Notes:
Sheri Harkin's Group: Met a few times

Grew up full gospel, evangelical, lost of legalism, forced faith situations

Felt very purposeless

JBP about 2017/18

Started to explore his faith again, through intellect first, rationalization first

By applying the principles in his first book from a brush with suicide into a highly selected film program,

Pursuing his career within a year

Difficulties with his film program, basically had to leave the program because of how they were handling COVID

Mono-myth stories

Binding of the blades, 5 volume book,

Christopher Nolan's work, best in second or third watch. They get deeper and deeper.

Seven levels of story telling, should gap from 7 to one

Like when non-Christian people take on Christianity in earnest. The gospel according to st. matthew

Gay director, very antagonistic towards the church

Institutional Accountability, Safety-ism and Forgiveness

Thursday Apr 29, 2021

Erin grabs a "randos" slot to share some of her story. She had a close call in a job as an idealistic young woman which set up some trauma dynamics in her. She worked with a forgiveness project but repeatedly saw how institutions respond well to dramatic failures within their systems. How can you hold institutions accountable? How can you make the world safe?

Is it Time to Initiate the Christian Reformed (CRCNA) End of Life Directive?

Thursday Apr 29, 2021

Two weeks ago John Van Donk and I spoke with Clay Libolt about the Reformational Biblical interpretation in the context of the upcoming Human Sexuality report in the CRCNA. This time John brought together two friends for a conversation about more practical matters relating to the denomination. Doug Vande Griend is a lawyer who has extensive experience in the CRCNA at the nexus of the law and the church order. Dale Feikema is the "House Steward" of John's local church. We being talking about some legal things but the conversation eventually pursues whether or not the CRCNA has a mission today.

CRCNA Human Sexuality Report https://www.crcna.org/sites/default/files/human_sexuality_report_2021.pdf

Notes:

Human Sexuality CRC Report: will create discussion and perhaps animosity, division in the CRCNA.

There was a seminary in search of a denomination: Mid-America Seminary

These guys are loyal to a denomination that no longer exists

What is the institutional church

What was the purpose of the CRC denomination: two divinely ordained missions: provide a nurturing, safe, comfortable place for Dutch immigrants, help the assimilate. Sponsor world missions.

Those callings are completing. The CRC end of life directive.

It was that Van Donk that you gave me

Pastors adjusting to evangelical market forces

Generic Christianity,

You don’t find people there, at least not for church.

Pentecostal is significant. Reformed.

Do you have to "believe in God" to Be a Christian? with John Vervaeke and Rafe Kelley

Monday Apr 26, 2021

This follows up on the last Rafe Kelley conversation. Rafe is figuring how what he does believe and should believe. I think this conversation touches on many of the issues that many people are facing today.

Notes
The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram

The problem with the way of knowing that doesn't put you into right relationship with the surrounding world

Da'ath, faith, continuity that brings right relationship

Object oriented ontology, speculative realism, Critical of corrolationism

The only ontology that we admit is our experience, our experience shouldn't constitute half of ontology

Getting us into the right relationship with reality as reality.

Wisdom way of knowing, Wisdom of Jesus,

https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/10/30/new-atheism-the-godlessness-that-failed/

Leonard Cohen Hallelujah

Christianity as our cultural father

Christianity and pluralism

God sacrificed his son

Compelling but not compulsive

Characterlogical level and the scientific level

JV talking to JBP on May 30

Inverted Pascal's wager

Science may only be a be able to exist in the right religious framework

Dewey: democracy and science

Hyper-objects

You need distributed cognition in order to process hyper objects

Democracy and science need distributed cognition to get us in right relationship with hyper objects

Neo-platonism within Christianity

A story, like the story of Christ becomes necessary for the movement to move through a society

Joseph Henrick's argument in the secret to our success

Culture evolve through a Darwinian process

Christianity resurrection: Chesterton

Center: Jesus

Reformation or Axial revolution

Definitive argument: not fundamentalism or utopianism

Jordan Hall rate of change

Conservatism or emergence

Sufficient differences of degree become differences in kind

Christianity didn't Destroy the Classical World, it Rescued it. In Conversation with Rafe Kelley

Saturday Apr 24, 2021

This is my third conversation with Rafe Kelley. You can find a playlist with all of our conversations. Rafe wants to talk about the challenge of the Enlightenment promoters to Christianity.

Notes
Decades in which nothing happens, and weeks within decades happen

Hero vs warrior

Pursuit of self-transcendence

Becoming a sage is an expression of heroism as well

Having to live within a story

Vervaeke, the story is secondary to dialogue and practices

Optimally balanced between challenge and competence

The rise of superman

R Scott Baker, philosopher, fantasy novels, The Darkness That Comes Before

The Second Apocalypse

Factions that have different answers to that question

Sole purpose is to become the self-moving soul, become causal to everything else

Red Cedar Circle revival of Native American beliefs

Two levels of implicit religion

Moral ethic
Religions provide a cultural grammar that informs norms, institutions,

3 levels explicit

Without the supernatural claims, act it out explicitly
You enter into a practice with other Christians
Accepting the Xian epistemology or ontology of the nature of being, Christ's death and resurrection

Nick Winkelman

Greg Allis

Elite over-production

Sex at dawn

Evolution of play

Questions assumptions we made in the last conversation

Patrick Wyman fall of rome series

The spell of the sensuous

The west, enlightenment, christianity

The divine feminine

Father culture, mother nature, divine individual
