Process, Cosmology, and Exo-Theology with Andrew Davis

In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, philosopher Andrew M. Davis joins hosts Jay McDaniel and Jared Morningstar to explore how process philosophy, aesthetic values, and spiritual formation intersect across theology, science, and personal narrative.

Raised in an evangelical context, Davis shares how thinkers like Whitehead, Hartshorne, and Max Scheler helped him move beyond deconstruction toward a renewed vision of reality shaped by beauty, truth, and goodness.

This episode explores:

• The aesthetic foundations of value and metaphysics
• Whitehead’s vision of a universe in process and perpetual becoming
• Evangelicalism, post-evangelicalism, and the "anatheistic" journey of returning to the sacred
• Process views of teleology, eschatology, and the God of love
• The evolving role of religious ideals, compassion, and purpose in a fluid cosmos
