There’s an ache at the center of being human. The kind that doesn’t go away with a fresh to-do list or a good night’s sleep. It’s the longing for more. The grief of what wasn’t. The quiet ache of ordinary life—school pickups, grocery runs, scan results, and the slow accumulation of things we didn’t choose. In this tender and deeply wise conversation, Kate Bowler speaks with Father Ron Rolheiser—beloved Roman Catholic priest, theologian, and bestselling author—about the ache that lives in all of us... and why it might be the most holy part of who we are. This episode is for anyone who feels a little restless, a little disappointed, or just plain tired—and is looking for a spirituality big enough to hold the beautiful, unfinished life they’re living. In this conversation, Kate and Ron discuss: Why we all have an ache inside of us (and why that’s okay) The convalescence you may need from church communities that have hurt you How living in six-month intervals can teach us what really matters If you liked this episode, you’ll also love: Nadia Bolz-Weber, “The Insight of Outsiders” Richard Rohr, “Learning to Hold On, Learning to Let Go” Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

This is our unabridged interview with Nadia Bolz-Weber. “When I left the Christian Fundamentalism of my childhood, I became an activist.” Christian Fundamentalism is often looked down upon for its dualistic, black-and-white outlook, which is often used for policing behavior. But, Nadia Bolz-Weber explains, these are the same extreme tendencies that she found in secular activism after she left the church. Later in life, after working as a comedian and entering recovery, Nadia began to untangle the mindset that had taken her from one extreme to the other. Her long journey has since led her to becoming a Lutheran pastor and a three-time bestselling author. In this episode, she tells her story. Show Notes Resources mentioned this episode: “Shameless” by Nadia Bolz-Weber “Pastrix” by Nadia Bolz-Weber Similar NSE episodes: Philip Yancey: Where the Light Fell Kelly Corrigan: How Vulnerability Leads to Connection Musa al-Gharbi: We Have Never Been Woke Suzanne Stabile: Exploring the Enneagram PDF of Lee's Interview Notes Transcript of Abridged Interview Want more NSE?

Ken joins Ken Fong for a morning after the election review. It's not so much an autopsy on what went wrong as it is a reflection of their visceral response to the news that the 45th President won a decisive victory. He will become the 47th President of the United States. More than half the nation is celebrating this week - but celebrating what? The other less than half is deeply disappointed, fearful, depressed, and stunned. Once again, pollsters missed it. As a former senator put it, “Fear sells. Anger sells. Retribution and revenge sell. Us versus Them sells.” But an appeal to “the better angels of our nature”? Not so much. The two Kens call on several sources for insight and perspective, including Frank Schaeffer, Nadia Bolz Weber, and Robert Reich. Become a Patron | Ken's Substack PageSupport the show

Every day of our lives, we are writing our story. Sometimes the story comes out the way we plan it and sometimes it's something altogether different. The thing is that we don't write our story alone. It is added to by the people we encounter and with whom we journey. Some of those “co-writers” become like saints to us. That's right, ordinary people can do or say ordinary things that become extraordinary influences in our lives... even if we don't recognize it in the moment. It's important that we don't underestimate the power of story, or the power of others to influence our stories. As we come close to the celebration of All Saints Day, a time for remembering and honoring the “saints” in our lives, this episode of Awaken to God's Presence leads listeners through a time of story remembering that focuses on the saints with whom they have journeyed. Sources referenced in this episode: Nadia Bolz-Weber, Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People, (New York: Convergent Books, 2015), p 7. Rev.

Hope seems like a simple concept, but the feeling can be difficult to hold onto. And when times are difficult and chaos swirls around us, it's more important than ever. How do we find and practice hope when it's elusive? Spiritual and religious leaders rely on centuries of experience and wisdom to continually guide people back to hope, and this episode's discussion from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival draws from these experts. Lutheran pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber founded the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, and doesn't shy away from unorthodox methods of ministry. Rabbi Sharon Brous is the founder and leader of IKAR, a nondenominational Jewish congregation in Los Angeles. Humanist chaplain Greg Epstein works with the populations at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Union Theological Seminary professor and the former director of the Religion and Society Program at the Aspen Institute, Simran Jeet Singh, introduces and moderates the conversation. aspenideas.org

Here's another great podcast featuring a conversation with Ray. The Confessional is hosted by author and ordained Lutheran pastor, Nadia Bolz-Weber. She invites guests to share stories about times they were at their worst. They talk honestly about what led to that moment, what they learned from it, and how they changed as a result. Let's step into The Confessional.For more about the show, go to nadiabolzweber.com/podcast.

