Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Young

When your image of God is shaped more by fear than by love, something has to change. In this thought-provoking episode of the AVAIL Podcast, we're joined by Paul Young—author of The Shack and Lies We Believe About God, and founder of the William Paul Young Initiative. Paul opens up about his deeply personal journey through addiction, infidelity, and pain—and how it all led him to discover the transformative power of God's unconditional love. Together with host Virgil Sierra, Paul explores the lies we carry about God, the importance of questioning without losing faith, and how living in the present moment helps us truly experience the Divine. This episode is a must-listen for anyone craving a more honest, grace-filled faith.

Bakker is back, and he wants you to argue better! "Can't we all get along?" sounds like one of the most naive questions in the world, but in truth, it's one of the most Christlike things we can do. Our guest Jay Bakker, punk-rock pastor, author, and independent scholar, has long been a champion of arguing well, giving others grace, and also calling out intolerance--both on the right and on the left. In this conversation, we dig into what is going on in our country, the deep and wounding polarization, and the lessons we can learn from how figures ranging from Paul to MLK Jr to John Hume to our beloved Tammy Faye (Jay's mom) found a foundation for dialogue in the midst of the conflicts of their times. Jay Bakker is the pastor and founder of Revolution Gathering (https://revolutionchurch.com/), a radically inclusive online community of believers and seekers who want to do church in a way that fits their values, without the partisanship and division. He's on YouTube with his latest message every week--go watch, like, and subscribe at https://www.youtube.com/@revolutionbroadcasting! Jay is also the author of "Son of a Preacher Man", which recounts his experience growing up as the son of famed televangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker, and the more recent books "Fall to Grace: A Revolution of God, Self & Society" and "Faith, Doubt, and Other Lines I've Crossed."  Find your guides at Quoir Academy!

On March 10, a demolition crew tore up the pavement of Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington DC, and Reverend Starlette Thomas was there to bear witness. With this moment of government-ordered erasure as our starting point, we talk with Thomas about the protest and community that happened on that very ground after the killing of George Floyd in 2020—and why recent history has made many African-American protestors avoid the recent “Hands Off” rallies across the country. In this fiery and revelatory conversation, Thomas explains how our “color-coded” society is a facade for a destructive caste system, how those who are “racialized” with the identity of “white body supremacy” need to squelch the voices of others to stay in power, and makes the case for finding our holy “somebodyness” in something other than race.Starlette Thomas is an author, activist, visual artist, and race abolitionist. She is also editor and director of the Raceless Gospel Initiative. She regularly preaches and teaches throughout the country and her sermons have been featured by Sojourners and other publications. Starlette is also a contributing author for the book Faith Forward: A Dialogue on Children, Youth & a New Kind of Christianity and author of the the book, “Take Me to the Water”: The Raceless Gospel as Baptismal Pedagogy for a Desegregated Church (Nurturing Faith).

We are so glad to welcome back Melanie Hood-Wilson, DEI consultant and educator, to talk about her work and mission in the midst of the current administration's attacks on programs it calls “Radical and Wasteful.” Melanie is incisive, bold, and clearly lays out the issues we're facing as America “says the quiet part out loud”, the core issues of identity and belonging that are driving the backlash against DEI programs, and opens up the possibilities for things that all of us can do to help ensure that our companies and organizations include every qualified candidate, without preferencing or shutting out anyone because of their identity. Melanie is the leader of Melanie Hood-Wilson and Associates, a “consulting company providing services designed to teach, enlighten, and change lives through teaching, learning, diversity, equity, and inclusion.” She and her team are dedicated to helping organizations improve their cultural competency and increase the representation of communities of color, women, individuals with differing abilities, the LGBTQIA community, and those of diverse religious and national backgrounds.

Tamice Spencer-Helms (they/she) riffs on wisdom. They take us on a vast, universe-spanning theological journey that is rooted in our bodies, our ancestry, and our feet right here on the ground. In the church and in our culture in America, there is something hidden and pervasive, Tamice says, and it will continue to eat at us until we find it, name it, and respond to it. Efforts to address it through the lens of race or through the lens of economics only scratch the surface. The “leaven” that contaminates our systems is deeper than that, based we relate to ourselves, to God, and to one another. It's a wild ride! Tamice unleashes some wisdom that will have you thinking long after you've finished listening.Tamice Spencer-Helms (they/she) is a theologian, public speaker, curriculum developer, and consultant based in Richmond, Virginia, with over two decades of experience in young adult leadership, spiritual innovation, and social change. She is the founder of the Soulful Leadership Project, Sub:Culture Inc., and the R.E.S.T. Mixtape. Tamice is also known for their contributions to theoactivism and the philosophy of religion. In February 2021, they published their powerhouse debut, Faith Unleavened: The Wilderness Between Trayvon Martin & George Floyd, and host the Life After Leaven podcast.

