see beauty in ourselves and envisioning beauty amidst the chaos of our own lives. Perhaps most importantly, Curt reminds us that God is a God who wades into the chaos of the world, and the chaos of our lives, and not only sees beauty but is intimately involved in bringing that beauty about.
In the third and last message of this series, Pastor Fran shares his conviction that BEAUTY is the missing component of modern Christian thinking and theology, and that when we begin to take beauty seriously again, and the beauty of God himself revealed in Christ, we will be set free from versions of Christianity built on cold doctrine or angry politics, and we will be drawn to the God who promised to make us good, whole, and free like himself.
Beauty can be associated with skin-deep attractiveness, but God's beauty, the beauty of love, humility, and forgiveness, is far more powerful and can never be exhausted. Creation is saturated with God's character and His beauty. This should affect our worship, but does it? Do we have a theology of beauty? Zach Dasher, media producer and nephew of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, joins us today to explain how important beauty is, why people are so hungry for it, and how we can respond to that hunger.View chapters, quotes, and the transcript for this episodeWebsite: Disciple Nations Alliance

But Brian Zahnd offers a third way: he thinks that what is needed is not a demolition but instead a renovation of faith.Follow Brian on his blog.
Deconstruction has become a dirty word in evangelical circles. Some people think all we want to do is burn Christianity to the ground. Others worry that the deconstruction community isn't doing enough to shed itself from fundamentalism. We will just be honest, most days we'd rather just let evangelicalism go up in flames, purging the entire super-structure that is modern Christianity. We know that's not the end goal of deconstruction, but it just feels easier to sit back and watch it burn. Maybe that's why this episode was so convicting. In our first interview of Season Two, Pastor Brian Zahnd joins us to share his own deconstruction journey by taking us with him down a different road, one carved on the ancient pilgrim path of the Camino de Santiago. What he found along the way just might point us toward the future of faith; a faith centered in contemplation, mystery, and mysticism. Plus, some exciting news! This episode also introduces our new co-host, Kelly Rose Lamb. I hope you will welcome her with open arms as she joins the show!

What would our lives look like if we could see the world through God's lens of redemptive beauty? Where even the ugliness of injustice, pain, and brokenness can be made beautiful? The hope of the Gospel is that God is making all things beautiful. We conclude our collection on beauty with a short exhortation about how we can begin seeing our world through this lens of beauty.
Stories have the power to shape our world. Stories shape our culture, our values, our dreams and ideals. They teach us about love and friendship and courage and hope. It's significant that the way God chooses to reveal Himself to us is through the story of Scripture. What if the stories we carry aren't just for ourselves? What would happen if we could create a culture where our stories of God moving were shared and shared often? This week, we explore beauty through the lens of story and how God uses our stories to increase His activity in our lives.
Flowers are commonly associated with beauty. We enjoy them because they're beautiful to look at and touch and smell. But what can flowers teach us about the Gospel? As a floral designer, guest speaker Sammy Go shares his unique perspective about what flowers teach us about God, about ourselves, and about the order of creation itself.
Welcome to episode twenty-nine of New Creation Conversations. In today's conversation I am joined by a pastor and author Brian Zahnd. Brian is the founder and lead pastor of the World of Life Church – a non-denominational church in St. Joseph, Missouri. He has an amazing story of coming to faith, founding a church, and leading that same community of faith for forty years. His story is one of continual transformation as his passion for reading and study in theology, philosophy, and biblical studies has continued to shape him as a leader and a pastor.Brian has become an important voice and thought-leader for many in ministry. We have a wonderful conversation about his story, his ministry, and several of his books including Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Water into Wine, Beauty will Save the World, and his most recent work – Postcards from Babylon. Brian has a new book When Everything's On Fire – about the challenge that people go through when their faith is deconstructed and contested – and how to put all the pieces back together. He will also be one of the keynote speakers at the upcoming #Preach2021 Conference entitled "Beauty Will Save the World: Preaching That Restores" at Nazarene Theological Seminary in September.
