Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part Four - The Rob Bell is Full of Sh*t Spectrum - 186

Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast

In Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part 4 the hosts discuss the voices that helped them reconstruct some semblance of belief… or non-belief. The legend and public persona of Rob Bell unexpectedly becomes the yardstick that each host measures their rebuilding experiences against. Each host shares a ton of resources and voices that helped them in their movement away from fundamentalist authority. Some that became irrelevant and others that still ring true today.

The episode finishes with the revival of an old segment formerly known as Jesus or Jay-Z and now rebranded as Friday Night or Sunday Morning. Each host guesses if a set of lyrics is from a ‘christian’ or ‘secular’ musician.