For Kevin Sweeney (author, speaker, spiritual director), Christian faith is all about experiencing God, not in having abstract beliefs about God. And the experiences that have kept him a Christian, even after his first dogmatic teachings about the Bible fell by the wayside, have been at the intersection of the great, transcendent, mystical Cosmic Christ, and the real, authentic, liberating, earthly Concrete Jesus. Kevin talks with us about fading back from a front-and-center role as a pastor to being a servant and part of the whole body of Christ, as a writer and hospice chaplain helping people transition into their next phase. And he also talks with us about how tangible, boots-on-the ground liberation theology—particularly Black theology taught by James Cone, Kelly Brown Douglas, and others—has kept him grounded in the understanding that love is real, love is now, and love is active in this world. Jesus isn't here just to save our individual souls, he tells us. Without liberation, there is no Jesus. Listen for this great perspective on how the cosmic vision and real world works of faith can be reconciled into a single cohesive Christian faith. Kevin is the author of the new book, “Cosmic Christ and Cosmic Jesus,” which is available for pre-order and will be released in May 2025. He is also the author of the previous books “The Making of a Mystic: My Journey With Mushrooms, My Life as a Pastor, and Why It's Okay for Everyone to Relax” and “The Joy of Letting Go: How One Thing Has the Power to Change Everything.” He is also the host of “The Church Needs Therapy” podcast, and co-founder of Imagine Church in Honolulu.

A lo-fi version of the show this week, as Dori had a bumper bashing that did not lead to Adventures in Babysitting-style shenanigans.Dolph Lundgren dons a wig and teases Paulo, while Dori is intrigued by the most banned movie of all time — which just happens to be from the '80s and also happens to sound like a Berlin techno club.We take the time to remember Val Kilmer's most '80s — and '80s-adjacent — movies. Plus, we recap all the lovely acts of charity performed by George Michael, which raised the question: £25,000 or a cappuccino with Georgios?We also find out that the crowd at a Journey concert just goes on and on and on… while Paul Young goes nowhere without holding onto the railings.Jump to: - Dolph Lundgren is a tease (00:02:40) - Silent Album Protest (00:05:00) - Necromantic (00:10:30) - Val Kilmer Tribute (00:15:25) - George Michael's Generosity (00:30:10) - Journey Concert Fire (00:34:36) - Paul Young's Injury (00:36:14)https://movieweb.com/masters-of-universe-dolph-lundgren-cameo-tease/https://english.elpais.com/culture/2025-02-25/thousands-of-british-artists-back-silent-album-against-ai-is-this-what-we-want.html?outputType=amphttps://www.imdb.com/video/vi1319420697/?playlistId=tt0089886&ref_=ext_shr_lnkhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14200643/George-Michaels-kindness-remembered-Christmas-star-funded-IVF-hopefuls-treatment-paid-strangers-25-000-debt-changed-ladys-car-tyre-rain.htmlhttps://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/2027884/beloved-80s-band-concert-abruptly-haltedhttps://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/2028556/paul-young-age-hospital-fall

“The Tattooed Theologian” has something to say about all of it: racism, LGBTQIA bigotry, ecology, capitalism, fundamentalism, Christian nationalism, “F*CKWITTERY” & the questions — and revelations — that drive his work.

Send us a textWhat does it take to rise from hourly employee to respected corporate analyst at a retail giant like Best Buy? Paul Young's remarkable 24-year journey reveals powerful leadership lessons that transcend retail and apply to any organization navigating today's complex business landscape.Born in Jamaica and immigrating to the United States to attend the University of North Carolina, Paul's path to leadership began with a simple but profound observation from an early mentor who recognized that Paul's integrity in personal relationships would translate beautifully to business leadership. This moment of recognition changed everything, setting Paul on a trajectory that would eventually position him as a trusted guide during Best Buy's most challenging periods.When the pandemic devastated supply chains and disrupted retail operations, Paul brought something invaluable to his analytics role – actual store experience and a deep appreciation for human relationships in business. While data-focused colleagues exhausted digital contact methods, Paul understood the powerful connections between salespeople and long-term customers. His approach revealed a cornerstone of his leadership philosophy: complete transparency. "Just tell the truth," he emphasizes. "I don't care how bad things are."The conversation takes fascinating turns as Paul reveals his methodology for training new employees and implementing organizational change. Rather than using cookie-cutter approaches, he treats each person as unique, studying what motivates them individually. "You have to be a pseudo-psychologist," he notes, explaining how he gets people talking and then listens actively to understand their perspectives and concerns.Perhaps most powerfully, Paul reflects on the value of occasionally pausing to evaluate one's professional journey. After decades of "tunnel vision" moving from project to project, his recent self-reflection allowed him to see the path he created and recognize the value of his accumulated wisdom. For anyone feeling stuck in day-to-day work without seeing their broader trajectory, this conversation offers a compelling reason to step back and take inventory of your journey.Ready to transform your approach to leadership? Listen now and discover why human connection remains the ultimate competitive advantage in business.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Has the US become a bad place to be a Christian? In a recent NY Times feature, writer Aaron Renn, who has been called the "Malcolm Gladwell of Conservative Christianity," claims that America has shifted into a "negative world" where Christianity is a social liability. In this episode, Mark and Kelly wrestle with this idea that Christianity is losing its cultural dominance in the US. We cover a range of topics such as the prevalence of Christianity (a recent PRRI study asserts that 2/3 of Americans identify as Christian), Christian nationalism, persecution, tolerance, inclusion, privilege and power, the response of Progressive Christians, and what it even means to be a Christian in the first place.

