The Hive Switch & The Experience of God: The Science Behind our Transcendent Experiences
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
10/05/22 • 37 min
The moral psychologist Jonathan Haidt proposed in his book The Righteous Mind that humans are "90% chimpanzee and 10% bee." According to Haidt, humans have a "hive switch" that, given the right circumstances, can be switched on and move us from self-centered concerns to a euphoric sense of being connected to some larger whole.
Exploring Haidt's work and the proposal of Emile Durkheim that there's an evolutionary mechanism that psychological moves us from "the realm of the profane" to the "realm of the sacred," we'll take a look at whether or not our experiences of God in Christian worship are nothing more than this hive switch being turned on.
Plus, I'll lay out a case of why studying the science of this should actually convict Christians all the more for the need to practice what the Apostle Paul called the "discerning of spirits."

Ep 45: The Problem of Evil (Part 5)- Will Evil Ever End? Do We Get Sinful Souls from Sex? Do We Have Free Will? (Gregory of Nyssa & Augustine)
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
11/18/19 • 70 min
In part 5 of The Problem of Evil, we explore the theology of Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine in the 4th-5th Century. These two men would become pillars of the Christian traditions of the East and West. It's really important to have listened to Part 4 where we discussed Plotinus and Origen in order to make sense of the theology of both of these men.
We'll see in today's episode how Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine answered questions related to the problem of evil such as:
- How do we define "evil"?
-Will evil ever end? Will God save and restore all things eventually...even the most wicked people?
-Are we born into the world evil, good, or neutral?
-If we do have sinful souls, how did they get to be sinful?
-Are humans free to chose God and the True, the Good, and the Beautiful? Do we have free will at all?
It's hard to underestimate the importance of these men (especially Augustine) in how they influenced most Christians throughout the history that follows on how we think about God, evil, sin, salvation, and even sex.

Ep2: The Theology of Jordan Peterson (Part 2)
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
06/25/18 • 62 min
In this second episode of our three-part series on the theology of Jordan Peterson, we'll explore what I perceive to be some of the theological weaknesses of Peterson's message.
Ep 72: Dr. Russell Moore - Truth Beyond Culture War & Reading Hero Myths in Exile
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
09/28/20 • 68 min
How should Christians in America navigate the "culture war"? Are we forced to choose between either being angry cultural combatants or being passively assimilated into ideologies & guiding stories foreign to the way of Jesus?
How do narratives, especially the hero myths that fill our comic book pages and movie theater screen, invite people to explore theology, ethics, and philosophy? Where might Christ be at work in those stories to reveal what is true, good, and beautiful?
And why might you be watching entire series of The Office for the 100th time?
Our guest to helps us explore these questions is Dr. Russell Moore.
Russell Moore is president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the moral and public policy agency of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. Dr. Moore is the author of several books, including Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel and The Storm-Tossed Family: How the Cross Reshapes the Home. A native Mississippian, he and his wife Maria are the parents of five sons.
Make sure to check out his forthcoming book Courage to Stand here:

Ep 88: The Problem of Evil Finale- The Most Beautiful of All Possible Songs
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
03/08/21 • 91 min
This is the finale of The Problem of Evil series. Last week (Ep 87/ Part 17), I began sharing with you my conclusions and so I think it is important to listen to that one before you listen to today's episode.
I imagine that some of you will still have questions, observations, and probably plenty of disagreements with where I have landed, but know that I welcome them all. The best way to share them is via our Patreon Discussion forum for this episode or by messaging me on Patreon.
The next best option would be to reach out to me on Twitter. You'll find the links for all of those things below.
Some work that I engage with in this episode includes the work of (no particular order):
Karl Barth, Greg Boyd (Open Theism), Thomas Jay Oord, Ireneaus, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Origen, Plotinus, Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Luis De Molina (Molinism), Gottfried Leibniz, Immanuel Kant, Process Theism, and J.R.R Tolkien

Ep 87: The Problem of Evil (Part 17)- In Conclusion | The Bible, Right-Ordered, Non-Ordered, & Dis-Ordered Suffering
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
02/28/21 • 58 min
Well, this year-plus-long series is almost at an end. I have tried to be an impartial tour guide over the past 16 episodes (17 if you included the convo with Greg Boyd & Thomas Jay Oord), but now I get to share with you my own conclusions.
I can honestly say that my own theodicy has changed as a result of going through this series together. This conclusion will be in 2 parts. Today, I talk about what to do with the book of Job and the obvious differences in the Old Testament and New Testament. Plus, I will share some nuanced agreements and disagreements with theologians like Karl Barth and Greg Boyd. I'll also talk about points of connection between the Cross, the Big Bang, and evolution.
Finally, I will lay out three categories for interpreting our experiences of pain or suffering that will serve as an important framework for our finale. Are there evil AND good kinds of suffering? How could we discern them and respond properly?
I'm sure questions and disagreements may abound, so I encourage you to participate in the Group Forum discussion on Patreon. You can find these forums on the Deep Talks Patreon page linked below.

Dr. Jeremy Perigo- The Deep Connection Between Our Guiding Stories, the Arts, Music, & The Liturgies of Church & Culture
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
10/12/21 • 91 min
My guest today is Dr. Jeremy Perigo from Dordt University. He is the Director of Campus Ministries & Worship Arts and an associate professor at Dordt. He is also a visiting lecturer at London School of Theology where he previously spent six years as head of theology, music, and worship programs. Jeremy did his undergrad at Purdue University, then went on to do a Masters in Practical Theology at Regent University and a Doctorate at Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies.
My relationship with Jeremy goes back nearly 15 years as we both worked in deeply Charismatic contexts on things like 24-7 worship and prayer. Like me, Jeremy found that the experiential and mystical dimensions of Charismatic & Pentecostal spirituality fueled a deep desire to know God and understand his world via the life of the mind in more academic theology.
In today's conversation, we discuss the link between our "guiding stories," the arts, music, film, & the liturgical practice of both the Church and the broader cultures we inhabit. How does the story we believe to be true about God & reality shape our practices of worship, but also how can our practices of worship shape the story we believe to be true about God & reality?

Do Christians Have to Believe Young Earth Creationism? (VIDEO EPISODE)
Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner
11/14/23 • 18 min
For the video of the episode on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/R0dKco1cDw4?si=Um0PpY96DJ0mOWIJ
I made this video to help those who, like me, come from church or Christian school contexts where Young Earth Creationism has been treated as the only way to think about science and the Bible.
In this video, I'll explain 3 basic theological reasons why Christians who want to take the Bible seriously don't have to believe in Young Earth Creationism.
