Louis Dooley and Sam Kee go beneath the surface with the issues that touch our lives. Most of the time, people say what they think others want to hear, rather than what they really believe--and we even put a front on with God. It’s time to examine our BS Faith! These guys have been through the ups and down of life and know the importance of true faith. BS Faith helps people spot their bumper stickers so they can live authentically.

The idea of "Dad" runs deep, in fact, it might be one of the most fundamental things about us. But what is a dad? What is a dad for? What does he do? And what is the difference between a father and a mother? Today's special guest is Dr. Scott Keith, who wrote a book called "Being Dad: Father as a Picture of God's Grace." Dr. Keith offers a beautiful and moving portrait of a father, one which we desperately need to hear. After you listen to this episode, we encourage you to get a copy of the book for yourself (link below).
Dr. Scott Keith is the Executive Director of 1517 @1517org . He has also been a professor. He is the co-host of The Thinking Fellows Podcast and a contributor to 1517 and Christ Hold Fast. He has a doctorate from Foundation House Oxford, studying under Dr. James Nestingen. PLEASE check out the ministry of 1517 and its many wonderful podcasts, which include "through the Bible" shows.

There is much debate surrounding artificial intelligence, AI, and many are cautious about its so-called benefits. But our guest today, Dr. Mark Vernon, brings a more hopeful message: AI is an opportunity for humans to re-learn what it means to be human, to create as humans, and to have intelligence as humans. We talk about a recent video he posted about AI (see below), and unpack what this means for all of us, including those fields that might feel threatened by AI, such as marketers, educators, artists, writers, and so forth. Toward the end, Mike Stanczak and I make specific applications to people of faith.
Dr. Vernon @PlatosPodcasts is a psychotherapist with a private practice in London, and he is the author of many books. He writes on friendship, philosophy, spiritual intelligence, Owen Barfield (the friend of C.S. Lewis), Dante, and living in the modern world. His works have been published by the BBC, Aeon, Church Times, and The Idler. He has a degree in physics, two in theology, and a PhD in Philosophy. He has also been a priest in the Church of England.

Jack is back! And he's going to talk with us about the divine technology of resistance, in the context of artificial intelligence (AI). What can an old, worn tool say to you? When is the last time you walked outside without any shoes on? Do you know what the dung beetle can teach you? If you're out of touch with creation, then you're out of touch with yourself--and God. We think that "sanitized" is always better, but what if we're wrong? Jack Baumgartner is an artist, farmer, poet, woodcarver, storyteller, musician, and thinker. He has more than a little wisdom about our times and how you can stay grounded--literally. You can see Jack's amazing artwork (and plenty of his farm!) on his Instagram account @baumwerkj.

"The kids are not alright." Emilee VerDuin joins us today to talk about Visionary Christian Art, Christianity, and culture. She brings a rich, yet unique perspective that you might be not used to hearing. She is fighting against what the material 'vision' of reality has done to us, by seeing the world through faith. She uses her art to capture what she sees. We look at some of her art in this episode, talk about Jordan Peterson and Carl Jung, and consider what the Orthodox Church can teach us. We end with a note to pastors and church leaders about how to reach the next generation in our chaotic world.

Our culture struggles with defining what a woman or man is, because we do not understand what a human is in the first place. Our friend Dr. Tom Price returns to the show to talk about this crucial question. Starting with the nature of Christ, he helps us to understand the heights and depths of ourselves, what is known as biblical anthropology. Not only that, but we learn about our purpose, how to order our lives the right way, and what to do when we don't know what to do. You'll probably need to listen to this episode a few times in order to glean all of its riches.

There’s much more to the household than you realize, in fact, it is a pattern of the whole cosmos. If you desire to be healthy and whole, live out your faith effectively, and properly care for those around you, then you need to see what the connection between the household, the cosmos, and your life is. Today’s guest is Rev. C. R. Wiley, whose books include “In the House of Tom Bombadil” and “The Household and the War for the Cosmos,” which we discuss on today’s episode. C. R. Wiley is a pastor in Washington, he has been a college professor, real estate investor, a home improvement contractor, and a writer and illustrator. He is also one of the hosts of the Theology Pugcast. Also, we’ve got a special guest host today, Pastor Mike Stanczak, who helps us dig into this conversation.

What do you get when you mix Chris Farley with Jason and the Argonauts? Meet Jason Farley! (Without all the tragedy of both characters, of course.) Jason is a comedy writer, poet, podcast host (Knox Unplugged) and all around adventurer, trying to reclaim the golden globe, I mean golden fleece, from Hollywood. So far, Jason’s adventures are worthy of lore, or should I say, LOOR, as in LOOR.TV. That’s right, Jason Farley is the mind behind the new television platform LOOR.TV, which is seeking to host all the tv stories that Hollywood doesn’t want you to see. Today, our topic is another one of Jason’s interests: Belly Laughs. Specifically, what is the place of humor in the Christian story, and why do Christians need to recapture the power of levity? This naturally leads us to talking about G.K. Chesterton. And along the way, Louis engages Jason with a discussion about race in movies and media. It’s a hot one today! If you want to learn how you can support LOOR.TV and subscribe, go to http://loor.tv
