Thomas Jay Oord Open & Relational Theology
Thomas Jay Oord shares about open relational theology; how it connects with the way we live and matches our deepest intuitions. The guys talked about a relational God who is genuinely loving, looks like Jesus, and walks through each day with us, impacting and impacted by our friendship. Thomas describes an uncontrolling, loving God, that harmonizes with scripture. In this podcast, he dives into the subjects of hell, prayer, and evangelism all through the lens of open relational theology.
Jason Clark is a relational theologian, storyteller, husband, and dad who believes the gospel is better than the last time we checked. He's the author of several books, the host of Rethinking God with Tacos, and lives in Cornelius, NC, with his wife, Karen, and their four kids.

Hi guys. Thanks for the pod-cast, really enjoy them. John Crowder has done a really good teaching on Open Theism, looking at it from a Christological standpoint which I have found really helpful. Its worth looking at. Its on his Jesus Trip videos, just google “John Crowder Open Theism”. Centering around Jesus, we see God’s sovereign choice and plan, and mans response to that fulfilled in the hypostatic union – Jesus (the beginning and the end), and this was clearly known before the foundation of the world 🙂
Thanks again for your podcasts.
Hey, James!
Love John Crowder, we will actually have him on in a couple of weeks, maybe Open Theism will be the topic of conversation 🙂
Glad the podcast is blessing, thanks for reaching out.
