SAYING 14: Jesus said to them: “If you fast, you will bring forth sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. [But] when you enter any land and travel over

Who Are The Nation’s Top Progressive Christian Leaders?

Last updated on: July 27, 2022 at 6:20 pm By Keith Giles

As with any Top 10 or Best list, this post will be fairly subjective. In other words, these are my picks for the Nation’s Top Progressive Christian Leaders. Your mileage may vary. My criteria for the main list is fairly straightforward: How often do these people get quoted, shared, name-dropped or referenced in Progressive Christian posts, books, interviews or on social media? In my experience, these are the Christian Leaders who are the most influential among Progressive Christians: Richard... Read more

What Is Progressive Christian Theology?

Last updated on: July 25, 2022 at 10:23 pm By Keith Giles

This is a hard question to answer, because honestly, even Progressive Christians don’t totally agree on what qualifies as Progressive Theology. For example, I co-host a long-running and fairly popular podcast called The Heretic Happy Hour. For the last 5 years, we’ve championed the fact that each host is free to share their own unique theological views without feeling the need to agree with any of our other co-hosts. Our goal has been to model what it looks like... Read more

Escaping The Evangelical Cult

Last updated on: July 23, 2022 at 10:45 pm By Keith Giles

About 3 years ago, I started an online course called Square 1 which has since grown into a large online community where people who are going through the pain and uncertainty of religious Deconstruction can process their questions and discover – at their own pace and in their own way – what Reconstruction might look like for them. Since starting Square 1, the course and community have branched into Square 2 – a more Reconstruction-focused module – and Square 3... Read more

Last updated on: June 29, 2022 at 6:14 pm By Keith Giles

Saying 10: “Jesus said, “I have cast fire upon the world, and behold, I am guarding it until it blazes.” At first glance, this saying seems to sound as if Jesus is talking about the end of the World or some future apocalyptic event that

Embracing The Mystery

Last updated on: June 27, 2022 at 4:59 pm By Keith Giles

EMBRACING THE MYSTERY NOTE: The following is taken from my notes for a sermon preached at First Presbyterian Church of El Paso, TX on June 26th, 2022] When it comes to Theology, we need to admit that we’re talking about a Being who, by definition, is beyond all human comprehension. The problem is when Theologians say, “God is being who transcends every possible definition, and now please sit back and allow me to describe God to you in exquisite detail.”... Read more

I WAS WRONG….BUT

Last updated on: June 24, 2022 at 9:29 pm By Keith Giles

Five years ago I wrote a book entitled Jesus Untangled: Crucifying Our Politics To Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb where I asserted [among other things] that abortion was a “shiny red button” issue which Conservative Republicans would never actually overturn because it was too useful as a tool to mobilize Evangelical Christians to vote for their candidates in every election. My argument was based on documented examples of how often Republican leaders had ample opportunity, and power, to overturn Roe... Read more
