Jeremy is the founding pastor of Commons Church in Calgary, BC--a rather unique church that prioritizes intellectual honesty and the centrality of Jesus above tight-knit doctrinal statements. I found Jeremy on Twitter and was fascinated by his ecclesiology, so I invited him to come talk about it on the show. We ended up talking quite a bit about belonging, sexual ethics, polyamory, LGBTQ inclusion, and how the philosophy/theology of Rene Girard informs and shapes much of the ecclesiological vision of Commons.

This podcast is a recording of a talk I gave at this year’s Revoice conference in Plano, TX. In it, I talk about why LGBTQ people are not just needy but needed in the church. Specifically, there are four major things I’ve learned about Jesus and the Christian way of life from my LGBTQ friends: 1) friendship, 2) marriage, 3) faithfulness, and 4) masculinity.

On episode #742 of Theology in the Raw Preston has a conversation with a intersex Christian. They talk about intersex, binariness, maleness, femaleness, and the church.

Today Preston is talking to Skye Jethani. For many, Skye is known as the co-host of the Phil Vischer Podcast. He is also a "thought leader", pastor, and an author of the book What's Wrong with Religion?

Preston are talking about (C)church. What is the model of the church today and how is that going to change in the future? How has technology impacted the way we "do" church and how we need to "do" church?
