About Becoming Christian: Faith is a Journey not a Destination
What if Christian faith is less about having all the right answers and more about learning to live as human beings? What is God’s purpose for our lives is not to have it all together, but to lean into our finite, messy, lives? Join me as we explore the heart of the Christian life as we engage important questions about God, the bible, salvation, and what it means to follow Jesus.

Bonhoeffer’s Problem with Conservatives AND Liberals
In his letters, speeches, and lectures, Bonhoeffer criticizes both conservatives and liberals. He has a problem with the binary approach to Christian faith that creates tension between the spiritual and the secular. Instead, Bonhoeffer wants the Christian community to discover Christ at the center of human life and culture, freeing the world from ideology AND mythology to exist as God's good creation. This episode continues to explore my new book Unbelievers: Secular Faith and the End of the Culture War. You can buy a copy here: https://lumberjacktheology.com/ (https://lumberjacktheology.com/)

The Worldly Faith of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In his letters written from prison, Bonhoeffer wonders what faith will look like after the war. He criticizes Christians who want to return to former version of religious belief and practice. Instead, he wonders what the future of Christian faith might be—one that engages the world without fear and without overspiritualization. Bonhoeffer’s vision for a worldly form of faith is one that takes the world seriously; it’s a version of Christian faith that takes human life seriously. This means engaging in science, politics, economics, etc. without the need to colonize these areas of life with religious and spiritual language. It means recognizing the presence of Jesus Christ in the midst of human life as God’s embrace of this world. This episode continues a discussion of my new book Unbelievers: Secular Faith and the End of the Culture War. You can purchase a copy online at Lumberjack Theology Publications.

Who is Jesus Christ for Unbelievers?
While sitting in prison near the end of his life, Dietrich Bonhoeffer wonders what Christian faith will look like following the war. What will Christianity mean for people who no longer want to be religious? He writes to his friend about “religionless Christianity”, not as a form of atheism, but as a belief in God that transcends religion. Bonhoeffer question is just as important for us today: Who is Jesus Christ for unbelievers? For those who are no longer religious?
