A proposito di questo titolo

Inspired by G.K. Chesterton's book Heresy, "Why I'm Not" is a one-season podcast about my journey in and through Christian fundamentalism. Far from an academic treatment of any topic, this is more like a friendly coffee conversation centered around big ideas about God, the Bible, ministry, and life.

This project began as simple live video broadcasts on Facebook that surprisingly received thousands of views and inspired no shortage of dialogue, both online and off. After hearing from several folks who wanted access to the content — and since Facebook deletes videos after thirty days — I decided to recreate the material as a single-season podcast.

Join me on a journey of verbal processing and theological reflection. Whether you agree, disagree, or are simply undecided, I hope these episodes inspire you to think and maybe even crack open your Bible and consider why you believe what you do.

Here's the episode list:

Episodes 1 and 2 released in late December 2025. A new episode will drop every Monday starting on January 5th.

  1. On Heresy & Heretics
  2. Why I'm Not a Fundamentalist
  3. Why I'm Not a Calvinist
  4. Why I'm Not a Young Earth Creationist
  5. Why I'm Not a Cessationist
  6. Why I'm Not a Dispensationalist
  7. Why I'm Not Big Mad About Women in Ministry
  8. Why I'm Not Sure About the Traditional View of Hell
  9. Why I'm Not Getting Over Jesus
  10. Postlogue: I love Jesus, but I will block a bro.

    Why I'm Not a Cessationist
    Jan 18 2026

    I've heard people bark in the Spirit. I've seen people roll in the Spirit. I've also sat in Baptist churches that might not know the Spirit if He slapped them in the face.

    What's a Christian to think?

    In this episode, I unpack why I no longer buy into arguments that the gifts of prophecy and tongues have ceased. While avoiding extremes and spectacles, we should expect these gifts to function until Jesus returns—even if that makes us a bit uncomfortable.

    Why I'm Not a Young Earth Creationist

    Some people try to put God in a box. In this episode, I try to put him in a bucket. Listen all the way through, and you'll figure out what I mean.

    I’m sharing this episode, not just because I’m not a young earth creationist and want to explain why. It’s really more than that. I think this issue has become needlessly divisive among certain Christian tribes in the United States—my tribe included.

    NOTES:

    I highly recommend John Lennox's book Seven Days That Divide the World.

  • Why I'm Not a Calvinist

    Why I'm Not a Calvinist
    Jan 5 2026

    In 2006, Calvinism was making a comeback. Evangelicalism was buzzing, and Christianity Today gave the moment a name: “Young, Restless, and Reformed.” Southern Seminary was given the label “ground zero.”

    I was there—fresh PhD, junior faculty member, associate dean, newly minted Vice President for Communications. I had a book contract, expanding opportunities, and a front-row seat to the resurgence.

    But over time, Calvinism lost its appeal. I found it increasingly difficult to use in making sense of the Bible. Like when a restaurant turns down the lights and turns up the ambient music, it became a struggle to read the text and hear the over-arching message. This episode is why I left T.U.L.I.P. in the dust.
