Podcast appearances and mentions of Tony Jones

In this first session of "The Rise of the Nones" online class, I am joined by Ryan Burge, Tony Jones, and Sarah Lane Ritchie to introduce findings from the largest survey ever conducted on religiously unaffiliated Americans—over 15,000 participants. The research, funded by the John Templeton Foundation's Spiritual Yearning Research Initiative, used machine learning to identify four distinct categories of "Nones": NINOs (Nones In Name Only, who are actually quite religious), Spiritual But Not Religious (the largest group), the Disengaged (content secular individuals far from any religious or spiritual practice), and Zealous Secularists (a small but vocal group actively encouraging others to leave religion). The conversation explores what these categories reveal about American religious identity, why traditional survey methods may be undercounting Christians, and the surprising finding that many "happy atheists" report life satisfaction comparable to religious Americans. Join us for the remaining sessions of this class, where we'll dive deeper into each category with special guests—registration is donation-based, including $0, at www.AmericanNones.com.

Tad Delay came on to talk about his lecture from the Democracy in Tension summit, and we got into political philosophy and why democracy keeps sliding toward tyranny. Tad teaches Plato's Republic in his intro philosophy classes, and he makes this compelling case that Plato basically had us figured out - the fundamental problem is why do people desire their own servitude as though it were their salvation? We traced the history of democratic movements from the French Revolution through the revolutions of 1848 (which most people know nothing about), and Tad connected it all to our current moment with Gaza, Zionism, and how both parties seem to have lost any sense of shame about lying. The conversation got pretty dark but also weirdly hopeful - we talked about social media as a performance of fake happiness, the need to bring back shame about lying and abuse, and how billionaires like Peter Thiel don't even understand the basics of how power works. Plus we ended with the cheerful speculation that Trump could probably admit to his crimes and people would respect him more for it. Like I said, cheery stuff.

This conversation took place at Theology Beer Camp 2025 on artificial intelligence, moderated by Michael Morelli with Ben Chicka and Noreen Herzfield, and it's one of the most grounded conversations I've heard about AI from a theological perspective. Noreen has this incredible background in computer engineering before becoming a theologian, and she's not buying the Silicon Valley hype. They talked about how AI trained on human feedback becomes sycophantic and biased, how the whole AGI-by-2027 promise is already falling apart, and why the AI bubble is probably about to burst. But the hopeful part is this: they argued that AI can't replace the actual human connection that changes lives - the teacher who hands you the right book at the right time, the older person who shares a cassette that transforms you. Ben made this beautiful point about how we're all here because of little encounters that were mustard seeds, and AI can't replicate that kind of formation. Plus there was a computer programmer in the audience who basically said "there's no intelligence here, it's just yes/no questions" and everyone was like, exactly. It's neither artificial nor intelligent - it's just code.

Hey everybody, this is a special Christmas episode where I'm joined by Michael Morelli (Personalist Manifesto podcast) and Paul Hoard (professor at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology) for a live conversation about what the Incarnation has to say to our algorithmically-mediated moment. We get into Advent as a season of waiting in a world obsessed with immediacy and prediction—drawing on Lacan's understanding of desire, Hartmut Rosa on resonance, and Byung-Chul Han's "hell of the same" to explore how our devices have trained us to be unable to tolerate longing. We talk about incarnation versus ex-carnation (yes, we went there), why smoothness is a trap, how the manger subverts our fantasies of a powerful God, and what Bonhoeffer's Christ-reality hermeneutic might offer disciples trying to encounter genuine otherness in a world of narcissistic loops and NPC-ification. Paul brings the psychoanalytic heat on disgust, love, and why intimacy requires being changed by the other, and Michael reminds us that the cosmos hasn't actually been hijacked by Silicon Valley—despite appearances. We also talk about Black Mirror, The Good Place, board games, and whether Star Trek is secretly fascist. It's nerdy, it's hopeful, and it's exactly the kind of thing you need while driving to Christmas gatherings with sleeping family members in the car.

Tony answers the bat signal to join the guys and discuss the season so far. They discuss:- Keyonte George's ascension- Ace Bailey's development- The tankPlus they get into possible trade targets at the trade deadline and in the offseason.

What happens when the person preaching on Sunday morning believes something completely different than the folks sitting in the pews? Well friends, that's exactly what we're digging into today. My buddy Ryan Burge brought the graphs—including some brand new data that hasn't even dropped on his Substack yet—and let me tell you, it's a real deal predicament for Mainline Protestantism. Turns out about 60-70% of mainline clergy identify as liberal, but only about 25% of the people in the pews do. That's not a gap, that's a canyon. We're talking ELCA, UCC, PCUSA, Episcopalians—the whole crew. And look, Ryan and I are both mainline folks, so we're not throwing rocks across the river here. We're throwing rocks at our own faces. We get into why this disconnect exists, what the "silver tsunami" of aging Boomers means for these congregations, and why young progressive folks aren't joining our churches even though we thought we built them a home. It's honest, it's a little uncomfortable, and yeah, we also talk about Zion Williamson and Christmas movies because that's just how we roll. If you want to go deeper on where American religion is headed, join me and Ryan along with Tony Jones for our upcoming class The Rise of the Nones this January at www.AmericanNones.com. Come on. You can WATCH the conversation and see the graphs on YouTube Dr. Ryan Burge is a professor of practice at the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author or co-author of four books including The Nones, The American Religious Landscape, and The Great Dechurching. He has written for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and POLITICO.

