Speed theology for disquieted souls

This has become one of my favorite podcasts. I look forward to my Monday evening commute back home because it typically posts Monday andI find myself disappointed if its not posted when I get to the car. There’s a lot to like about the group of folks who put this together. The cohosts Mike and Bonnie are genuine, vulnerable Jesus followers who obviously love the church but thinks it important that there is a space to discuss issues that separate Christians or put the church at odds with its Lord. Mike is great at concise yet thoughtful analysis which is delivered in a rapid fire enthusiasm that reveals his love of the subject and yet somehow is respectful to those not as well versed. Bonnie adds an invaluable, thoughtful female perspective that is often missing from other Bible centered resources.
Producer Tim described what happens here as “speed theology” ( like speed dating) on a recent show. That’s a good description of the pace of the ideas delivered but its anything but the shallow toe dipping into relationship that occurs on a 15 minute date. Its an invitation to explore issues that cause many disquieted souls to stay away from the church and thus to miss out on the beauty and majesty of Jesus that finds its home there, despite all the warts and crags that are obvious at first glance.
