  • Green Flag People with Quique Autrey
    Nov 30 2024

    Hey, this is my friend, psychoanalyst, and author, Quique Autrey. I've had the chance to be on his Psyche Podcast a couple of times, so when he decided to write a book, I knew I wanted to have him on and talk about the project. Btw, if you're into Rick Boothby, Todd McGowan, Peter Rollins kind of stuff, like me, then Quique's podcast is a great resource.

    Today, we're talking about his new book, which is is called Green Flags: How to be the Kind of Person You Need in Your Life. Green Flags is practical and helpful and by reading it, you'll not only enhance your own life but also become a more supportive and understanding presence for those around you. The book is accessible (despite Quique's depth of knowledge around all things philosophcial and psychological). Hope you check it out, and I hope can like, share, and review this show!

    To keep up on all things J_F, please subscribe to my Substack Newsletter.

    Finally, at this time of the year when, hopefully, we're all thinking a bit more about giving to others, consider youself invited to check out what's going on at LoveHaiti.org.

    Peace,
    Jonathan

  • The Tom and Tammy Episode: Tradition, Nazarenes, Change, and the Future
    Oct 21 2024

    It was great to be with my friends Tom Oord and Tammy Vogt recently, talking about our experience(s) with The Church of the Nazarene—both the good and the bad. I think this will be helpful for any of you who have lost faith in your denominational, church, or religious affiliation. And unfortunately, there are a lot of us who fall into this category.

    None of this means that all religious communities are entirely dysfunctional, and none of this means that we shouldn't stop attempting to improve upon the next iteration of religion. Religion is never, ever going away. It will always be with us, so we must name the stuff we've been through as best we can and move forward in health. Well, in a tiny way, this episode is trying to do just that.

    For more info about Tammy see her soultogether.com website and for Tom, check out thomasjayoord.com.

    Thanks everyone. Hope to see you on my substack page.

    Peace!

    Sep 30 2024

    It's always fun to interact with Mason Mennenga, and this time around, we talk about his faith journey, filled as it's been with open and relational insight. We also talk about theology beer camp and football (of course), so I don't know what more people could want!

    Find Mason on his podcast, A People's Theology, and all the stuff he's up to (including his merch!) at his website, magsonmennenga.com.

  • God, Sex, and Rich People with Mattie Jo Cowsert
    Sep 10 2024

    Mattie Jo Cowsert is an actor and author. I think the courage she displays unpacking her story around, you guessed it, God, sex, and rich people is something that a lot of people are going to benefit from. I love her spirit and her energy for finding healthy ways forward for young people (all people). We had a lot of fun on this episode.

    Her book is out today (as of the release of this episode). I hope you'll find it. God, Sex, and Rich People: A Recovering Evangelical Testimony. Also, find Mattie Jo at mattiejocowsert.com and or follow her on social media like I do. :)

    Meanwhile, feel free to subscribe to my substack newsletter. It'd be fun to have you. Oh, and it'd be awesome to see you at Theology Beer Camp this October. Make sure you introduce yourself!

    Finally, like and share this episode. No really, do it.

    Peace!

  • Poet, Author, Darrell Epp and his new book: Alien Phonics Primer!
    Jul 30 2024

    We're talking art, poetry, life and some theology with the poet and author, Darrell Epp. I had a chance to read his brand new book (out today) called Alien Phonics Primer.

    Darrell's writing is super interesting, fun, subversive, and meaningful. And, not to be overlooked ... it's all in lowercase! I hope you'll pick up a copy of the book which is all over the internet and follow him on X @DarrellEpp.

    Meanwhile, make sure you check out the cool shows that you can support at https://www.patreon.com/quoircast/ and if you want to subscribe to my newsletter (and who wouldn't it?), you can find me at https://fosterj.substack.com.

  • Beer, the NBA, and Open and Relational Theology with Tripp Fuller
    Jun 24 2024

    Has anyone in the English-speaking world done more to advance the idea of process-influenced open and relational theology than Tripp Fuller? Hmm, probably not. The good Dr. Fuller is an author, podcaster, thinker, and world-class academician. And he joins me today to talk a little NBA, beer, Al Whitehead, and all things open and relational theology.

    Find him all over the interwebs, but principally on the Homebrewed Christianity podcast. Also, make sure to plug into the Tripp-led Theology Beer Camp. When you do, you might as well get some money off, so use my promo code: FOSTERFRODO.

    Thanks everyone. Don't forget to subscribe and leave some stars. No really, that'd be awesome.

    Peace,
    J
