Advertise on podcast: When Belief Dies

It's time to stop, even though it breaks my heart. This episode serves as my reason why.   -Sam

Due to my (Sam's) mental health, I am taking a step back from When Belief Dies for now. An announcement video is due to go live on the 20th of April explaining why. The future live streams mentioned in these conversations have been cancelled until I am well again, but Daniel, Roger and I all thought these conversations were well worth sharing. The thumbnail number is wrong, as we had planned to release these in a different order - thank you for understanding. -Sam This week Sam and Roger sit down with Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes and talk about the space that is philosophy, psychedelics, theology, naturalism, materialism, atheism and Christianity.  This was a fantastic conversation, and I look forward to welcoming Peter back on the podcast in due course.   You can find/follow Peter here: Website Instagram Twitter Modes of Sentience (book) You can find/follow Roger here: Twitter We hope you enjoy our show.

The thumbnail number is wrong, as we had planned to release these in a different order - thank you for understanding. -Sam This week Roger speaks to award-winning writer and theologian Thomas Jay Oord about his view of open and relational theology.  They discuss whether love really is the ultimate reality of the universe and whether Tom’s notion of an uncontrolling God actually helps with the problem of evil.   Sadly, I (Sam) couldn't make this conversation due to being away in London for work. Roger and I spoke before the conversation and Roger agreed to ask a good few questions that I had after I read Thomas's book.   You can find/follow Thomas here: Website Twitter Open and Relational Theology (book) You can find/follow Roger here: Twitter We hope you enjoy our show.

This week Sam and Daniel are joined by Thomas Westbrook, who is also known as Holy Koolaid. Thomas' YouTube channel was one of the first that I (Sam) deep-dived into when I began to question my Christian heritage. In this conversation, we talk to Thomas about his journey, channel, beliefs and goals. It's an honest conversation that really gets at the heart of why people can leave a faith-based religious system and hold onto awe and wonder at the world around them.

This week Sam sits down with Roger and they begin to look at Roger's professional training, experience, and the trauma that many experiences in this life. This is a very honest conversation, and as such, some people might find the topics covered fairly intense. The video version of this conversation can be found here on our YouTube channel 12 hours after the audio version goes live. Roger's Bio: Dr Roger Bretherton is Principal Lecturer for Enterprise in the School of Psychology at the University of Lincoln. He worked as a  clinician, manager and trainer in the NHS for over a decade, and joined the  University of Lincoln in 2007, where he specialises in coaching and positive psychology.

This week Daniel and Sam sit down with Professor John Lennox to talk about his latest book Cosmic Chemistry. John has a problem with the classic neo-Darwinian view that is taught in schools and universities. He believes that leading evolutionary biologists are uncovering these issues and that the paradigm is going to change. The video version of this conversation can be found here on our YouTube channel 12 hours after the audio version goes live. I (Sam) really enjoyed Cosmic Chemistry and found this conversation to be really interesting.  There is a slight chance we can get John back onto the show in the future to talk to us about why he believes and why we don't, in greater detail - which would be a great chat!

Well - I managed to talk to Mike Licona in preparation for his upcoming debate with Bart Ehrman on the 9th of April 2022. I asked Mike all the same questions that I asked Bart, as well as a few more!
