Renowned theologian Dr. Thomas Jay Oord joins the dynamic trio of Andy Walsh, Kevin Schaeffer, and TJ Blackwell on a philosophical rollercoaster ride through the murky waters of destiny and free will, all sparked by the mind-bending narrative of *The Minority Report*. The conversation kicks off with a bold assertion that we don't get to pick our beliefs; they pick us instead, setting the stage for a deep dive into what justice, redemption, and the future mean in this context. The hosts and Dr. Oord explore the implications of a world where crimes can be predicted before they happen, asking whether such foresight strips away moral responsibility or if it actually enhances it. As they unpack the film's complex themes, they also manage to weave in humor and light-hearted banter, making for a relaxed yet intellectually stimulating discussion. Get ready for some thought-provoking insights on how this sci-fi flick mirrors real-world dilemmas about choice and consequence, sprinkled with a healthy dose of wit!The dialogue begins with Amandi and the regular crew – TJ and Kevin – introducing their special guest, Thomas J. Ord, a leading voice in theology and philosophy. They jump right into the philosophical deep end, discussing how beliefs shape identities, akin to the narrative of 'Minority Report'. The film serves as a jumping-off point for a broader conversation about morality, justice, and the implications of predictive policing in a society that punishes individuals for crimes they haven't yet committed. The hosts grapple with the ethical dilemmas presented in the film, questioning the nature of free will in a world where the future seems predetermined by technology.As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that the hosts share a genuine camaraderie, interspersing serious philosophical discourse with light-hearted anecdotes about their personal experiences with the film. TJ's excitement about the latest zombie video game contrasts sharply with the weighty themes of the movie, providing a refreshing balance of humor and intellect. This blend of personal narrative and philosophical inquiry keeps listeners engaged while prompting them to reflect on the complexities of choice, morality, and the impact of technology on human behavior. The conversation flows naturally from one topic to another, showcasing the hosts' ability to intertwine their geeky interests with profound questions about society and justice.As the episode draws to a close, the hosts hint at a bonus segment that promises to delve deeper into the film's predictions about the future, inviting listeners to reflect on how these themes are already playing out in today's world. Their banter remains witty and relaxed, ensuring that even the most profound topics are accessible and engaging for all audiences. This episode not only serves as a tribute to 'Minority Report' but also encourages listeners to consider their own beliefs about morality, justice, and the choices they make in a rapidly changing world.Takeaways: The film 'Minority Report' raises profound questions about free will and determinism, making viewers ponder how much control we truly have over our actions. Dr. Thomas Jay Oord emphasizes that our beliefs often choose us, particularly regarding concepts of justice and morality, rather than the other way around. The discussion dives into the implications of predicting future crimes, questioning the morality of punishing individuals for actions they haven't yet committed. The precogs in 'Minority Report' present an intriguing paradox: while they can foresee future events, their visions are not infallible, reflecting the complexities of knowledge and free will. The hosts explore how the technology depicted in 'Minority Report' resonates with our current reality, especially as advancements in AI and surveillance become more prevalent. The conversation highlights...
Recently, I read a fantastic LinkedIn post by Francisco Perez van der Oord, the founder of ITQ, in which he explained why he believes in Broadcom's strategic direction and the VMware portfolio.

In this episode, Dr. Oord engages with some key paradigm shifts compatible with Open and Relational Theology in the book Evolution and Divine Love: The Eternal Becoming of God, Soul, and Matter written by Gaudiya Vaishnava monk, scholar and spiritual teacher Swami Bhakti Pranaya Padmanabha.Drawing from Hindu Devotional Vedanta, psychology, modern science, and mystical insights from multiple traditions, this bold and tender work reimagines the spiritual journey as a process of ever-deepening relationship—with the Divine, with the world, and with our evolving selves.
In this episode, Dr. Oord interacts with the new book from Greg Boyd and Scott Boren entitled God Looks Like Jesus: A Renewed Approach to Understanding God.In this accessible introduction to understanding the character of God, author Gregory A. Boyd, with M. Scott Boren, lays out the radical truth at the heart of this movement: the conviction that God looks like Jesus. In other words, in the life, ministry, and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, we see the embodiment of God's very essence—a love that is humble, other-oriented, and self-sacrificial.

In his book, Ambrosino provides us with the tools to understand and process grief but also presents a refreshing portrait of less a God of power, and more of one of persuasion, who can still provide a residue of hope in a world gone wrong.

This podcast episode represents the culmination of an enlightening journey into the notion of "amipotence," as articulated by Dr. Thomas J. Oord. On this Good Friday, we engage in a profound discourse regarding Dr. Oord's revolutionary ideas, which challenge the conventional understanding of divine omnipotence, positing instead that God embodies uncontrolling love. Our esteemed guests, Dr. Oord and Josh Patterson, join hosts Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell to explore the implications of these theological insights, particularly in relation to human agency and the nature of love. The conversation further delves into the narrative complexities presented by characters such as Kilgrave from Marvel's "Jessica Jones," fostering a rich dialogue around the intersections of power, control, and love. This episode not only reflects on previous discussions but also invites listeners to contemplate the broader implications of these ideas in their own lives and faith journeys.The episode culminates in a rich exploration of the intersection between theology, ethics, and popular culture, utilizing the character of Mr. Purple from the Jessica Jones series as a focal point for our discussions on control, love, and agency. In analyzing Mr. Purple's coercive abilities, we confront the ethical dilemmas posed by his actions and their implications for our understanding of divine love. I assert that if love is to be genuine, it must be free from coercion, prompting a reevaluation of how we perceive power in both divine and human contexts. This leads us to a critical examination of the premise that God's omnipotence should be reconceptualized as omnibenevolence—an all-encompassing love that respects the autonomy of creation. Through this lens, we invite our listeners to consider the transformative potential of adopting a theology that prioritizes relationality and love over mere power, ultimately fostering a more profound connection with the divine and with one another.Takeaways: Dr. Thomas J. Oord's concept of amipotence emphasizes God's nature as all-loving rather than all-powerful, fundamentally altering theological perspectives. In examining the implications of Jesus's sacrifice, we must confront the paradox of a suffering God and the nature of divine love. The discussions surrounding the character Kilgrave from Marvel comics serve as a poignant analogy for understanding coercive power versus loving influence in relationships. The panelists argue that true love cannot exist within a framework of coercion, highlighting the necessity of free will in authentic relationships. This episode serves as a culmination of previous dialogues, providing a comprehensive reflection on the evolution of thought regarding omnipotence and its alternatives. Dr. Oord invites listeners to engage with his forthcoming systematic theology of love, inviting community input on theological discourse. .Check out the episode of Systematic Geekology on Mr Purple and amipotence:https://systematic-geekology.captivate.fm/episode/from-omnipotence-to-amipotence-rethinking-divine-control-through-jessica-jones/.Listen to our earlier panel episode on Amipotence with Tom, Josh, Nick Polk, and Aaron Simmons:https://the-whole-church-podcast.captivate.fm/episode/amipotence-a-whole-church-panel-discussion/.Don't miss any of the episodes we have done with Tom Oord:
