Jordan and Christian are finally back together after weeks of travel, and they catch us up on their adventures, including why Christian nearly lost hist sanity trying to park his car in Mexico. They talk with Chris Baker of Ink 180 Tattoos about his tattoo ministry with former gang members and sex workers. His story is inspiring and is helpful for anyone trying to figure out what God is calling them to do in life. In the Echo Chamber, they talk about a story... Read more

Pope Francis Calls Out the Church

Last updated on: March 14, 2013 at 8:57 pm By Christian Piatt

Only a day into his papacy, and I’ve got to admit, Pope Francis has my attention. In an editorial piece on the Sojourners website today, Jim Wallis cited a surprising and very heartening quote from the new pontiff, especially for those looking in from the outside as non-Catholics. Here’s an excerpt from one of his first public addresses: “We have to avoid the spiritual sickness of a self-referential church. It’s true that when you get out into the street, as... Read more

I’m a Racist, And So Can You!

Last updated on: March 12, 2013 at 6:48 pm By Christian Piatt

I’m baaaaack…from my vacation that is. Thanks so much to Phil Snider, Linda Brendle, Andy Campbell, Eric Elnes and Margot Starbuck for contributing guest pieces while I was away. Though I’m physically back in the country, I’m hardly caught up enough to formulate a cogent blog post today. So I decided to share a piece from my friend Doug Hagler, who is a Presbyterian minister and one of the trio making up Two Friars and a Fool. His piece on... Read more

The Nones, The League & Death of the Nuclear Family

Last updated on: March 9, 2013 at 6:57 pm By Christian Piatt

It’s a Homebrewed CultureCast Spring Break Special! Jordan took his family to Disneyland this week, so Christian recruited his wife, Rev. Amy Piatt to co-host. They act pretty much like what you’d expect a married couple hosting a radio show together to act like, so that’s kind of entertaining in itself. (more…) Read more

My Son, The Holy Heretic

I’m taking an early Spring Break this week and will be running a guest blogger series featuring some of my favorite writers. Today meet retired business woman, writer and my mom, Linda Brendle. Christian sometimes says he’s the product of an atheist and a Southern Baptist. I’m the Southern Baptist part of the equation. In September of 2011 when Patheos picked up Christian’s blog, I wrote the following post giving... Read more

Beyond Sequestration, Christianity Quietly Converges

Last updated on: March 7, 2013 at 2:51 pm By Christian Piatt

I’m taking an early Spring Break this week and will be running a guest blogger series featuring some of my favorite writers. Today meet biblical scholar and author, Dr. Eric Elnes. The move to “sequestration” in Washington, DC is the most recent product of a three-decade trend toward political polarization in America. Yet in the last several years a curious counter-phenomenon has been quietly taking shape underneath the surface of North American religion. Within the Christian community the trend has... Read more

I’m taking an early Spring Break this week and will be running a guest blogger series featuring some of my favorite writers. Today meet educator, author and home-brewer Anderson Campbell. In 2011, I was fired from a church because of differences with the senior leadership. Being fired from any job is a trying experience. Being fired from a paid role in a faith community carries a different kind of baggage, though. I felt like I was fired from my faith.... Read more
