Podcasts: Exploring Faith from a Global Perspective

Becky Garrison is releasing a series of podcasts on the theme of her new book Jesus
Died 4 This?
The first podcasts include an interview with me that Becky did last year in Poland at our Roundtable for emerging church leaders. Its called “Exploring Faith from a Global Perspective” and when you have finished listening, check out the other podcasts that include my friends Trevor McPherson (Canada) and Florian Honisch (Germany)

And get the book – Jesus Died 4 This: A Satirists Search for the Risen Christ. Its really good. In fact, I think Christian satire is one of the bright hopes for the future of Christian publishing and this book does it well. Except when Becky calls me a “granola crunching hippie” which I have to disagree strongly with – I crunch on potato chips, not granola! But the rest of the book is great!

    Florian Hoenisch is in this case actually called Henrik Begemann 😉
    Looking forward to meet you and your family on freakstock …

    Yep Katja you are right – I sent the email re: this to Florian as I didn’t have Henrik’s email address. But it’s clear I interviewed Henrik about Freakstock. 🙂
    Andrew – If I said you ate potato chips that would imply that you are a couch potato. And I didn’t use the word “crunching” – what I said was “at first glance, this contemporary hippie may come off as a bit too granola and generous–preaching peace and passing out daises. But hang around this Tall Skinny Kiwi for a while and you’ll realize he might look like a Jesus Freak but he’s definitely not stuck in the sixties.”
    In lieu of the usual experts quoted here in the US as the go-to guys for new forms of church I quote Jonny Baker and Andrew. That’s one way I was trying to shift the paradigms and get folks seeing with new lenses. So, I will take full responsibility if Andrew starts to get a big head for being touted as an “expert.” 🙂 🙂
    BTW-I am holing off launching additional podcasts a bit until this gets approved by iTunes. I had to prep an episode in order to submit it to them. Future interviews include Jonny Baker, Ian Nicholson (24/7 Prayer), Steve Hollinghurst, Mark Berry, Jeannine Otis, Mark Fletcher, Steve Collins, David Hayward (Naked Pastor)… except for a few folks like Phyllis Tickle, most of the folks are names that aren’t bandied about here in US circles. And that’s the point. 🙂

    Henrik and Trevor’s podcast aren’t posted – I assume this means they won’t upload more than 1 per day. Good to know moving forward that I can only load one at a time.
