The problem with patriarchal Christianity may seem obvious to many listeners of Irenicast.  It is no surprise to us that patriarchy has done perhaps irrevocable damage to not just Christianity, but the nation as well.  We are seeing the ripples
In this episode Bonnie sits down and has a compelling conversation with Carolyn Baker PhD mostly about her newest book, Confronting Christofascism: Healing the Evangelical Wound.  It is no secret that since 2016 the United States has felt as th
The generational divide in our country feels massive.  With the rise of Gen Z and the sentiment of ‘Okay Boomer’, it doesn't feel as though one generation values the other.  If anything, younger generations especially are scapegoated for the di
In Episode 192 Rebirthing Christmas - Virgin Mary Smashes the Patriarchy, Bonnie, Casey, Jeff, and Rajeev, discuss a broad range of feminist perspectives on Mary the mother of Jesus and virginity. Did ancient communities understand the concept
What is love?  In this episode each host attempts to provide their definition of what they think love is.  It quickly becomes apparent that the concept of love is more difficult to pin down than expected.  Is love a feeling?  Is love an action?
What is hope?  Christianity is filled with buzz words that we can easily take for granted or turn into catch phrases.  In this episode the hosts discuss one of those words, hope.  Hope can mean a lot of different things for different people.  I
What is Faith?  Bonnie, Jeff, Casey, and Rajeev share perspectives that are found just beyond the edge of clarity - “objects” are visible but there is little certainty about what those objects might be. After all, faith is murky and shifty.  As
In Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part Six the co-hosts explore the diversity of what community can be: quilting club, birdwatchers, family-groups (biological or chosen), faith community, and so many more.  While there i

In Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part 4 the hosts discuss the voices that helped them reconstruct some semblance of belief… or non-belief.  The legend and public persona of Rob Bell unexpectedly becomes the yardstick th
In Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part Three, the Irencast crew try desperately to come up with suitable metaphors for the ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ stage in deconstruction.  Since each host had such different experiences
In Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part Two, the discussion centers around the aftermath of waking up.  What do you do with the shame, regret and anger of living in a high control environment?  Each host shares their jour
Beyond the Binary of Deconstruction and Reconstruction Part One explores the first movement in someone’s journey toward change, waking up.  To lay the groundwork, not only for this episode but the episodes to come in this series, each host shar
Since we’ve been gone a lot has happened in the world.  An election, an insurrection, a vaccine, a new president, and a whole lot of the same old crap in the world.  Things have also changed for the hosts of Irenicast.  A lot of personal and pr
What Does Christmas Mean to You? Join the hosts of Irenicast as they ponder the birth narrative, and the multiple ways that the story of Jesus' birth has been told and understood over the years.   Jeff invites the team to consider what Christma
Discovering your authentic self is something that can seem like a vague or cliche notion.  Is there a balance between authentic inner life and authentic communal life?  Where are the tensions?  What does it even mean to be your authentic self? 
In response to a listener question about God’s immutability, all five co-hosts discuss a changing God. The conversation begins with the God of the bible before it turns toward the God of human experience. Co-hosts reflect on the groups that mig
