Can I Believe?

Welcome back to a new season of the podcast! Season 7 starts off with a bang as Don Barkley from Search Orange County helps us anwser the question, "Can I Believe  All Things?"Support the show

How did we get to a place in our world where everyone is feeling the need to seek PERMISSION just to safely exist. " Can I say that?" .." Can I be that?" .. "Can I Believe that?" Who grants that permission we are seeking? Sit with Stacy, Donnamarie and our guest, Lynn Gaudet, as we lay out permission. To Lynn, it is both internal and external. We seek permission from others and ourselves. To Donnamarie, permission is an act of 'being given the right.' How do you sit with PERMISSION?

Evangelicalism has rapidly become one of the most significant religious movements in the modern world. An umbrella term that encompasses many Protestant denominations that share core tenets of Christianity, evangelicalism is foremost defined by its disciples' consideration of the Bible as the ultimate moral and historical authority, the desire to evangelize or spread the faith, and the value of religious conversion known as being “born again.” Purchase your copy of Evangelicalism - https://amzn.to/3h862Qt Purchase your copy of Can I Believe? - https://amzn.to/3U3BnlU *Contains amazon affiliate links.

John Stackhouse says he knows there are so many reasons to view his faith, Christianity, with skepticism. But Stackhouse wants to meet those misgivings head-on in the book, Can I Believe?: Christianity for the Hesitant. Later, Kate Bowler says she lived life looking for the best, but when that proved impossible, now she searches for "good enough."

Almost two weeks ago, I was fortunate to have had a conversation with interdisciplinary scholar (and hyper-specialist in Canadian evangelicalism) Dr John Stackhouse.  He and I literally live down the road from each other, yet haven't really chatted before this, and so it was a great opportunity to ask him some questions and get to hear part of his story.  We talk about the university where he currently teaches, we talk about what he considers “liberal Christianity” to actually be, he tries to assess whether or not I'm an “evangelical Christian”... a good time was had by all!At the end of the interview, I mentioned that I did not know what the world would be like in two weeks.  I couldn't have known at that time how true that might be.  Even though many of our hearts and minds are heavy with what is going on in Ukraine, we continue to move forward with what we know and what we can explore, which in this episode is namely the hope of the gospel (Christianity's good news) for the broader world.In this interview we reference this post of Stackhouse's on “Civil Disobedience for Christians” (which was actually the hot button issue of two weeks ago), and we talk a little about his most recent book, Can I Believe?.What did not emerge until just after our conversation was a little back-n-forth between Stackhouse and Christianity Today's news editor (and another person I recently chatted with), Daniel Silliman about his own attempt at defining evangelicalism.  Disagreements can seem spicy, but conversation (whether that's over coffee or a debate podium) tend to be the only way that ideas move forward.

Carrying on our conversation on Apologetics, we are joined by Dr. John G. Stackhouse, Jr., who is Samuel J. Mikolaski Professor of Religious Studies at Crandall University in New Brunswick (Canada), and the author of a couple important studies on apologetics, such as, Humble Apologetics: Defending the Faith Today (Oxford University Press) and, more recently, Can I Believe? Christianity for the Hesitant (Oxford University Press). In our conversation Dr. Stackhouse points out how what's happening in apologetics mirrors what's happening all around the world with the rise of populism—appealing directly to the masses. Over the course of our conversation we talk about the ethics of platforming and the kinds of motivating impulses that drive the industry, including certain fundamentalist impulses and the nature of Hell. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. Amber Bowen, Dr. Josh Carroll, and Dr. John Anthony Dunne.

John Stackhouse’s new book Can I Believe? is for the curious, and the hesitant. ”And this sad little figure in a remote corner of the Roman Empire becomes the leader of the most popular religion in the history of the world - which means it's the most popular explanation for everything ever in human history. Now, that's just really strange. We're just used to it, but it's a pretty weird story.” 84 percent of the world’s population is affiliated with a religion - but Canadian scholar John G. Stackhouse Jr would say that 100 percent of us are religious. His latest book, Can I Believe? Christianity for the Hesitant, invites us all to consider what we believe and why - and explains how he thinks the weirdness of Christianity fits the weirdness of the world as it really is. “If you think, for instance, of atomic and sub-atomic physics, think of certain forms of cosmology - there are all sorts of theories that I barely can even articulate, let alone understand, but I'm told by smart people that this is the best way to construe the data even though it's in many cases counter-intuitive. But they've tried the obvious explanations and they don't work as well as this really strange one. And that's what I think is the case with Christianity.”

