When Did Christ Fill All Things?

Last updated on: September 6, 2022 at 8:11 pm By Keith Giles

A few weeks ago I was watching a fairly important conversation between Randal Rauser and Doug Groothuis about whether or not Progressive Christianity is a False Gospel on the Unbelievable? Podcast via YouTube and this section of the video made me want to jump up and scream. Specifically, it was when Randal Rauser – who was defending Richard Rohr’s description of the Universal Christ – reads from a section of Athanasius’s “On The Incarnation of Christ” [specifically from section 17:...

When The Bible Tells You To Abandon Religion

Last updated on: August 31, 2022 at 8:35 pm By Keith Giles

Don’t you just love when you discover a verse in the Bible that totally blows your mind and reorients everything you thought you knew about following Christ? Well, that’s exactly what happened last night when I quite accidentally came across this passage in Hebrews chapter 6, verses 1-3 which says this: “Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,...

Not Alone In The Desert

Last updated on: August 15, 2022 at 6:44 pm By Keith Giles

Deconstruction isn’t easy. It isn’t sexy. It’s pretty much the most brutal spiritual experience you could imagine, for many of us. One question turns into another, one doubt turns into several, and before you know it your family thinks you’re going to hell, your friends pretend not to recognize you at the grocery store, and you’re not welcome to teach Sunday School anymore. It can be a lonely, painful journey. My friends Karl and Laura Forehand know this. They’ve written... Read more

The Cheyenne Creation Myth

Last updated on: August 8, 2022 at 7:18 pm By Keith Giles

A few weeks ago I ran across this amazing book, quite by accident. I was perusing books at a local used bookstore and found this small paperback – American Indian Mythology by Alice Marriott and Carol K. Rachlin. In the very first chapter, I read the first few pages of the Cheyenne Myth of Creation and it blew my mind. Here, below, are a few excerpts from the Myth with my reactions and notes. I hope you’re sitting down. HOW... Read more

Last updated on: August 3, 2022 at 4:55 pm By Keith Giles

CORRECTION: The Nation’s Top Progressive Christian Leaders

Last updated on: July 29, 2022 at 7:10 pm By Keith Giles

After my post yesterday seeking to answer the question Who Are The Nation’s Top Progressive Christian Leaders?, I received some gentle – and some not-so-gentle – suggestions that my list was very, very White and for that I am sincerely apologetic. Yes, I did attempt to clarify in that article that my post was “fairly subjective” and that these were “my picks” based on “How often do these people get quoted, shared, name-dropped or referenced in Progressive Christian posts, books,...
