In today's long overdue conversation, I speak with best-selling author & speaker Brian D. McLaren about his book "Do I Stay Christian?: A Guide for the Doubters, the Disappointed, and the Disillusioned." Brian says, "In a period of rapid cultural and intellectual change, having a religion that's set up and run by change-averse people creates an interesting set of challenges." We address some of the book's questions, like "Why go?", "Why stay?", and "How do we move forward?" We also cover topics like adaptability, lack of transformation, and choosing not to play by traditional hermeneutic 'rules of the game.'

*Re-broadcast* - Why I Am (Still) a Christian (#60) I’m joined by my dear friend Ben Bishop, who is both a fantastic interviewer in his own right and a former patron-only episode guest. I asked Ben to interview me on the topic of why I am (still) a Christian. No one ever asks me, “Why are you a Christian?” Or very rarely, anyway. But pretty regularly, in the context of conversations about deconstruction or Biblical inerrancy or something similar, people will ask, “Why are you *still* a Christian?” I thought it might be helpful to answer that and give one more data point for listeners as they figure out their own faith allegiances, theologies, etc. We talk about religious/Christian pluralism a good bit, as that is particularly interesting to Ben, and toward the end is when I give probably my most succinct answer to the question, drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord’s Prayer, and other basics I don’t think I could live without. Feel free to skip forward to 1 hour or so if you want to hear that concise answer before going into the weeds with us.

Joining me today is Rev. Dr. Brian Kaylor to discuss his book "Presidential Campaign Rhetoric in an Age of Confessional Politics."

In today's delightful conversation with author Erin S. Lane, we talk about her new book "Someone Other Than a Mother: Flipping the Scripts on Woman's Purpose and Making Meaning beyond Motherhood." Erin walks us through the book's critiques of cultural scripts around motherhood and womanhood, offering real alternatives. We also cover theological implications, biological desire, bell curves, and how gender beliefs inform our perceptions of woman's role in modern society.

Author and journalist Bekah McNeel joins me today to discuss her book "Bringing up Kids When Church Lets You Down: A Guide for Parents Questioning Their Faith." Bekah says, "we need to see our children as people with emotional realities and needs, and how we communicate love has to take that into account."

One of the four answered questions for the most recent Patreon exclusive episode, focused on personal growth around egoistic tendencies. To become a patron and hear the other three questions answered, head to Patreon.com/dankochThe four questions in the full episode are:1. Could you talk about the effects on the brain (positive and negative) of things like Centering Prayer, Breath work, meditation etc?2. What books are you reading?3. I'd love to hear more about your spiritual experiences and why you feel confident deriving faith from them rather than completely ascribing them to "mere" material brain phenomenon.4. What are you learning about managing (or healing) your egoic strategies (I hesitate to call it arrogance, even though you call it that sometimes), without self shaming or denial -- about how to actively confront personal weaknesses?

Caitlin Olsen (marriage and family therapist) joins me today to discuss her research on betrayal trauma in religious contexts.

Listeners of this show will know I'm not shy about my Enneargream skepticism. Well, today I'm joined by Jay Medenwaldt (Master in Psychological Sciences - Baylor University) who has done some actual legwork on the topic, compiling studies that have tested the reliability and validity of the Enneagram. Jay expounds on this research and walks us through some "not so popular" critiques of The Enneagram. We also cover physiological bias, introspection tools, attachment styles, and more.Jay's short Enneagram article: https://randalrauser.com/2020/02/the-enneagram-a-window-into-the-soul-or-a-waste-of-time/More detail: https://www.jaymedenwaldt.com/2019/01/the-enneagram-science-and-christianity.htmlBarnum effect and astrology: https://nesslabs.com/barnum-effect#:~:text=Barnum.,Effect%2C%20after%20psychologist%20Bertram%20ForerAttachment Style Quiz: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/tests/relationships/relationship-attachment-style-testOther Tests: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/testsHEXACO (like Big Five) test: https://www.idrlabs.com/hexaco/test.phpRegister for Theology Beercamp ($50 off registration with code “YHP”):http://theologybeer.camp/Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Hosted on Acast.

