Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
What is Faith? Bonnie, Jeff, Casey, and Rajeev share perspectives that are found just beyond the edge of clarity - “objects” are visible but there is little certainty about what those objects might be. After all, faith is murky and shifty. As the crew discusses the evolution of their personal faith journeys they confront each other by what is meant by faith and how the misunderstanding and misuse of the term has caused a lot of confusion within, and between, people.
The hosts delve into the realities, and tensions, of whether faith is a personal thing, a communal thing, neither, or both. True to the Irenicast way - you may have to decide this for yourself.
After a winding and personal conversation on faith, the team finishes off this episode with a round of “Faith Songs.” Brace yourself for some cringes, some “oh yea, that’s my jam,” and “oh, hell to the no.” And - if you are up for it, the hosts would love to hear your definition, understanding, experience, of faith. You can contact them at irenicast.com.
Thanks for listening.
