Look Good, Do Good An Interview With Udi Behr

Last updated on: October 10, 2013 at 11:49 am By Phil Shepherd

If you haven’t figured it out yet, but the internet is a pretty amazing resource. Without completely divulging all the details about the “man-crush” I have on Mark Zuckerberg, I will admit that I think that Facebook is pretty amazing too. Thanks to Mr. Zuckerberg and the fruits of his labor, I indirectly (through an advert on Facebook) met my latest guest on Outlaw Theology, Udi Behr. Udi is an award winning jewelry designer who help found Love And Pride. “Love... Read more

Hostage To Inerrancy

Last updated on: October 4, 2013 at 10:57 pm By Phil Shepherd

It seems like the U.S. government is not the only institution that is being shut down. In my own naivety, that I will humbly admit to, I was not aware that hostage-taking was a viable negotiation tool for not only political but for religious institutions to use, as their fallback to achieve edicts of power. I know that that U.S. policy is to not negotiate with terrorists; I guess that is why our political institution of congress can’t seem to... Read more

No Longer Praying Out The Gay

Last updated on: September 30, 2013 at 10:48 am By Phil Shepherd

I recently was interviewed by Michelle Krabill about my battle living/ministering with chronic pain for her amazing website wordofawoman.com. You can checkout my interview by clicking here. While I had Michelle in The Outlaw Theology studio (I use the word studio very loosely here), I asked her if I could interview her about her evolution in becoming an Open & Affirming pastor. Michelle is one of the co-founding pastors of Novitas which is a emergentish faith community in the DFW... Read more

That’s right…this video is named after an amazing Huey Lewis & The News song (insert smiley face here). Phil Shepherd aka The Whiskey Preacher spoke at Brite Divinity School Chapel on 9-3-13 on the portion of the “Greatest Commandment” that is often overlooked… loving yourself.

Everyone Has Something (Guest Post)

Last updated on: August 27, 2013 at 7:23 pm By Phil Shepherd

Melissa Pond, an “Original 7” founding member of The Eucatastrophe is author of this amazing guest post of her own courageous battle with fibromyalgia. I am honored to call Melissa a friend and a co-sojourner in this mysterious world of autoimmune disease. I finally decided to put it on social media (Instagram), after 14 years of keeping it very much to myself, that I have fibromyalgia. The timing felt right after more than a decade of silence. I don’t... Read more

Why I am A Disciple… Of Little Gus

Last updated on: August 5, 2013 at 6:21 pm By Phil Shepherd

My father W.A. and I share August birthdays. August 2nd was my father’s birthday. He would have been 72 this year. I celebrated his birthday with good coffee and good whiskey. Pop never drank whiskey because he always said he liked it “too much.” Pop was (and is) the greatest man I have ever known… ever. Growing up Pop went by the nickname Little Gus. My grandfather went by the name Gus, short for Augusta. And since Pop was a... Read more

Still Not Good Enough

Last updated on: June 29, 2013 at 11:00 pm By Phil Shepherd

Some days I want to throw in the towel. My body hurts so bad at times that even my eyelashes cry out for relief. I become so exhausted that even falling to sleep takes up too much energy for me to drum up. No matter what I say, do, or experience, it is a chore to merely exist… My fingers are aching in agony as I type this. Yet I still type. This is not an existential exercise for me... Read more

Job, Tattoos, & The Problem With Pain

Last updated on: June 27, 2013 at 5:07 pm By Phil Shepherd

I often wonder what I have to offer the world… This is not a self-loathing/woe-is-me statement, nor is it a ploy to gain interest in my em(pathetic) story. However, as of late, it’s truly a question with which I’ve been wrestling. Then fuel that question with a month like this past May. May 2013 was a classic cluster in an epic way. Although May was bad, I have perspective. It’s the year of 2009 that holds the mantle of the... Read more

Part 1 With The Postmodern Negro: Being Pushed Into The Kingdom

Last updated on: May 23, 2013 at 12:47 pm By Phil Shepherd

As I continue to explore in asking the questions of what is next for the local and global church, I have had the amazing gift of having conversations with some incredible practitioners all over the U.S. Anthony Smith, a.k.a. The Postmodern Negro is one of those practitioners who is changing what church looks like not only in his local-distinctively-African American-Bible Belt-Southern context, but also taking up the banner to challenge us in the global church to look/examine at how and...
