Journal Of A Postmodern Prophet (A Broken Day)

Last updated on: June 4, 2014 at 1:31 pm By Phil Shepherd

Many years ago when I was in seminary I was asked to submit an assignment – creating a collection of my writings chronicling my faith journey over the years. With strong encouragement from my community, the Journal Of A Postmodern Prophet was created. I will warn you in advance that some of the language is still somewhat evangelical in places, since some of these writings were pulled from a span of writings I did between the ages of 18 –...

The Unknown Namesake: A Bastard’s Divine Legacy

Last updated on: May 16, 2014 at 4:01 pm By Phil Shepherd

Blood Doctrine is the latest work from my good friend and fellow Patheos bloggers, Christian Piatt. I chose to review Blood Doctrine as my inaugural post as I slowly get back into the world of blogging even though I have a few more months of my sabbatical to go! Instead of doing a “standard” book review, I decided to shoot a vidcast giving a quick summation of Blood Doctrine and then interviewed Christian about his thoughts on his first novel... Read more

Body & Soul: Incarnation in “Her”

Last updated on: January 29, 2014 at 10:31 am By whiskeyguest

I hope you’ve seen Spike Jonze’s latest film, “Her”, nominated for ‘Best Picture’ and ‘Screenplay’ Oscars, starring Joaquin Phoenix and the voice of Scarlett Johansson. If not, run, don’t walk, to the nearest theatre and take care of that. At least see it before you read the rest of this post, because we’re gonna get wonky, and probably spoil the whole thing for you. (Or perhaps distract you with cosmology while you’re trying to enjoy stellar performances and spot-on writing.)... Read more

Christians Are Judgmental Jerks

Last updated on: January 24, 2014 at 9:45 am By whiskeyguest

Tracy Simmons is the lead pastor of Christ Community Church, Alaska in Anchorage, Alaska. He was also Phil’s youth pastor. There are too many words to describe the course of his journey with Jesus, but in summary… Amazing. Grace. You can find him at c3ak.com, or on his occasional blog. Or, you may get a few bits of wisdom from his Twitter feed at @CasualHeretic. Or, you might be interested in some of his music at TracySimmonsAK. To me, it... Read more

Tongue Talking, Control, and the fallacies of logic

Last updated on: January 22, 2014 at 8:08 am By whiskeyguest

baptism… tongues… You grow up figuring out how to sleep. You find melatonin, or Benadryl, and occasionally abuse Tylenol p.m. You don’t talk about it in church. People will make it out to be demons. Or something to be controlled by prayer and fasting. Mostly, you do anything to avoid being hospitalized. Hospitalization takes away your god-likeness. And that’s one thing that the mania gives you. God-likeness. BUT you must be in control of this and not go crazy. And... Read more

Dignified Dialogue

Last updated on: January 20, 2014 at 9:03 am By whiskeyguest

Guest Post by Kathy Escobar. It seems like there are always a lot of sparks flying around the internet. The hotter the topic, the greater the sparks, and it often seems that controversy “sells.” That’s a whole other conversation entirely, but while the internet has so many positives, one of its greatest negatives is that people feel the freedom to say whatever they think without the realities of looking into eyes, being across the table from a real human...

Welcoming, and Affirming… and Baptist

Last updated on: January 18, 2014 at 8:18 am By whiskeyguest

Guest post by Rev. Mindi Welton-Mitchell Yes, those three words can go together. I am a fifth generation ordained American Baptist pastor—my grandfather and his brothers, my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather were all Baptist ministers in West Virginia. My mother was ordained by my home church as a pastor after me, so I get to say that I was also the first woman ordained. I am Christian, I am Baptist. I am also Welcoming and Affirming. This means I welcome... Read more

Balloons, Inspiration & The Butterfly Effect

Last updated on: January 15, 2014 at 1:11 pm By whiskeyguest

When Phil so graciously offered to have me write a guest post in his absence, I asked him if he had a specific topic he wanted me to write about. His response? “Just write about whatever inspires you that day. I trust you.” Wow. Thanks a lot Phil. I appreciate the vote of confidence but as I thought about what to write yesterday I was felt quite uninspired. So, I began considering all the things I could write about… Marital... Read more