One of my best friends' dads, Joe Bishop (pastor & therapist), is joining me today to discuss deconstruction for the boomer generation. Joe says, "There's a real lack of resources for people going through faith deconstruction in their 50s or older."

Today I'm re-joined by author Ryan Burge to discuss his new book "20 Myths About Religion and Politics in America." Ryan talks about how 'Born again' has become its own brand, ethos & style of thinking and how Evangelicalism is still the dominant form of Christianity in America. We also talk about cynicism, institutional trust, the role plausibility structures have played in American Evangelicalism, and more.Ep 109 with Ryan: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000513058453Ryan's Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/ryanburgeRyan’s Author Page: http://ryanburge.net/20 Myths Book: https://www.amazon.com/Myths-about-Religion-Politics-America/dp/1506482015/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3QBD12BES2J4&keywords=the+nones+ryan+burge&qid=1655855785&s=books&sprefix=the+nones+ryan+burg%2Cstripbooks%2C82&sr=1-2 The Nones Book: https://www.amazon.com/Nones-Where-They-Came-Going/dp/1506465854/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3QBD12BES2J4&keywords=the+nones+ryan+burge&qid=1655855756&s=books&sprefix=the+nones+ryan+burg%2Cstripbooks%2C82&sr=1-1Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Hosted on Acast.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Jesse Fox (Stenson University) to discuss his “spiritual bypass” research in the growing field of religion and its relationship to health. Jesse says spiritual bypassing includes "[Spiritually] taking something out of context and misapplying it." We also touch on mindfulness, spiritual narcissism, and including/transcending.Jesse’s Faculty Page: https://www.stetson.edu/other/faculty/jesse-fox.phpFollow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Hosted on Acast.

Today I'm rejoined by listener (and personal) favorite Heather Patton Griffin (Episode #123) to apply her conceptual framework to the recent abuse report issued by Guidepost Solutions about The Southern Baptist Convention. “Emotionalism," "Maturity Badges," and "Easy Knowledge" are concepts we cover that have often enabled abuse in church settings. We apply these and other concepts to the SBC scandal.*Correction* from Heather's report summary: https://twitter.com/hlgriffin/status/1531340223283712003?s=20&t=x2kckurbfpo4BYRPVG23wwHeather’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/hlgriffinHeather’s “Bible Truths”… Episode (#123):https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000526264766Spiritual Harm and Abuse Scale Handout:https://www.dankochwords.com/spiritual-abuse-screener.htmlRob Downen Twitter Thread:https://twitter.com/RobDownenChron/status/1529084743727325184?s=20&t=tEu4MgAVY4BqwsidISyYdAFollow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Hosted on Acast.

Rejoining me today is my friend Oliver Crisp, principal of St. Mary's college and the head of the school of divinity at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Oliver helps us wade through theologically dense waters, comparing terms like original guilt and original sin. We also look at specific theologians' views like Augustine, Calvin, etc., and address the implications of these beliefs in today's context.Oliver’s Book - Word Enfleshed: Exploring the Person and Work of Christ: https://www.amazon.com/Word-Enfleshed-Exploring-Person-Christ/dp/0801098092Oliver’s YHP Episode - To Give Reformed Theology a Fair Hearing: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000447230064Tom McCall’s Book - Against God and Nature: https://www.perlego.com/book/1414191/against-god-and-nature-the-doctrine-of-sin-pdf?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&campaignid=15825112969&adgroupid=132780878595&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm6KUBhC3ARIsACIwxBgXy64YJXjR-pVZBBNo4n4yx9Eu7uNiuu4SDGvxnw04fuKJSLK43L0aApzIEALw_wcBNP Williams Book - The Ideas of the Fall and Orignal Sin: A Historical and Critical Study: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31042598152&searchurl=kn%3DWilliams%252C%2BThe%2Bideas%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bfall%2Band%2Bof%2Boriginal%2Bsin%2BA%2Bhistorical%2Band%2Bcritical%2Bstudy%26sortby%3D20&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Hosted on Acast.