It's Friday and we're rounding up the news of the week. First, Kyle Clark's stellar performance as a moderator for the Congressional District 4 debates caught the attention of Jimmy Kimmel, so we had to ask him about it. The 9News anchor also joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about the Colorado GOP's weird week involving the slandering of Pride and a friendly nod to the Westboro Baptist Church. Then, an epic city council sidewalk disappointment, a celebration of the zipper merge, and more wins and fails of the week. We talked about our special series Lauren Boebert Can't Lose, as well as both Kyle and Bree's interviews with congressional district candidate Valdamar Archuleta. Kyle mentioned 9News' review of the handling of the initial investigation into Elijah McClain's death and Paul shouted out Representative Steph Vigil's legislation supporting gig workers. Bree talked about American Culture's show this weekend at D3 Arts — and you can hear “Hey Brother, It's Been a While”, the band's latest release on Bandcamp. For more on the Westboro Baptist Church, Paul recommends this interview with former Westboro member Megan Phelps-Roper. It's from a podcast he produced a few years ago, hosted by the badass local pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber.  What do you think about Kyle Clark's performance at the CD4 debate last week?

In this sermon we look at a moment where the disciples encounter the post-resurrection Jesus and we consider what it means to be aware of God's presence in the room (thank you Nadia Bolz-Weber).

1. In preaching about the passage from John 14 in which Jesus says, “I am the True Vine,” Mandy discussed what it means to “bear fruit,” and suggested several related questions. So, what do you think? What *does* it mean to “bear fruit?” And, if you can, share a bit about how you arrived at your answer or, perhaps, what influences led to your conclusions. What is it that you think God wants from you (personally & individually)? How does it differ from with what you think God wants from us, as the Christian body of the church? Finally, what do you think God wants from us, as the collective of humanity. Compare your answer to the answers you provided in the previous two questions. What do you notice when observing the way these answers (yours & those of the group altogether), compare to one another?2. Mandy preached about the intended interconnectedness of not only people generally, but also in our lives as Christians. She shared a quote from Nadia Bolz-Weber that ends by saying, “dependence is not a matter of personal morality or preference; it's a matter of life and death - branches that refuse to cling to the vine die.”Of this, Mandy said, “That's not a threat; it's just what happens.” Do you really believe this? That we affect each other in crucial ways? That we need each other, really? That the point of your Christian existence isn't really about you? How much do your answers to these questions line up with the actuality of your calendar and life? How connected & interconnected do you feel to the people around you? To your church? To “the” Church? Where are the biggest disconnects between what you “believe” and how you live your life? How do you understand those incongruities? Respond with kindness to what surfaces in you as you contemplate them. 3. In the scripture passage for today, Jesus urges us to abide in him. Before moving on, briefly discuss what that means to you or what it might mean. Mandy gave us some different phrases in exploring what it means to abide: to tarry, to stay, to cling, to remain, to depend, to rely, to last, to persevere, to commit, to continue, to tolerate, to endure, to acquiesce, to accept, to hang-in-there-for-the-long-haul, and to make ourselves at home. Read this list out loud slowly a few times as a group. Spend a moment considering and listening. Which of these comparable phrases jumped out to you? Which caught your attention? How similar or dissimilar are these concepts to what you discussed about what it means to abide? Do you see, as Mandy suggested we might, a tension between our own proclivity for activity, adding more and what may be intended in this direction to abide in Him? What surfaces as you consider this dynamic in your own life?

From the beginning, church leaders criticized the Emerging Church Movement. At times painful, at other times laughable, it came from the right and the left. The critics took on what ECM leaders said and wrote, how they led churches, and even how they looked. And none were more the target of criticism than Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, and Nadia Bolz-Weber. In this episode, they get to hear clips of that criticism — some for the first time — and respond in real time. You'll hear what they learned, what they regret, and some never-before-told behind-the-scenes stories.  ______ Emerged is a crowdfunded project.

