Sex, God, and Rock n' Roll

Tuesday Oct 06, 2020
Barry Taylor joins the conversation to discuss his book Sex, God, and Rock n' Roll. (Fortress Press)
Barry entered adulthood touring the world with legendary rock band AC/DC and from there became an artist, theologian, priest, and teacher.
We discuss the role of darkness and melancholy in Taylor's life. We move into Dylan's famous utterance to "play fucking loud" in life by finding our own voice and refusing to be an echo of another. We unpack a new angle of Luke 7:44 (Do you see this woman?) and talk about why labels blind us. Then we conclude the discussion with an awareness of an eternal hunger that never seems to be satiated.

Insatiable Wet Ass PWord
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
In this monologue, Danielle covers the headline topics surrounding Jerry Falwell Jr., Cardi B. and WAP, and sex-trafficking.
What happens when we go beyond the surface level of judging what we've read and listened to about these topics and asking bolder questions?
What if Falwell Jr. was crying out for help and we didn't see the signs?
What if we ask more important questions about open marriages and cuckoldry?
What happens when we juxtapose Cardi B. lyrics with Bible verses? Would Christians be so quick to condemn her or the expression of eroticism?
Danielle reads from Dr. David J. Ley's bestselling book Insatiable Wives and Dr. Emily Nagoski's bestselling book, Come As You Are.

Love is the Distraction to Division
Wednesday Jun 24, 2020
Wednesday Jun 24, 2020
Chris Terrell joins Danielle for this conversation. We discuss Chris' upbringing and how that helped form who he is right now. He shares his views on what he sees between outliers and insiders. We share agreement in the idea of Oneness and how everything is connected. He asks the question: "What if we are all wrong?" What happens when it comes down to agreeability and disagreeability and why that shouldn't determine "family" and connection. He explains how he doesn't see things as "right or wrong" but more so in terms of what is "mature" and what is "immature." We talk about how movies influence mimesis, how despite primary focus, there is so much that is not attended to when the demands are to keep us attentive on things that really don't matter. We discuss how disagreement is diversity and why love either isn't a distraction at all or maybe it's THE distraction we all need.

God Can't and an Eros Theology
Monday Jun 08, 2020
Monday Jun 08, 2020
Right now would be a great time to switch gears and throw a little love out for your listening pleasure. I recorded this conversation awhile back. I am sure many of you are familiar with my next guest. Thomas Jay Oord is a theologian, philosopher, and scholar of multi-disciplinary studies. Oord is a best-selling and award-winning author, having written or edited more than twenty-five books. He directs a doctoral program at Northwind Theological Seminary and the Center for Open and Relational Theology. A twelve-time Faculty Award-winning professor, Oord teaches at institutions around the globe. Oord is known for his contributions to research on love, open and relational theology, science and religion, and the implications of freedom and relationships for transformation.
The topic is centered on the question I asked Thomas, which was “Do you have an eros theology?” To which he responded, “Yes, I do!”
Thomas shares the synopsis of his book God Can’t
What does it look like to rethink God’s power and consider God’s love as uncontrollable? He then breaks down what relational theology looks like.
“Love has to be the center of theology.”
“I wanted to have a definition of love.”
“To love is to act intentionally in relational response to God and others; to promote overall well-being.”
“Love is constantly asking the question: What Promotes the common good?”
“Is it OK if we talk some about sex on this show? Let me go on some wild directions…”
Can pleasure promote well-being? What about masturbation? Is vulnerability easier within monogamy?
We discuss polyamory, why eros is the umbrella, and eroticism is the sub-category. Whitehead’s influence on Oord, “reality is comprised of events…” and more.

Moral Relativism, Realism, and Moral Principles
Wednesday May 20, 2020
Wednesday May 20, 2020
Sam Kratzer joins the conversation today to share his views on moral relativism. Sam is a philosopher, a husband, and a father of twins. He's a long time friend of mine and in this episode, we dig deep into philosophy.
How is truth constructed?
What's dangerous about Ayn Rand's Objectivism, what's dangerous about moral relativism, and what does philosophy reveal about life and the psyche?
We discuss the principled approach to viewing consumption, why absolute claims are hard to prove, and why Dawkins is an atrocious theologian but a luminescent biologist.
Sam explains why he is motivated by results and why that makes him a utilitarian.
We tip-toe into understanding the Trump base and why it feels good to be part of a group.
Tiger King comes up, AGAIN!
"I'm fairly uncomfortable with strong forms of relativism—they're a little dangerous."
"It's easier to be unconscious."
"I think a lot of people are profoundly insecure in their own beliefs."
"The scariest thing in the world to us is someone who is smart and well-intentioned and believes the exact opposite of what we do."
"I have to believe that anyone who disagrees with me is either evil or stupid or both because I cannot imagine anything scarier than that not being trie because that means that I might be wrong."
"We prefer nefarious order rather than chaos" and that's why we gravitate toward "conspiracy theories."
Alvin Plantinga, echo chambers, dualism and more.
Enjoy the show.

