JONATHAN FOSTER / indigo: the color of grief
“Exquisitely etched, in a luring cadence, a daughter lost, a family fractured, fractioned, all in the lower case, not shouting at us, but hard to read. I had to stop and regain my composure. What is this terrible beauty? Not a theology but something softer, more delicate, unprotected, exposed. What is this? A moving poem, certainly, but also a prayer, a wounded word, a broken hallelujah, where a random hug, a hand held through the night, a shoulder touched, are the only amelioration, the only God worthy of our time, the only God there may be, the only way to keep the future open.” John Caputo
In this conversation, the guys discuss Jonathan’s new book, indigo: the color of grief. This conversation invites the love of God into our loss, disappointment, and fragile trust.
“In this stunning reflection on loss and suffering, we do not simply observe one person’s grief but find words that might help us as we tarry with our own.” – Peter Rollins

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.
QUOTES
“In the history of Christian theology the major Christian theologians have denied that God is relational, people like Thomas Aquinas, Augustine, Martin Luther, John Calvin, they say, nope God doesn’t receive, God isn’t affected and relational theologians like me say, ‘you got it wrong, we need to think relationally.’”
Regarding the Open aspect of Open and Relational Theology, “So much of what we read about God in scripture is undermined if you think God is perfectly timeless.”
“We should avoid philosophies that cannot help us talk coherently about love. We should avoid philosophies that make little or no sense of love.”
“If you start with a God of love, who loves everyone all the time, you’re not gonna have a God sending anyone to eternal conscious torment.”
“If we start with love, we’re gonna move away from any notion of a punishing God.”