Paul Young has carried on a deceptively diverse solo career since he first broke out in 1983. He's had many big hits - especially the #1 "Everytime You Go Away - but his work has never fit nicely in one box. Whether it's his work with Pino Palladino or his TexMex band, he does what he wants and his talent carries him through. He's about to embark on a UK tour singing and telling stories about his first two albums. And this summer he's touring the US with Rick Springfield. And he put out a new album in 2023. He's been busy! He joins us this week to discuss all of it including his recent marriage, Band-Aid, his early punk days and a ton more. He's a total pro and one of the great soul singers of the era.

(Part 2 of 2) Sometimes faith just doesn't fit within the church walls—or it even breaks those walls down. This week we talk with Jon Turney, co-host of the popular THIS IS NOT CHURCH podcast, which challenges mainstream religious narratives and flips a few tables along the way. We talk about so many things we needed two episodes (!), including deconstruction and reconstruction, the religion we'd have if we were lost in space, how empathy changes us when we know people instead of objectifying them, rocking out in the SBC and maintaining friendships with faith leaders we disagree with, the jump from guilt to hyper-grace, and more. Jon Turney, a former worship and associate pastor, and the co-host of the popular This Is Not Church podcast. Nestled in the tranquility of Northern California, Jon resides with his incredible wife, his three adult children, and a lively assortment of grand pets. Beyond his roles in faith and podcasting, Jon finds inspiration on his 23-acre slice of heaven, where he explores the depths of nature, the cosmos, and his own thoughts. Jon is also the author of the thought-provoking science fiction novel RJ the Astronaut (Quoir publishing).

How does one learn to love the Bible again? For Liz Charlotte Grant, it is almost like a story from a movie: girl meets Bible, falls in love, discovers Bible's secret past, falls out of love with Bible, but eventually realizes she was really in love the whole time, once she learned how to look at the Bible in a new way. This is an eye-opening conversation about how the tools that scholars have used throughout the history of scripture, with names like Hermeneutic and Midrash and Eisegesis, helped bring the Bible back to life after deconstruction, and reconnect Grant with the essence of what she loved most about scripture.Liz Charlotte Grant is an award-winning nonfiction writer based in Colorado, USA. Her debut nonfiction book, Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the Bible, was released by Eerdmans Publishing Co. on January 7, 2025. In 2024, she wrote a viral article chronicling the disturbing third marriage of an icon of white American evangelical purity culture, "Elisabeth Elliot, Flawed Queen of Purity Culture, and Her Disturbing Third Marriage," the Revealer Magazine, a publication of the Center for Religion and Media at New York University. Grant's Substack newsletter, the Empathy List, has received recognition from the Webby Awards and the Best of the Church Press Awards. Her work has also appeared in outlets such as the Huffington Post, Religion News Service, Hippocampus Magazine, Brevity, Sojourners, the Christian Century, Christianity Today, US Catholic, National Catholic Reporter. Find more of Liz Charlotte's work at:https://lizcharlotte.com/ https://www.threads.net/@lizcharlottegrant https://www.instagram.com/lizcharlottegrant https://www.facebook.com/lizcharlottegrant Find your guides at Quoir Academy!

Is there spirituality after deconstruction? Public theologian and “ecclesiastical disrupter” Dana Hicks shares the story of his exploration of the ways in which the post-deconstruction or post-Christian soul can find those “thin places”—areas in our lives where we can connect with the divine without dogma or fundamentalism—where practices such as meditation, service, and (perhaps) the occasional mushroom can dissolve the ego and help one remember one's place as part of the larger creation. (And that creation also includes Mark's new puppy, who, if you listen closely, you may hear squeaking a tennis ball in the background.) Dana Robert Hicks the Amazon best-selling author of The Quest for Thin Places: How to Find Spirituality after Deconstruction (SacraSage Press). His writings revolve around the themes of culture, change, and spirituality. For over 30 years, he served as a church planter, pastor, university professor, and leadership developer. He is the President of The Open Table Network - a progressive network that ordains faith leaders so they can be people of love within communities of love. He is also the Chief Operating Officer for Azura - a social services agency that exists to alleviate poverty in the State of Arizona. Find your guides at Quoir Academy!

