Episode #11 – "Decide how you want to show up: this is your one and only life!" with best-selling author, theologian and activist Brian McLaren In a time of rising Christian nationalism, oligarchy, and fascism, here at home under the Trump administration, the Republican party and FOX news, as well as around the world, what does it mean to follow the nonviolent Jesus? Brian warns us: "we are going to have to keep our eyes and ears open for the right time to do the right thing" . This week, Fr. John Dear sits down with a provocative Brian McLaren - best-selling author, theologian, and activist - to explore how Jesus challenged the violent rulers of his day and how we can respond with bold, creative nonviolent action today: "Jesus was an agent of dissent" and "He is the absolute inverse of an authoritarian!" Brian McLaren is Dean of Faculty for the Center for Action and Contemplation , founded by Fr. Richard Rohr, and a podcaster with Learning How to See , a leading voice in progressive Christianity. He brings deep wisdom from his books Faith After Doubt, Do I Stay Christian? , and Life After Doom . If you're questioning, resisting, or seeking a faith rooted in justice and peace, this episode is for you. Listen now and join the movement for a fearless, nonviolent faith!
