Religion on the Mind

Joining me today is Rev. Dr. Brian Kaylor to discuss his book "Presidential Campaign Rhetoric in an Age of Confessional Politics." Brian overviews the book's four categories for religious political rhetoric: testimonial, partisan, sectarian and liturgical. We analyze how Evangelicalism has significantly changed the political landscape in the past 50 years.Brian's Book "Presidential Campaign Rhetoric in an Age of Confessional Politics": https://www.amazon.com/Presidential-Confessional-Lexington-Political-Communication/dp/0739148796Word & Way Organization: https://wordandway.org/Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/ Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKoch Faith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/ Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)

In today's delightful conversation with author Erin S. Lane, we talk about her new book "Someone Other Than a Mother: Flipping the Scripts on Woman's Purpose and Making Meaning beyond Motherhood." Erin walks us through the book's critiques of cultural scripts around motherhood and womanhood, offering real alternatives. We also cover theological implications, biological desire, bell curves, and how gender beliefs inform our perceptions of woman's role in modern society.Someone Other Than a Mother” Book: https://www.amazon.com/Someone-Other-Than-Mother-Motherhood/dp/0593329317 Erin’s Website: https://www.erinslane.com/Tom Oord’s Doctoral Program Website: https://www.northwindseminary.org/center-for-open-relational-theologyLora Shahine's Book “Not Broken”: https://www.abebooks.com/Broken-Approachable-Guide-Miscarriage-Recurrent-Pregnancy/31339526224/bd?cm_mmc=ggl-_-US_Shopp_Trade_10to20-_-product_id=COM9780998714608USED-_-keyword=&gclid=Cj0KCQiA37KbBhDgARIsAIzce17_iEx2uU1uODb_teMo8ETiJuLcSKC8CzwCD4P8HBrM_ylU7pIsmBQaAt4kEALw_wcBFollow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/ Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKoch Faith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/ Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)

This is the first of a number of episodes focusing on child raising in and around Christianity. Author and journalist Bekah McNeel joins me today to discuss her book "Bringing up Kids When Church Lets You Down: A Guide for Parents Questioning Their Faith."

We focus on parental humility, attachment wounds, faith assumptions, and widening who gets to participate in the biblical dialogue.Bekah’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Bringing-Kids-When-Church-Lets/dp/0802882099Bonnie Christian’s Book “Untrustworthy”: https://www.amazon.com/Untrustworthy-Knowledge-Polluting-Corrupting-Christian/dp/1587435624 Justin Barrett’s Book “Born Believers”: https://www.amazon.com/Born-Believers-Science-Childrens-Religious/dp/1439196540Meredith Ann Miller’s IG - @meredithannemiller: https://instagram.com/meredithannemiller?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Tina Payne Bryson’s “The Whole Brain Child” Book: https://www.amazon.com/Whole-Brain-Child-Revolutionary-Strategies-Developing/dp/0553386697/ref=asc_df_0553386697/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312177564685&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3177707942758496481&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019667&hvtargid=pla-436541850135&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60258870697&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312177564685&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3177707942758496481&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019667&hvtargid=pla-436541850135 Nomad Podcast “The Spiritually Awakened Brain” with Dr. Lisa Miller: https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/lisa-miller-the-spiritually-awakened-brain-n281/Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.html JoinDan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the four answered questions for the most recent Patreon exclusive episode, focused on personal growth around egoistic tendencies. To become a patron and hear the other three questions answered, head to Patreon.com/dankochThe four questions in the full episode are:1. Could you talk about the effects on the brain (positive and negative) of things like Centering Prayer, Breath work, meditation etc?2. What books are you reading?3. I'd love to hear more about your spiritual experiences and why you feel confident deriving faith from them rather than completely ascribing them to "mere" material brain phenomenon.4. What are you learning about managing (or healing) your egoic strategies (I hesitate to call it arrogance, even though you call it that sometimes), without self shaming or denial -- about how to actively confront personal weaknesses?