In this episode, we unpack the second log (lie) that Paul Young believes is what prevents people from living in the flow of their union with God. 

In this episode we delve into such topics as how we continue to search for meaning and purpose in a post-truth world, how humans often find something to worship even in the absence of God, and how the power of imagination and story can help us find that which is true as we face each new day. Maria Francesca French is the author of Safer than the Known Way: A Post-Christian Journey and Reconfiguring: A Collection of Post-Christian and Theologies (Quoir Publishing). She has spent her career in theological education as both professor and administrator, holding two MAs and a DMin. Maria has worked in innovative church contexts, planting, and denominational leadership focused on the intersections of faith and culture. Offering new forums for faith engagement and theological imagination that are viable and sustainable for an uncertain future, exploring Radical Theology and post-theist thought for the present and future of faith. Dr John Thatamanil is Associate Professor of Theology and World Religions at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. He is the author of Circling the Elephant: A Comparative Theology of Religious Diversity (Fordham University Press) and The Immanent Divine: God, Creation, and the Human Predicament; An East–West Conversation (Fortress). He teaches a wide variety of courses in the areas of comparative theology, theologies of religious diversity, Hindu-Christian dialogue, the theology of Paul Tillich, theory of religion, and process theology. He is committed to the work of comparative theology―theology that learns from and with a variety of traditions. A central question that drives his work is “How can Christian communities come to see religious diversity as a promise rather than as a problem?”Find your guides at Quoir Academy!

In this episode, we unpack the first log (lie) that Paul Young believes is what prevents people from living in the flow of their union with God. 

It's our 100th episode! We celebrate this milestone with a lively conversation with our first guest speakers, two innovative spiritual thinkers who helped us launch the first Radical Love Live event 5 years ago. We welcome back author, minister, and post-Christian thinker Maria Francesca French and scholar, author, theologian, and minister John Thatamanil to revisit the first topics we took on at the beginning of this project—Crisis and Change—and to check in on how our world and the state of faith has changed since we first spoke. In this episode we delve into such topics as how we continue to search for meaning and purpose in a post-truth world, how humans often find something to worship even in the absence of God, and how the power of imagination and story can help us find that which is true as we face each new day.

In this compelling episode of Radical Love Live, hosts Mark Dilcom and Kelly Wilson sit down with Nicole Doyley, author of What About the Children, to discuss her powerful journey as a biracial child of a Black father and a White mother during a time when interracial marriage was still illegal in parts of the United States. Nicole shares intimate reflections on how her family's silence around race shaped her experience and why it's vital for families—and society as a whole—to embrace honest, sometimes uncomfortable, conversations about race.  Today, Nicole is a mother of two teenagers, and navigating this conversation within her own family.Together, we explore the emotional impact of being biracial, the challenges of navigating identity, and the importance of dismantling silence that perpetuates racial harm. Nicole also delves into how these conversations align with the Christian faith tradition, reminding us that avoiding hard truths is contrary to the radical love and justice we are called to embody.This episode is a heartfelt invitation to confront racial dynamics with courage, vulnerability, and a commitment to transformative dialogue. Tune in for a conversation that challenges us all to step into the messy, beautiful work of reconciliation and justice.  You can find Nicole and her books at www.NicoleDoyley.com.   Nicole also hosts a podcast, Let's Talk:  Conversations on Race, which can be found on Apple and Spotify.

Most roads don't lead anywhere” – and then adds, “What it does mean that I will travel any road to find you.”(Wm.

In this powerful episode of Radical Love Live, we sit down with Paul Darminio, an ordained minister (for now) in the Church of the Nazarene, chaplain at an inpatient behavioral health center in New Jersey, and PhD candidate at Northwind Theological Seminary. As a cisgender hetero man, married with two teenagers, Paul shares his evolving faith journey and deep commitment to a religious worldview that embraces all people as God's beloveds, including queer individuals often excluded by traditional church doctrines.Paul opens up about his own struggles with depression and the experience of being an outsider, offering a raw and empathetic perspective that informs his ministry today. He discusses the mounting tension between his inclusive beliefs and the anti-queer stances of the Nazarene Church—a conflict that ultimately become one of his reasons to resign.  The breaking point was a shocking scandal where church leadership chose to cover up a case of sexual abuse instead of reporting it to authorities.Now, Paul focuses his energy as a chaplain, where he provides spiritual care with a special tenderness for queer patients. He also reflects on the work of the Open Table Network and his vision for a future where radical love and justice replace exclusion and silence.Join us for an honest and hopeful conversation about faith, accountability, and what it means to truly embody God's radical love.