In 2011, Tripp sat down with Rachel Held Evans (1981-2019) to record some conversations for a project that never got off the ground. This never-before-heard audio provides a fascinating glimpse into what was going on in the church and the world — and in the head and heart of one of the most beloved Christian authors at the time. But it also reveals just how much has changed, and how no one in 2011 could have foreseen the political and cultural upheavals that would rock the evangelical church. Also joining us on this episode are Ryan Burge, to discuss those changes, and Nadia Bolz-Weber, to share what it was like to meet Rachel, befriend her, and lose her. ______ Music by The Cobalt Season (compliments of Ryan Sharp), Solomon's Porch (compliments of Ben Johnson) Emerged is a crowdfunded project.

Sarah McCammon is an award-winning National Political Respodent for NPR and the author of the upcoming book: 'The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living and Leaving the White Evangelical Church'. ‘The Exvangelicals' is part-memoir and part-journalism, providing a guided tour through the significant religious and political social shifts happening in our current historical moment, interwoven with Sarah's own story growing up evangelical.As I said to Sarah multiple times throughout our conversation, I  deeply appreciated this book. But don't just take my word for it! It's endorsed by people like Brian McLaren, Nadia Bolz Weber, Jemar Tisby and Kristen Kobes Du Mez. I don't want to overstate the influence of American evangelicalism here in Australia….but I also don't want to understate it.  What America exports in faith, politics and culture show up in so many ways we would do well to critically ponder.

Phyllis Tickle (1934-2015) was a force of nature. She was a poet, author, publisher, teacher, professor, and so much more. She was one of the leading experts on the church in America, and her Divine Hours books introduced a generation of Christians to fixed hour prayer. And in the mid-2000s, she became a leading ally for and advocate of the Emerging Church Movement. She seemed the unlikeliest emergent – a lay Anglican in her late 60s, hanging around with a bunch of disgruntled GenX evangelical pastors – but by the time her book, The Great Emergence, came out, she had established herself as a leading voice in the movement. And there can be no doubt that her stature earned the movement great credibility in the eyes of many who would have otherwise been dubious. Phyllis spent the final decade of her life preaching emergence, and in this episode, we examine her legacy. Guests include Jon Sweeney, Brian McLaren, Nadia Bolz-Weber and Diana Butler Bass.

Where does all our suffering come from and how can we free ourselves? Pastor, author, and speaker, Nadia Bolz-Weber, discusses how she finally became healed and whole enough to choose romantic love from freedom instead of desperation. With her characteristic raw honesty, Nadia shares that the secret to her healing has been “honestly, a lot of pain.” Plus, Nadia leads Abby to a heartbreaking, cathartic moment of clarity – and shares a blessing that she wrote for Abby and all queer people. About Nadia: Nadia Bolz-Weber is an ordained Lutheran Pastor; founder of House for All Sinners & Saints in Denver; host of The Confessional podcast; and author of three NYT bestselling memoirs: Pastrix, Accidental Saints, and SHAMELESS. Nadia writes and speaks about personal failings, recovery, grace, faith, and really whatever the hell else she wants to. She always sits in the corner with the other weirdos, and she can be found a couple days a week inside the Denver women's prison where she is a volunteer chaplain. https://thecorners.substack.com/ IG: @sarcasticlutheran To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

This epoisode is sponsored by Better Help. Hey everyone! It's ANOTHER remix episode of A Little Bit Culty because: It's always good to take some time to look back and reflect.  PLUS we're currently working our tails off on a batch of all new, farm fresh episodes for a brand new season. Until then, you can always join us over on Patreon - that's patreon.com/alittlebitculty for new weekly episodes, adfree, and other treats.  But right now? We're about to get in the weeds of one of our favorite topics with some of our fan favorites.  On todays episode we are diving head first into the fucked up world of abstinence pledges, purity rings, and knee length skirts. That's right, we are going deep in the purity culture discussion and we aren't pulling out.   Joining us are three powerhouse guests.   First is the most rockin' reverend we've ever met.   Nadia Bolz-Weber is an ordained Lutheran Pastor, and founder of House for All Sinners & Saints in Denver:  a progressive, queer-inclusive Lutheran congregation. She's written three New York Times bestselling memoirs, including Shameless: A Sexual Reformation, which takes on what she sees as the harmful ideas about sexuality that Christianity has promoted throughout history. She's the creator and host of The Confessional podcast, a pop-up prayer network called The Chapel, and a wildly inspirational Substack called The Corners.    Next up is Alice Greczyn - an actress, author, and founder of Dare to Doubt. Her story includes a painful yet rewarding transition from Christianity to atheism, a journey that inspired her to found DaretoDoubt.org, a resource site for people detaching from belief systems they come to fnd harmful.    And last, and probably least, Eric Skwarczynski is the host and creator of the Preacher Boys podcast, which is a platform for survivors' stories about a deeply disturbing pattern of sexual predation and abuse claims within the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement.    You won't want to miss a single second of todays show, so let's get started with our personal Fuck You to Purity Culture, featuring Nadia Bolz Weber, Alice Greczyn, and Eric Skwarczynski.

