Terrible
I really wanted to like this podcast because I was interested in hearing from the guests. I skipped the first podcast halfway through because of one of the hosts heavy breathing into his phone (which should have been edited out in post production) and started the second one hoping for improvement. The audio got better, but I found the hosts to be rather smug and to offer over simplified and inaccurate explanations, for example, of the differnces between evangelical Christianity (which they accurately described as doctrinally driven) and Catholic - Episcopal - Methodist Christianity(which they described as driven by polity, which is a huge stretch). Most have described the difference between the two as orthodoxy vs. orthopraxy, something I would expect a divinity school graduate to realize. The final straw for me was the comment by one of the hosts that if a Buddhist could get into heaven he would find it awfully hard to follow Jesus. Really? So you are following Jesus only because you get a reward while others are punished? Pretty disappointing, pretty simplistic, and in the end not something I want to waste my time on. Perhaps in the end this is the problem with emergent spirituality - a young leadership can be great, but it can also lack experience and maturity. The question, "Does anyone really believe in ontological changes in Communion and Ordination?" reflects a huge ignorance of the position of Sacramental Christians throughout the world. Whether you agree with them or not, Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, and many others hold to those beliefs. Perhaps a fact checker would do this program good.Read full review »

It's hard to believe that two (somewhat) ordinary guys can get some of the brightest minds in theology to interview on their little (or so it used to be) homespun podcast. Tripp and Chad (whom I know personally) are theological pioneers in their own right. They don't use HBC for their own...Read full review »