I am SO excited about this episode. I got to sit down with Rian Johnson to talk about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and honestly? This might be my favorite conversation I've had all year. Not just because it's a blast of a film (which it absolutely is), but because Rian brought so much theological depth and personal wrestling to this project. I'm always looking for that sweet spot where great storytelling meets profound questions about faith, power, community, and what it means to be human. This film? It's the jackpot. I literally told Rian I now have an excuse to show a movie I genuinely enjoy in class and call it “movie day.” You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube The Film: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is now streaming on Netflix. Watch it. It's spectacular. Rian Johnson is an acclaimed writer-director best known for creating the Knives Out mystery franchise, including Knives Out (2019), Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025). His work is characterized by genre-bending storytelling that weaves together intricate plots with deep thematic exploration. Johnson's other notable films include Brick (2005), a neo-noir set in a high school; Looper (2012), a science fiction thriller; and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017). He also directed several critically acclaimed episodes of Breaking Bad, including the Emmy-winning “Ozymandias.” Raised in the evangelical church, Johnson draws on his formative religious experiences to explore themes of grace, moral complexity, and the tension between reason and faith in his work. He cites influences ranging from G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries to Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell's work on storytelling and myth. Known for his meticulous approach to storytelling—he still writes his screenplays longhand in notebooks—Johnson creates films that function as both wildly entertaining genre exercises and thoughtful examinations of contemporary moral and social questions. ⁠Join us at Theology Beer Camp, October 8-10, in Kansas City!⁠⁠ ⁠UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS: The Rise of the Nones⁠ One-third of Americans now claim no religious affiliation. That's 100 million people.  But here's what most church leaders get wrong: they're not all the same. Some still believe in God.

On this special Christmas edition of The Joy of Football, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett are joined by a table full of broadcasting royalty to share stories from life in the commentary box during the festive period. Recorded over dinner, the guys sit down with Bill Leslie, Tony Gale, Gary Taphouse, Sky Sports producer Nigel Dean, and host Tony Jones, all reflecting on what it's really like commentating on football at Christmas — the travel, the pressure, the mishaps, and the moments that still linger decades later. From missed flights, frantic dashes to kick-off, Boxing Day traffic nightmares and hotel Christmases, to the unique atmosphere of festive football and how the game — and crowds — have changed over the years, this is a rare behind-the-scenes look at football broadcasting during its most demanding time of year. There's also a heartfelt Letter From The Gantry, as Martin reflects on a lifetime of Christmas football memories — from his first match as a boy, to his early days as a commentator, and an unforgettable act of kindness from legendary West Ham manager John Lyall that has stayed with him ever since. A warm, nostalgic, and deeply personal episode — perfect listening for the festive period.

The list begins with Lorenzo Alcazar, played by Ted King, whose obsessive fixation on Carly led to multiple kidnapping scenarios and mental health crises.  Next is Franco Baldwin, originally played by James Franco and later by Roger Howarth, whose complicated relationship with Carly included a staged murder confession during their wedding. Third on the list is Tony Jones, Carly's stepdad turned lover, whose life was torn apart due to Carly's vengeful manipulation.  The fourth worst relationship is with AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan), the biological father of Carly's son, Michael. Carly's deceitful tactics to keep AJ away from their son led to a spiral of destructive events, resulting in AJ's death.  The worst of Carly's relationships is with Congressman Drew Cain, played by Cameron Mathison. Their relationship caused a significant shift in Drew's character, leading him down a dark and destructive path.  This episode was hosted by Belynda Gates-Turner for the #1 Soap Opera Channel, Soap Dirt.

She was stunned to learn that Carly—her husband's ex and the mother of her grandson, Michael—was actually her biological daughter, Caroline, whom she had given up years earlier. The revelation came after months of family tension surrounding Carly's pregnancy, Michael's health problems, and Jason's efforts to protect the baby from Tony Jones and the Quartermaines. The news forced Bobbie to face her past and reconsider her relationships with Luke and Tony. Despite everything, she continued to show compassion, especially toward Liz Webber after her assault.Later that year, Bobbie dealt with more upheaval as Tony kidnapped Michael, leading her to fight for her grandson's and son's safety. She slowly began to rebuild her relationship with Carly and started a new romance with Jerry Jacks. Between Tony's trial, Jerry's legal issues, and ongoing family problems, Bobbie stayed resilient. Through her work as a nurse, her role as a mother, and her ability to endure loss and change, Bobbie Spencer remained a strong and respected figure in Port Charles.Listen at GeneralHospitalPodcast.com #BobbieSpencer #GH1998 #GeneralHospital #PortCharles #CarlyCorinthos #CarolineBenson #LukeSpencer #TonyJones #JerryJacks #LucasJones #LizWebber #GHHistory #SoapOperaLegend #GHFamily #GHThrowback #JackieZemanThis podcast is not endorsed by, directly affiliated with, maintained, authorized, or sponsored by ABC Television Network, Prospect Studios, or any official General Hospital organizations.

In this episode, we dive into the controversy surrounding Tony Jones, the Emergent Church, and The New Evangelicals. From past allegations of abuse and manipulation to the recent GRACE investigation into Tim Whitaker and TNE, we examine how power, silence, and image protection can cause deep harm—even in progressive faith spaces.
