Monday Dec 20, 2021
Monday Dec 20, 2021
We've talked about "resonance" a lot on the podcast, but what does it look like in the real world?
This week Andy shares a personal story from a family trip to Hawaii featuring messy dolphins and finding beauty in the midst of it all.

What a Year It Has Been
Friday Dec 03, 2021
Friday Dec 03, 2021
We're back from summer break with a new batch of episodes and it's....been....quite the year.
There's a lot going on with the global COVID pandemic, political turmoil, issues of equality and justice, and more. And so to kick things off, Andy talks about the perspective thinkers like Taylor and Rosa can give us during historic times like these. Also - did you know that dogs tell time through smell?

Andy's Movie Club: Brad's Status
Tuesday Jun 29, 2021
Tuesday Jun 29, 2021
It's the middle of summer and who knows if we'll ever watch movies in the theater again. But...we DO have another episode of Andy's Movie Club featuring a movie that you can stream at-home and watch along with us!
This time we're watching the Amazon original movie "Brad's Status" starring Ben Stiller. If you're old like us you'll love it and identify with Brad and his mid-life crisis. If you're under 35 you'll probably think Brad is a selfish jerk. But still give it a shot!
The movie is all about resonance, relationships, being vs. having, and finding the good life. It's almost like Hartmut Rosa and Charles Taylor wrote the darn thing!
This summer Andy is also teaming up with Homebrewed Christianity's Tripp Fuller for an on-line pop-up learning community. Check it out at:

Sin in the Age of Authenticity
Tuesday Apr 13, 2021
Tuesday Apr 13, 2021
How does sin work in the Age of Authenticity? And why are both grace and sin eclipsed in a secular age? We dig into the listener mailbag this week to explore all that and more. Huge shout-out to Zoe for the great question this week.

The Congregation in a Secular Age
Thursday Feb 04, 2021
Thursday Feb 04, 2021
The trilogy is complete. Andy's *brand new* book - the Congregation in a Secular Age - is out now. It's book #3 in his Secular Age trilogy and, unlike other third installments of trilogies, features no Ewoks whatsoever.
Some of the themes are familiar to listeners of the pod, but we took a turn and got into some fascinating talk about ministry & the pandemic.

Andy saw Pixar's Soul over Christmas break and can't wait to talk about it. It's a beautiful film with wonderful reflections on life, love, and ministry. Spoilers abound, so be sure to watch the movie before diving in!

Wednesday Dec 23, 2020
It's a karate episode for Christmas!
Dr. Andrew Root has been watching Cobra Kai lately and sees a big connection between the evil dojo & Charles Taylor's triangle of Humanism vs. Neo-Nietzscheanism vs. Transcendance.
And, truth be told, this Taylor's triangle reaches far beyond Netflix 80s revival shows. Join Andy & Derek as they hop on zoom for a socially distanced new episode.

What Do Pastors Do All Week?
Monday Nov 16, 2020
Monday Nov 16, 2020
What do pastors do all week? In the world of the Immanent Frame - where the only thing that matters is what you can touch and see - this question doesn't have a great answer.
What does ministry look like in a secular world with the immanent frame? How can waiting for God to act actually be the faithful response? And where does Karl Barth fit in to all of this?
Find out as we socially distance on Andy's deck discussing this and more on this episode of New Time Religion.
Also - the listener hotline is still open. Give us a call at 651-800-1089 and we might use your question months from now!

We dig into the mailbag again for a great question on the Church and buildings. Do we need them? And do we do when the local church closes down and becomes a Chili's? Or a Boston Pizza if you're in Canada...
