Real Life Radio: Episode 005 – Matthew Distefano, author of All Set Free [Podcast]

 

All Set Free

Well…

It’s been a LONG time since you’ve heard from me, here on the blog, on the podcast, or really, on social media for that matter too. Sorry.

Kind of unintentionally/intentionally, I have taken an extended hiatus from it all. I’ve had some significant life changes involving work and career (I changed firms – check out my new website there), and the needed focus there was enough to pull me into what has been a very welcome respite, that will soon birth some re-focusing and changes in my writing and conversational engagement.

Stay tuned…

Meanwhile, I had a nice opportunity to break the silence to do an interview with my friend, Matthew Distefano, who has recently released his first book, All Set Free: How God is revealed in Jesus, and why that is really Good News.

Real Life Radio

In this interview, Episode 005 of Real Life Radio, you’ll hear:

  • Who Matthew is, and his story – what lead him to challenge the paradigms of God, Jesus, theology, Heaven/Hell, Salvation, violence/non-violence, etc.
  • “Could a good God really exist?”
  • How we all have presuppositions, and how these lenses challenge how we see and experience truth
  • How Mimetic Theory offers a different lens to view who God is and what “justice” is
  • What do we really see in God in Christ on the Cross?
  • What are the positive implications of deconstruction of incorrect theologies, on the way toward finding a God of Peace – one that looks like Jesus?
  • What is Freedom?

Be sure and connect with Matthew on Facebook, at his blog, at The Raven Foundation, and check out All Set Free.

    Heeyyy Brandon!!!! Welcome back man. This has got to be the best email I got this week. 6 months is a long time. Thought maybe you were going to say you had moved your family to India or Nepal or something exotic like that. Gotta tell ya, a new job is a step down from a mountaintop in Nepal.
    Just kidding, hope you and your wife and daughters are doing great. Congrats on the new job and welcome back, you were missed.

    • Alan, you’re so kind. Thank you. Love you, friend.

    Brandon, you probably know this already but Jamal is releasing his book soon. First you released The Path to Freedom, Matthew wrote All Set Free, and now Jamal’s Free to Love. Something good’s happening and your voice/heart would add so much to the conversation.

    Hope the job’s treating you well and not swallowing you. See you back on the field. . . unless you really are on a mountaintop in Nepal. . .

    • Alan! Yep, had the great privilege of being privy to Jamal’s book, and it is beautiful. Can’t wait for you to read it. Stay tuned, friend. I indeed plan on writing again soon. I’ll have a new look and feel here on the site, as well.

    It’s probably violating some blog etiquette to post again so soon but what the heck, screw etiquette. Blizzard has everything here in Joisey shut down. Was out walking the St. Bernard and this song lyric keeps pounding in my head, “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.” The whole vid is good. . . wish I was there. Thought you might enjoy it.
