Are You Prepared for the A**hole Apocalypse?
Last updated on: September 1, 2015 at 5:29 pm By Christian Piatt
Are You Ready for the A**hole Apocalypse? You’ve encountered those Christians who are so self-assured about their faith it’s like fingers on a chalkboard. You’ve met the type that is only satisfied if you think, act and believe just like they do. You know the Christians that want to start a conversation with an awkward question like “have you accepted Jesus into your heart?” or left a tract as a tip, or gave crosses to kids at Halloween or…you get...

Wm Paul Young, Del Phoena & Group Mad Libs (CultureCast LIVE, pt 1 of 2)
Last updated on: August 28, 2015 at 8:01 pm By Christian Piatt
With live shows all along the east coast this summer, it was nice to head back to the left coast to wrap up our live summer series. And hey, while we’re at it, why not have on one of the bestselling authors of all time, Wm. Paul Young (THE SHACK) as our featured guest? Paul came to town for this live buffet of Culture-Castiness just weeks before his new novel, EVE, drops everywhere and he hits the road for a... Read more

Sex, Satire and Subversion
Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 6:05 pm By Christian Piatt
Screw rhyming titles this week; we’re going full-on alliteration! That’s how nerdy we are (mic drop…picks up mic to keep talking in type form, awkwardly apologizing for feedback from prior mic drop). Anyhoo… We’ll take you to the mountains and valleys in this episode, friends. For starters, we have one of our co-producers, Adam Phillips, sitting in for Slim Moon this week. And his response when he heard the topics o’ the week: “I’m gonna need some Baileys in my... Read more

Save Your Soul for a Klondike Bar?
Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 6:32 pm By Christian Piatt
We’ve all seen lots of different kinds of angles to try and get people to offer up their souls for eternal salvation. But it seems that good pastor Jake Zimmerman has it figured out. Check out his video below and note how one small Klondike bar changes the whole conversation in the most godless city in the United States! And all this time we’ve been trying so hard to build churches, teach classes, preach scary sermons…and all we needed was... Read more

Going Nuclear: The Iran Debate (CultureCast Special)
Last updated on: August 21, 2015 at 6:57 pm By Christian Piatt
Usually we’re content to talk pop culture, a little news and some theology sprinkled with anatomical humor and the like, but this one goes out to all the geeks in the podcast tribe who like digging down into sticky topics and really think them out. This special episode is entirely dedicated to a debate facilitated by Christian Piatt about the nuclear deal being negotiated with Iran. Christian welcomes Jeremy Courtney, head of the Preemptive Love Coalition, and Mark Tooley, Director... Read more

Homebrewed CultureCast LIVE from Columbus (Pt. 2 of 2)
Last updated on: August 17, 2015 at 8:13 pm By Christian Piatt
This is the second sold out live show from the Disciples of Christ General Assembly in Columbus Ohio. It was a spectacular evening and some of it was recorded. What wasn’t recorded was taking our guest Andy on his first trip to Waffle House. In this episode you will get… * Adam Phillips & Andy Goebel in the house talking about their church plants getting kicked out of one denomination and welcomed into another for being welcoming. * Phil Snider, GLAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance...

Does a Doctrine of Hell Justify Killing Children?
Last updated on: August 6, 2015 at 10:06 pm By Christian Piatt
I’ve written a great deal about hell. I even debated a theology professor from Western Seminary about the existence of hell and whether we can reconcile such a concept with a loving and merciful God. Our understanding of God’s involvement in the world, as well as God’s so-called “plan” for us after we die, raises so many interesting questions and conundrums that some people dedicate entire careers to exploring it. But for the most part we don’t spend a lot... Read more

No One is Pro-Abortion (and Few are Fully Pro-Life)
Last updated on: August 4, 2015 at 10:51 pm By Christian Piatt
I’m not the only one who is frustrated with, and even a little bit exhausted by, the “Pro life” versus “Pro Choice” debate. I’ve spent a good deal of time trying to wade through all of the issues, and why I feel how I do about it. And I’ve arrived at three reasons I find the whole dialogue – if you can call it that – terribly wanting. 1. The Debate is Inherently (and Ironically) Dehumanizing. Like many debates about important... Read more

Wm Paul Young: EVE’s Revolution and THE SHACK, the Movie
Last updated on: August 1, 2015 at 5:06 pm By Christian Piatt
Come see Wm. Paul Young LIVE as part of the upcoming Homebrewed CultureCast show at Marmoset Music in Portland, OR August 13th. Get your tickets HERE while they’re still available. When Wm Paul Young first wrote THE SHACK, he did it as a Christmas gift for his family. He barely had enough money to make photocopies of it to give to them.