A conversation based on Nadia Bolz-Weber's book - Shameless: A Sexual Reformation. In this conversation, we summarize her points on how the Church has caused harm through purity culture and "abstinence only" teaching. Instead, we approach broad definitions of a healthy sexual ethic. It is important to hold Consent, Care, Covenant, and Communication (coined by Rev. Josh Lee) at the forefront of any conversation around sexuality. We are fully affirming of the spectrum of LGBTQIA+ identities and recognize that there are additional harms caused to folks in this community.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is Noelle Mering, author of Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology. Hank and Noelle discuss the definition of woke, the role of language in woke ideology, Nadia Bolz-Weber and the dangerous future of woke Christianity, the origins of woke ideology, critiquing Critical Theory, and the primary dogmas of wokeism.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (06/26/23), we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is Noelle Mering, author of Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology. Hank and Noelle discuss the definition of woke, the role of language in woke ideology, Nadia Bolz-Weber and the dangerous future of woke Christianity, the origins of woke ideology, critiquing Critical Theory, and the primary dogmas of wokeism.

At a dinner party Substack hosted in San Francisco last week, I found myself sitting next to Kevin Kelly, the founding executive editor of Wired magazine and former publisher of the Whole Earth Review. We were talking about the capital of the world. It no longer felt that New York was it, I was telling him, though it had not been replaced by another physical city either. Rather, the world now had only one, digital, capital. If you made it there, you'd make it anywhere.He agreed, with one amendment. “Silicon Valley is the place least resistant to new ideas today,” he said, which was the original point of the world capital as a destination. I had recently interviewed Nadia Bolz-Weber for this podcast, and her words were still fresh in my mind. I imagined her response to this would be, “The problem is, it is also the place most resistant to old ideas.” Nadia embodies the old and the new. She is a striking figure: tall and lean, with a thick mane of salt-and-pepper hair and a penetrating blue gaze. She is covered in colorful tattoos of Christian mythology and exudes the warmth of wisdom. She practices one of the oldest traditions, that of the preacher. The texts she “wrestles with,” as she puts it, are centuries-old. Her task is to bring them to the here and now, to the self. They become personal to her because, in order to interpret them, she must first study herself anew. Nadia has been an alcoholic, a standup comic, and a sinner. She has been a pastor, a prison preacher, and a saint. She talked about what these qualifiers mean to her, how she understands the concept of faith, the relationship between poetry and prayer, and the danger of innovating without consideration for tradition. One of her observations echoed what Suleika Jaouad and Diego Perez emphasized during their own exchange a couple of weeks ago, when they spoke about the significance of honesty in writing. Nadia reinforced that message when she said:“Some people make a living off of being sort of influencers, who say things that might kind of be true, but they never feel honest. They feel like they're ignoring a darker side of our hearts. I always want somebody to really acknowledge the sort of more shadowy contours of my human heart, and then talk about where some grace or hope or forgiveness is. Because I feel like when those things are ignored, it just fills me a little bit with despair, even though they're telling me something really chipper. I like it when writers or preachers are willing to be honest about their own struggles in a real way.” This also brought to mind the conversation that Mike Solana and Ted Gioia had here on the Active Voice. As Ted put it, “There's been an enormous crisis of trust, and certain voices are emerging and succeeding because they've been able to parlay that trust.”What connects all of them is their allegiance to honesty, and the obligation they feel to deliver it to their audience. https://thecorners.substack.com/ Show notesSubscribe to The Corners by Nadia Bolz-Weber on SubstackFind Nadia on Twitter and InstagramNadia's booksFrancis Spufford's book Unapologetic“Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins[02:00] The House for All Sinners and Saints[06:18] The church after the pandemic[10:18] The process of preaching to oneself[12:54] Finding the Good News[15:29] Nadia's regrets[21:00] On resurrection[25:00] When we call out to God[29:40] Being clear-eyed about being humanThe Active Voice is a podcast hosted by Hamish McKenzie, featuring weekly conversations with writers about how the internet is affecting the way they live and write.

