Back in August we Friars and Fools were guests on Pastor Nar’s podcast Losing My Religion. During the episode we called out the Homebrewed Christianity crew for a “theology-off” (whatever the hell that is). The host of that fabulous podcast, Tripp Fuller, responded in good humor on Twitter and later encouraged us to come to Soularize so we could share a beer and geek out over some good theology together. We accepted.
At Soularize Tripp and Bo did an awesome live version of their podcast, hosted a few different workshops and we got to talking process theology, postmodern philosophy, and identity politics. We turned the camera on Tripp during one of these conversations for some awesome, offensive, insightful pontificating. Enjoy.

Tripp Fuller
(@TrippFuller)is married to an awesome lady Alecia and has a handsome little baby boy named Elgin Thomas (aka E.T.) and Pebbles, the Schnoodle. He and Alecia are both graduates of Campbell University (where they met), the Divinity School of Wake Forest University and ordained ministers. He is working on his PhD in Philosophy of Religion and Theology at Claremont Graduate University. A few other things he digs are books, cigars, pipes, Shaq, guitar, pirates, fishing, the Counting Crows, and good conversations about Religion and Politics. His podcast, Homebrewed Christianity, is the most time consuming hobby he has ever had besides reading and blogging through Wolfhart Pannenberg’s 3 volume systematic theology.

Fullerisms
I am no longer "Open & Affirming, but Welcoming & Embracing."
"Why do I have to be in the bounded set of the alphabet?"
"We start playing politics with people. And with politics comes
all that it means to justify our positions."
"What does it mean to be made human anew in light of God's coming, the gift of
divine light given to all the world in Christ?"
"Gay people don't prey upon you."
"If your welcoming and embracing you're welcoming everything God made,
and every person God made, in the image of God that they are bearing."
"Rather than focusing on one type of set of people, you are
welcoming the very gift of God that God made in everyone."
"[We] are to embrace all the crap and beauty in a person's life
without ideological constraints or pre-conditions...
A life that God comes into and radically transforms."
