Christian Anarchy, Jacques Ellul and Joel McKerrow

Last updated on: January 5, 2013 at 9:17 pm By Christian Piatt

Up front, Christian and Jordan discuss their Christmases, and whether Hitler painted houses or paintings. The interview was actually recorded last summer, when the two sat down in Christian’s kitchen to talk with Australian spoken word artist Joel McKerrow. They discuss the land down under, Wild Goose West, and Joel does some really cool spoken word pieces. In the Echo Chamber, Christian explains the fiscal cliff to Jordan, and then they talk about French theologian Jacques Ellul, Christian anarchy, and... Read more

Finding God in Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell?

Last updated on: January 4, 2013 at 12:18 am By Christian Piatt

I know this sounds totally bizarre, but I had a moment of clarity about the value of human life in, of all places, a kid-themed pizza joint yesterday. No, they don’t exploit their workers (that I know of, short of submitting them to overstimulated kids all day). It took a few steps for me to get there, so bear with me. Yesterday, my daughter, Zoe, turned four years old. It’s a crappy time of year to have a birthday party,... Read more

Ten Defining Phrases of 2012

Last updated on: January 1, 2013 at 11:54 pm By Christian Piatt

Generally, we only know how history will be remembered once it is in the rearview mirror. Something, or some things, jump out and remain indelible in the collective memories of the culture. And in a world defined by sound bytes, sometimes only a few words tell us a lot about that moment in time. In that spirit, here are my selections for the ten most defining phrases that will stay with us from the past year. #10 Gangnam Style (PSY)... Read more

Homebrewed CultureCast with “The Shack” author, Wm. Paul Young

Last updated on: December 28, 2012 at 4:33 am By Christian Piatt

This week’s episode was recorded in the youth group room at First Christian Church in downtown Portland. To start things off, Jordan talks about being the Marv Marinovich of comedy by relentlessly pushing his daughter to be funnier while Christian embraces the black magic that is naturopathic medicine. This week’s guest is Wm. Paul Young, author of the wildly popular novel The Shack, which has sold 18 million copies to date. Paul talks about the creative process, about trusting God... Read more

Pope Attacks LGBT Equality in Christmas Speech

Last updated on: December 22, 2012 at 8:11 pm By Christian Piatt

I get why the Pope supports what many call “traditional family values.” I don’t agree, but the Catholic Church’s positions on Gay Marriage, LGBT rights and sexual identity are deeply rooted in the tradition of the institution. But while many are engaging people on both the left and right in meaningful conversation on issues like this (see Justin Lee’s Gay Christian Network and Andrew Marin’s Marin Foundation), others endeavor to squash the dialogue and further the perception that there is...
