Fantastic for Tori Owens and I to meetup with Danny Bryant today to talk about his book Unless a Seed Falls to the Ground: Welcoming the Death of the Whiteness Gospel. The book shares both the wounds and rewards of being a native son of a puritanical way of life with the hope of inviting others into a season of hospice in a way that allows it to die with dignity. It's a solid and important read (and this conversation is, too). We talk about how the system isn't broken; rather, it's working as it's been designed to work, how each of us are in the middle of trying to process the violence currently running rampant in our country, navigating these issues with family members who approach politics and religion in different ways than we do, and more.

Thanks everyone,
Jonathan

It was great to have Jim Palmer on talking about meaning making, the role of God, love, how atheism can get it wrong, religion, nihilism, and Costa Rica! Find him on Substack with thousands and thousands of followers and also on Amazon or Facebook. Jim is a good friend of mine and I'm really glad we were able to carve out an hour with him.

I had a great time talking with the Dr. John Pohl about what the microbiome might say about metaphysics (and metaphysics about the microbiome). Not to mention prehension, panentheism, and panexperientialism and a host of other things!

I hope you'll check it out, find him on Substack, and read his dissertation turned book, which is called A Theology of the Microbiome: An Intersection of Divinity and the Microbial Life Within Us.
