In this conversation, Daniel Rogers interviews William Paul Young, the author of The Shack. They discuss the imagery of God as Father and why some people struggle with this concept. Young explains that many people have difficulty with the Father imagery because of negative experiences with their own fathers. He emphasizes that God as Father is a metaphor and not a literal representation, and that the best traits of a father can be found in the character and nature of God. Young also discusses the importance of healing our theology and reexamining our understanding of the Old Testament scriptures. He suggests looking for Jesus in the story and reading the scriptures literarily instead of literally.

Daniel Rogers and Paul Young discuss various theological topics, including the nature of God, the interpretation of Old Testament violence, and the concept of eternal conscious torment. They explore the idea that God is love and that everything about God should be understood through the lens of love. They also discuss the Trinity as the mutual interpenetration of the three persons without the loss of personhood. Paul Young shares insights from his book 'The Shack' and his upcoming sequel. Overall, the conversation challenges traditional theological beliefs and encourages a deeper understanding of God's love and grace.

In this episode, Daniel and Kyler have a conversation with author, podcast host, and all around great guy Jason Clark of "Rethinking God with Tacos." We talk about "Leaving and Finding Jesus", living "from" and not "to" God, and how our mind is renewed through encountering God's kindness through Jesus. We discuss our backgrounds and experiences with faith and church. We explore the themes of deconstruction, reimagining God, and living from a place of love. We also explore the idea of the kingdom of God being present here and now, and the importance of kindness in building relationships. The conversation ends with a discussion about our favorite tacos.