En #Fitz21 intentamos confeccionar nuestro grupo burbuja, pero nos falta gente para llegar a los seis contactos. Os hablamos de “Yo estoy vivo y vosotros estáis muertos” la biografía de Philip K. Dick escrita por Emmanuel Carrère y terminamos charlando sobre un futuro que no parece nada halagüeño, aunque tampoco hay que dramatizar ni preocuparse en exceso porque no sirve de nada. Comenzamos la selección musical con “The way we live today” de Fimber Bravo, un músico capaz de extraer sonidos increíbles a un peculiar instrumento; el tambor de acero de pan, y que en esta canción sirve de acompañamiento a la voz de Alexis Taylor de Hot Chip. El único disco de Bravo hasta la fecha es “Con-Fusion” de 2013 para la discográfica Moshi Moshi Records . Suena Shilpa Ray, una rockera neoyorquina. Descrita como una voz del “blues punk”, ha sido comparada con Debbie Harry de Blondie, Patti Smith, Ella Fitzgerald y hasta Nick Cave, con este último ha colaborado y compartido escenario. Su último tema lleva el curioso titulo de “Heteronormative Horseshit Blues” que cuestiona la cultura heterosexual y sugiere una urgentemente discusión con el fin del refórmala o finalmente abolirla. La canción viene acompañada de un videoclip dirigido por Amos Poe vieja gloria del “No Wave Cinema”. Ólafur Arnalds, es un músico islandés, uno de los puntales de una nueva generación de músicos ambient y electrónica tranquila. Compartimos “Wove song”, según el autor una metáfora de ser abrazado por algo más grande que tú mientras exploras nuevos territorios, la sensación de ser abrazado mientras abres tu corazón, esta canción es un adelanto de su nuevo disco “Some kind of peace”, que será publicado el próximo 6 de noviembre. EL 22 de septiembre salió por sorpresa el cuarto disco de Fleet Foxes con el titulo de “Shore”, un disco largo con 15 cortes que será sin duda uno de los discos del año. Todos los temas fueron compuestos por su líder Robin Pecknold, muchos ellos durante el confinamiento de Nueva York, unas canciones que buscan celebrar la vida en la cara de la muerte, en palabras del propio Robin, compartimos “Can I Believe you”, uno de grandes temas del disco. Adrianne Lenker es una artista muy precoz, con sólo trece años ya sacó disco, alma de la banda Big Thief, ha estrenado “Dragon eyes” una nueva canción extraída del doble álbum en solitario que publicará el 23 de octubre. El nuevo trabajo llevará el nombre de “Songs e instrumentals,” este nuevo material fue grabado el pasado mes de abril tras tener que cancelar la gira junto a Big Thief. Maria Rodés publica el 16 de octubre ‘Lilith’ un disco en el cual reivindica el papel de la bruja desde una perspectiva actual y feminista. Escuchamos “Oscuro Canto” tema de presentación. Nos dejamos transportar por la dulce y hermosa voz de María. Comentamos la trayectoria de la cantante barcelonesa, la increíble historia de su tío bisabuelo e ilustre astrónomo y su relación David Byrne. 43:35 > Esta semana hablamos de “Sueño Florianópolis” de Ana Katz, directora y actriz de cine y teatro argentina. Hacemos un recorrido por su trayectoria. Una cineasta que a la que Gijon International Film Festival (Official Site) en su #58FICX dedicará una retrospectiva. Una familia argentina viaja a Brasil. Dentro del coche, Lucrecia y Pedro (psicólogos) y sus dos hijos adolescentes. La pareja está viendo cómo se apaga la llama de su matrimonio. Pero las vacaciones son siempre una tregua de la vida cotidiana, un paréntesis en el que cualquier cosa puede suceder y hay permisos para la experimentación y usar máscaras distintas de las que se llevan durante el resto del año. Y qué mejor lugar para eso que Brasil, tierra prometida de libertad y espontaneidad tropical. En las playas, entre olas, y paseos acuáticos, nacen los romances cruzados y una atracción que salpica también a los hijos de unos y de otros. Los hijos aprovechan para vivir sus experiencias y todo se enreda un poco más. Una comedia y que deja cierto regusto de tristeza.
