In this episode of the Isms and Schisms Podcast, Aaron sits down with Dr. Brian Harris to discuss the theology of leadership and how everyone has the potential to be a leader. Leadership is a noble thing to aspire to. They make a difference in the world and pave the way for a better future. They are convicted of a belief that drives them to do something and to have a positive impact. No matter who you are, where you’ve come from, what you’re doing right now - you can be a leader, and you can be a better leader. Brian Harris is an accomplished theologian, pastor, and leader, who has a wealth of experience in leadership - from being the principal of a theological seminary for 17 years, to sitting on national boards, to being a pastor and a preacher almost all of his life, to founding the Avenir Leadership Institute. This episode may not technically be an ’ism’ or a ’schism’ but it’s crammed full of wisdom. They discuss ethical leadership examples, talk about historical leaders - the good and the bad - and chat through plenty of leadership theory that will inspire you and encourage you to step up and to say ’yes’ to life.…
’Deconstruction’ is a bit of a buzz word at the moment and can be quite divisive. But what is it? What is deconstructing faith? What are the stages of faith deconstruction? How does it impact Christian theology? Is it destructive or demonic, or is it reformation or good old faith renewal? An important topic, so come along and listen to my thoughts!…
Postmodernism is literally that which came after modernism. Where modernism is defined by the belief in universal rules and codes, and an optimistic hope in the inevitable progression of human society to a perfect utopia, postmodernism is defined by local beliefs and fragmentation, an emphasis upon subjective perspectives, and long French surnames. So how does this affect Christian theology and practice? What is truth? Why should I care? Listen to this episode to find out!…
In this snippet, let's revisit the man responsible for Jesus' crucifixion: Pontius Pilate. He was the governor of Judea and had bit of a mean streak.

Arminianism is the classical alternative to Calvinism on the question of predestination. The five key points of Arminianism are precisely the theological ideas that inspired the Calvinist TULIP. Arminianism attempts to uphold both God’s sovereignty and human freedom and agency. Basically, God chooses those who would choose him.…
Were you destined to listen to this episode? Were you chosen to be saved? Are you even capable at all of responding to God’s grace in any way other than negatively? Listen to this episode to find out! This episode on Calvinism is all about John Calvin’s theology, but predestination in particular - even though Calvin may not actually have been a Calvinist. We unpack Five Point Calvinism, which is neatly summarised in the acronym TULIP.…
The Reformation has begun and is showing no signs of slowing. Luther opened Pandora’s Box and the world will never be the same again. This episode continues the dramatic story of the people who challenged the church’s dogmatism in order to install their own sort of dogmatism. Hooray! Let’s explore the lives of Melancthon, Zwingli, and Calvin (and also the short-lived life of Servetus), and see how Protestantism grows into a distinct expression of church.…
16th century Germany was an era of radical change and disruption. Many before had attempted to reform the church, but none were successful. Until a monk named Martin Luther came along and developed new ideas about Scripture, the clergy, the sacraments, and justification, among many other things. With the help of the late medieval’s equivalent to the internet - the printing press - Luther’s ideas sparked a wildfire that the papacy could not possibly hope to contain. And the world began to change. The Protestants had arrived.…
The ancient Hellenistic philosophical system known as Stoicism is a profoundly practical and helpful way of doing life. I don’t necessarily say that all of Stoicism is to be uncritically adopted, but it is, generally - I believe - perfectly compatible with Christianity. Indeed, it inspired much of the teachings of Christianity. This episode explores Stoicism and its similarities with Christianity.…
”For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures and that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures.” So wrote Paul in his letter to the Corinthian church (1 Cor. 15.3-4), passing on to the others the traditions about Jesus that he had himself received from others. But was Jesus actually raised on the third day? And what does he mean by ”in accordance with the scriptures”? Which scriptures?…
Who killed Jesus? Probably depends on who you ask... BUT it was almost certainly this man, the governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, who had Jesus executed. But who was he? Why was he in Judea? Why do the gospels present this man as kind of a weak, pathetic coward? Is that an accurate portrayal? Listen in to this episode to hear my thoughts!…
What does it mean to call Jesus Immanuel? Why does the carol call him the incarnate Deity? What does the word ’Incarnation’ even mean? The incarnation is the central promise of Christmas, that God became human, embraced humanity, to serve humanity. This episode explores some of the implications of such a claim. Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/12/19/36-incarnation-christmas-special/…
Why is Christmas celebrated on the 25th of December? The New Testament doesn’t give us any clues about when Jesus was born, so why was this particular day chosen? This episode explores various theories - that Jesus was conceived on the 25th of March, that Constantine aligned the birth of Jesus with the celebration of Sol Invictus or Mithras, and more! Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/12/12/35-december-25th-christmas-special/…
Magi from the east followed a star to pay homage to Jesus in Bethlehem. They gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Sometimes known as ’Wise Men’ or ’Kings’, these enigmatic characters are iconic in the narrative of Jesus’ birth. But who were they? How many were there? How - and why - did they follow a star? What was up with those gifts? In this episode we’ll explore the significance of these Zoroastrian astronomers and why they were part of the story.

