In 2026, we are working to get two podcasts off the ground:

Dystopian Theology is about reframing big, existential questions in the wasteland between popular religion and secular culture.

We believe that we cannot arrive at satisfying answers about spirituality, justice, and the evil in the world if we haven’t asked the right questions. This podcast is about doing theology and asking good questions for the dystopias we live in. It’s about discovering what kinds of truth and beauty can hold when all the systems around us fail.

While we will share research, theology, and information, we don’t aim to convince people to see things a certain way. Rather, we want to offer people new lenses they can use to see what they already know and experience with greater clarity. We aim to tell the truth about the social systems we live in, and ask what a new way of being human might look like as the old ones begin to fail.

Here are some of the themes we plan to explore:

●      Violence: Its causes and cures from a holistic, theological, and multicultural/honor-shame informed lens.

●      Analysis of current events and trends: What is happening in U.S. society and around the world? How can we better understand our struggles with polarization and violence, so that we can be equipped as peacebuilders where we are?

●      Early Christianity and history of theology: Why does western thought look the way it does? What social, political, and other forces have shaped the trajectory of Christian theology and practice, along with other western spiritualities? How does ancient Christianity resonate with traditional and non-western cultures?

●      Peace and justice advocacy: What are the practical tools? And how do we become the kind of people who can build bridges with those who are different from us—even our enemies?

●      Reindigenizing theology and multicultural perspectives: Not just to deconstruct, but also to build new alternative frameworks for spirituality and community life.
