Advertise on podcast: Deeply Spiritual but Rather Uncertain - with Skip Collins

Letting go of something that has had great significance in your life is hard to do. But clearly, there are times in life when letting go is the right thing to do. For me, this is one of those times, and so this will be the last episode in Deeply Spiritual but Rather Uncertain. Check out the episode to find out why.

Paul of Tarsus and Paul of Liverpool respond to the crisis in the church and the world.

In this final episode of this 3-part series, my great friend Mark Baber and I talk about the truth that really will set you free - transcend and include! It's that simple.  Here are the links to resources that we speak of in the podcast.  Ken Wilber - A Post-Truth World Ken Wilber - Integral Vision Rob Bell - Me, We, and Everybody Rob Bell - Me and Trace on a Thursday Afternoon Richard Rhor - The Wisdom Path

In this episode, Mark Baber and I unpack a little of Ken Wilber's Integral Theory and how it impacts our lives, our world, and our Christianity.

I think we can all agree the world feels a little messy right now. That confusion has spilled over into our relationships, our politics, our faith, and just about everything else. So how did we get here—and more importantly, how do we move forward? That’s what we’ll be digging into over the next three episodes, and I’m excited to be joined by my good friend, Mark Baber. In this first conversation, we’re taking on a big question: How has postmodernism failed us?

DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. But the acronym has become a noun for everything bad about America. That idea has penetrated both the conservative political world as well as the conservative Christian world. But the truth is that the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion have been Christian principles from the beginning, and we need to embrace them once again!

In Maga terms, greatness is defined as strength through power. Power to dominate, power to deport whoever they wish, power to defy the courts, power to bully and intimidate. But is that really greatness?

America First has been a very popular phrase since 2015 when Donald Trump first ran for President. So how does "America First" square with the Kingdom of God?

Most people around the world can tell you what Maga stands for. It has been embraced by most Christians in America, especially in evangelical circles. And those people - who I call Christian Maga - managed to elect Donald Trump as President last November. In my opinion, Christian Maga is neither Christian nor are they making America great. In fact, I am going on a limb here and suggesting that Christian Mega is following a Deepfake Jesus! In this first episode we are looking at one of Christian Mega’s favorite topics, immigration.

Welcome to a new series that I am calling Deepfake Jesus. Warning: this series is political.

In this episode, I interview my friend John Ellis of Tree 63 fame. We talk about the music and the spiritual journey of death and resurrection. Or as Father Richard Rhor loves to say, "order, disorder, and reorder". It's a journey of struggle and hope and a fantastic music catalog that speaks to it all.

What does it mean to be a Christian? That is the question we are unpacking and looking at what the Apostle Paul wrote about it, in possibly the first book of the New Testament ever penned.

Today we are starting a new series looking at passages of Scripture that I have always loved but with a new lens. Our first in this series is Romans 12:1-2.

You've probably heard the term "Progressive Christianity" somewhere along the way. But it's likely it wasn't in a positive context. So what is Progressive Christianity? What do they believe? Is it even Christian at all? In this episode Skip unpacks some of the core tenets of Progressive Christianity and how it is lived out in the life of a Christian.

In this episode, we explore the issues of gender identity, non-binary, trans, and more. Most importantly we look at what the Bible does not say and what it actually does say.   Email: [email protected] Website:  www.skipcollins.com Patreon:  www.patreon.com/skipcollins Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/skip.collins.927/ Instagram:  @skipcollins Threads: @skipcollins Twitter:  @skipinsa