Merry Christmas! It’s that magical time of year and all I want for Christmas is...theology. Starting with this episode on Advent, we’re exploring four different themes related to Christmas to get you in that festive mood. We begin by examining that four week (or is it 40 day) period leading up to Christmas marked by wreaths and calendars and carols and visits to Santa at the shopping centre known as ’Advent’. Let’s get ready to celebrate the arrival of Jesus of Nazareth. Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/11/28/33-advent-christmas-special…
Does the Bible contain errors? Can it contain errors? Or is it entirely infallible or inerrant? Is it a divine book? Or a human book? What does it really mean to say that the Bible is inspired? Is it authoritative or normative for Christian theology? Listen to this episode on infallibilism to learn more! Shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/11/21/32-infallibilism/…
1930’s Germany was a scary place. For everyone, but especially those with Jewish ancestry. Unfortunately, most German churches capitulated to Nazi ideology as Hitler installed a Reich Bishop and implemented the Aryan Paragraph. Some stood up to what was perceived as anti-Christian church practice, and paid the ultimate price for their bravery. One such person was the pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Following the disastrous People’s Crusade, led by Peter the Hermit, the great armies of Europe converged upon the ancient eastern capitol of Constantinople, full of pious energy and hopeful devotion. They got off to a good start, but it very quickly devolved into a mess of debauchery, cannibalism, and violence. Will they make it to Jerusalem?

The 11th century witnessed one of the most infamous events in human history: the first crusade. Not that they knew it would be the first crusade at that point. In this episode, we’ll explore the political, cultural, theological climate that led to the call to crusade, and we’ll meet our first crusader: Peter the Hermit.

Feminist theology and biblical scholarship is looking at questions about God and reading Scripture through the lens of a woman’s perspective, particularly with an eye toward the historic and still ongoing oppression, suppression, and even abuse, of women. These perspectives and theological contributions that come as a result are significant, important, and really interesting. Despite sometimes being confronting and challenging. Jesus fought for the downtrodden; if we are to be Christian (i.e. be like Christ), then we should do the same. Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/10/24/28-feminism/…
Egalitarianism is the idea that roles within church, marriage, society are not dictated by gender. I.e. women can be pastors too. As well as all the other things. This episode makes a case for Egalitarianism, challenging the interpretations of certain verses that are usually used to support Complementarianism. Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/10/17/27-egalitarianism/…
What ”role” does a woman have in society? In churches? In families? Should they stay home and manage the household, or can they take on positions of leadership and authority? Can they preach and be pastors? Complementarianism posits that men and women have different roles, determined by gender that function in a complementary fashion to display the image of God. Shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/10/10/26-complementarianism/…
John Wesley was a man of methodical discipline, who sought purity and holiness, wanted the best for the world and his fellow humans. He travelled far and preached regularly, fought for abolitionism, and debated vigorously over major theological concerns. He was a fascinating character who founded Methodism and from who we can learn a lot. Shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/10/03/25-wesley-methodism…

Henry VIII is dead. His tumultuous reign has come to an end. Now what? This episode follows the (short) reign of Edward Tudor and the (even shorter) reign of Lady Jane Grey, as well as checking on what Mary and Elizabeth have been up to.

In Revelation 13, the Beast appears from the sea, whose number is 666. The beast is sometimes interpreted as the Antichrist, sometimes NWO, and sometimes the Pope. But who, are what, is he really? Why did the author of Revelation include this seven headed monster, and why does the Beast sound suspiciously like Emperor Nero... Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/09/12/22-revelation-the-beast/…
Revelation 20 includes one of the mostly hotly debated and esoteric passages of the whole Bible, talking about a thousand year reign where Satan is locked away and Jesus reigns as king. What does this mean? Is something to happen in the future? In the past? Or it it happening now? Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/09/05/21-revelation-millennialism/…
Apocalyptic literature is filled with wild, esoteric imagery, but is generally coded critiques of imperial power and presentations of an alternative reality where God is the true king. Understanding this genre is important for understanding key biblical texts, not least the Book of Revelation. Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/08/29/20-apocalypticism/…
Sacramentalism refers to the practice of partaking in the sacred acts of the Christian community, particularly baptism and the eucharist (or communion or the Lord’s Supper). But it is far more than simply eating and taking a bath. It is about engaging in and celebrating the mystery of God’s interaction with the world.