David Boice of 52 Churches in 52 Weeks Talks LDS Experiences!After a string of bad first dates and no church to call home, Dave Boice chronicles his yearslong spiritual journey in search for something more on YouTube and in a book. What started as a simple endeavor to find a hometown church turned into a thrilling spiritual adventure that is sidesplittingly witty and deeply emotional. Of note, David had some unexpected experiences attending two church services of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is still processing it and discusses it with Steven Pynakker of Mormon Book Reviews! From the streets of Manhattan to the beaches of Orange County, Boice explores numerous denominations including Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Quaker, Greek Orthodox, Christian Science, and other churches. From 20,000-seat megachurches to being the lone congregant at a Scientology service, no building was too big (or as a visit to “The World's Smallest Church can attest) too small. He danced with Pentecostals in Arkansas, immersed himself in prayer with monks that make beer in Massachusetts, worshipped at a Viking church in Wisconsin, and headbanged at a church known for heavy metal music in Ohio. You'll hear sermons from some of Christianity's most widespread preachers (Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes), most intellectual (Tim Keller and Os Guinness), most emergent (Nadia Bolz-Weber and Jay Bakker), to even the most curious (Todd Burpo from Heaven is For Real). Boice's unique undertaking and honest reflection reveals startling epiphanies and insights that will engage both believers and skeptics. 52 Churches in 52 Weeks YouTube channel is a must-see for anyone who wrestles with faith in the 21st century.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is Noelle Mering, author of Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (10/03/22), we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is Noelle Mering, author of Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology. Hank and Noelle discuss the definition of woke, the role of language in woke ideology, Nadia Bolz-Weber and the dangerous future of woke Christianity, the origins of woke ideology, critiquing Critical Theory, and the primary dogmas of wokeism.

Hank Hanegraaff believes that the following conversation with Noelle Mering is one of the most important podcasts he has ever recorded. Most people view woke ideology as a political or social movement, but Mering is convinced that it is a demonically motivated movement that takes partial truths and totalizes them while making God the ultimate oppressor. She wrote Awake, Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology as an effort to shed clarity on a movement that operates in confusion and like a trojan horse has manipulated many well-meaning Christians with ideological suppositions that are not only incompatible with but completely counter to Christianity. In short, the advocates of this progressive ideology will increasingly demand allegiance to their cause and Christians must be equipped to recognize and counter the claims of woke ideology by deepening their understanding of what is true and leaning on the historic foundations of the Church.For more information see Noelle Mering, Awake, Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology, available for your partnering gift. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-awake-not-woke-a-christian-response-to-the-cult-of-progressive-ideology/Topics discussed include: What is the definition of woke?

Rabbi Shira and Joshua welcome Lutheran Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber as we dive into the concept of "Bein Adam L'Atzmo", which means between humans and ourselves. Forewarning to Chutzsquad!....There is a lot of cursing in this episode and we bleeped none of it! Episode Timecodes: (04:05) Nadia Bolz-Weber interview (38:30) Rabbi Shira closing blessing to Nadia

Nadia Bolz-Weber talks about how we've used the phrase “the Lord” in ways that often paint a very different picture than who Jesus was and is. She tells us that in the time that Jesus was on earth, “Lord” was a term used for Caesar. Lords were dictatorial and made people's lives miserable. But Luke tells us of a different God entirely, God as baby, as friend, as Jesus. And Luke waits to call Jesus “Lord” until this story in Luke 7: The widow is leaving the city to go and bury her child. Jesus sees her and has compassion on her. In Greek, this term is more visceral—his guts turned, his insides lurched toward this woman in grief. Jesus is not the Lord of empire or institution or domination; Jesus is the Lord of compassion. Jesus saw grief and wasn't afraid to touch it. She concludes with a prayer for the Lord of compassion to enter into our grief, bless the things we think are dead, and give us back to one another. Following Nadia's talk, Jeff and Sarah discuss the names they have used for God, the need for resurrection in our daily lives, and the hard work of compassion.   Show Notes Evolving Faith Conference Podcast After Party (Community Discussion)
