Deeply Spiritual but Rather Uncertain - with Skip Collins

Deep Fake Jesus - America First

America First has been a very popular phrase since 2015 when Donald Trump first ran for President. So how does "America First" square with the Kingdom of God? 

Deepfake Jesus - Mass Deportation Now!

Most people around the world can tell you what Maga stands for. It has been embraced by most Christians in America, especially in evangelical circles. And those people - who I call Christian Maga - managed to elect Donald Trump as President last November.

In my opinion, Christian Maga is neither Christian nor are they making America great. In fact, I am going on a limb here and suggesting that Christian Mega is following a Deepfake Jesus! In this first episode we are looking at one of Christian Mega’s favorite topics, immigration.

Deepfake Jesus - Introduction

Welcome to a new series that I am calling Deepfake Jesus.

Warning: this series is political.

John Ellis - the music and the journey

In this episode, I interview my friend John Ellis of Tree 63 fame. We talk about the music and the spiritual journey of death and resurrection. Or as Father Richard Rhor loves to say, "order, disorder, and reorder". It's a journey of struggle and hope and a fantastic music catalog that speaks to it all. 

Sacred Texts - Galatians 5:22-25

What does it mean to be a Christian? That is the question we are unpacking and looking at what the Apostle Paul wrote about it, in possibly the first book of the New Testament ever penned. 

Sacred Text - New Lens Romans 12:1-2

Today we are starting a new series looking at passages of Scripture that I have always loved but with a new lens. Our first in this series is Romans 12:1-2. 

Intro to Progressive Christianity

You've probably heard the term "Progressive Christianity" somewhere along the way. But it's likely it wasn't in a positive context. So what is Progressive Christianity? What do they believe? Is it even Christian at all? In this episode Skip unpacks some of the core tenets of Progressive Christianity and how it is lived out in the life of a Christian. 

Gender

In this episode, we explore the issues of gender identity, non-binary, trans, and more. Most importantly we look at what the Bible does not say and what it actually does say.

Personal Being or Divine Presence

For all my life, I have understood God to be a personal being rather than some impersonal force. But in recent months the idea of God as a personal being has seemed a very limiting understanding of God. The understanding of God as Divine Presence has become more relevant and helpful for me. So which is it?  Personal God or Divine Presence?

How Did We Get It So Wrong?

The philosophy of the modern mega-church is flawed. Christian Nationalism is dangerous. Jesus shares a very different message in the Beatitudes.