The Compassionate Conservative: The Dusty Disciple
Sunday Apr 26, 2020
Sunday Apr 26, 2020
The Compassionate Conservative Series Premiere begins with Pastor Jeremy Evans.
The last 4 years have brought about a search to understand the Trump Voter. Researchers and pontificators have offered their guesses and opinions as to why a person would vote for Trump. The societal confidence in calling those we don’t know racists, misogynists, sexists, homophobes, and evil is concerning, to say the least, and primarily one of the reasons I felt compelled to host this series.
Today, you will meet Pastor Jeremy Evans. He is socially progressive but voted for Trump in the 2016 election. He explains why he voted for Trump. Have his views changed? Listen and find out.
Today, the conversation includes:
- [The Media] wants our attention they don’t necessarily report the truth.
- I am tired of being told to hate people that I don’t know
- We probably have more in common than we think we do.
- What I like about Trump.
- Mimetic Theory- Trump the Scapegoat
- If you’re a Trump supporter, you are all these things.
- Collective brokenness discharges pain and shame.
- “The things we see in others that bother us are the things we deny the existence of within ourselves.”
- “I believe the best about people, even if they don’t deliver their best or aren’t willing to extend the courtesy, because I don’t see how the world can function any other way.”
- “I hope there’s an intellectual renaissance.”
- Trump is a great seducer.
“What would we do if we have to change the way we feel about people if we identify ourselves by how we feel about people?”- CoronaVirus theories, culling the herd, psychedelics, ecstasy, mushrooms and more.

Reconstructing...Sex
Saturday Apr 25, 2020
Saturday Apr 25, 2020
First, a mini monologue about Reconstructing of the Mind, and a little hat tip to author Todd Vick. Danielle asks the question: "What is normal?"
Do we know what normal is? Will there ever be a new normal?
What kind of paradigm will we reconstruct post-CoronaVirus?
The segue from renewal and reconstruction introduces the second Dr. G segment. Leslie Goth, PsyD joins the show again, and she asks Danielle, "When do you first learn about sex?"
We discuss some new research that demonstrates porn addiction, perhaps, is just a myth. Dr. Goth tackles the topic of pornography and reveals what's underneath the draw of the escape from reality.
This is a vulnerable episode that dives into sexuality and relationships.

Psychedelic Christianity
Monday Apr 13, 2020
Monday Apr 13, 2020
This episode welcomes philosopher, writer, and president of the Institute for the Advancement of Psychedelic Christianity, Jack Call. Jack is the author of 4 books: Dreams and Resurrection, God is a Symbol of Something True, Life in a Psychedelic Church, and Psychedelic Christianity. Today, we discuss his philosophy, including how psychedelic drugs brought him closer to Christianity and God.
Jack introduces us to the Boo Hoo Bible, the cultish practice of Psychedelic Christianity, and solipsistic nihilism. We discuss what’s out of our control and what’s basic and in our control.
“I don’t want to say that God is just a concept…God accounts for the fact that there are things aren’t under our control, but something—somebody gets them done.”
Call went from conceptualizing God in a depersonalized reality, similarly to the style and philosophy of Alan Watts, but gradually moved toward an understanding that God is personal and our relationship with God is part of the Ultimate Goal.
What is the Ultimate Goal? Jack pulls apart the varying layers of what the goal is and how we can achieve it.
Jack takes us through the journey of the Dream Analogy and we talk about what it could be like to die. Is there an afterlife? What does the afterlife look like? What does this reveal or contribute to transformation? We imagine together.
Jack explains why the parable of the lost sheep is anti-utilitarian and what we can do instead, to bring about the Kingdom and maintain right relationship with God.
“The highest goal would be for ourselves to stop doing the wrong thing because we do understand that is it the wrong thing. And we love God and our neighbor as ourselves. And that’s what would be loving about the Kingdom of God. It’s when I stop doing something unjust because I realize it’s unjust. When I ask for forgiveness because I realize what I’ve done is wrong…I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any laws…The Kingdom of God is not about forcing anyone to do anything.”
This episode is for the lovers of philosophy and imaginative conceptions and possibilities.
