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. The mental road trip is paved with 80s and 90s pop culture references. No apologies. Whether you agree, disagree, or are simply undecided about topics I discuss, 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

    B3: Drifting, Grifting, or Shifting
    Mar 31 2026

    It’s a strange thing to hear about people talking about your convictions—not just challenging them, but labeling them. Lately, I’ve found myself placed into a couple boxes by some have been critical of things I’ve shared: Let’s call them drifting and grifting. Then there’s a label I would use of my process, which is shifting.

    B2: You Might Be a Fundamentalist If . . .

    One of the most common discussions points I’ve had about the podcast is about what I mean when I use the term fundamentalism. I unpack what I mean by fundamentalism – and why I’m trying not to be one – in episode two. But it seems a bit more clarification might be helpful.

    In a recent conversation about the podcast with a Southern Baptist leader, I used a metaphor from C.S. Lewis that seemed useful. Lewis once compared Christianity to a great house. The central hallway is the shared core of the faith—belief in Christ, the creeds, the big essentials.

    In this podcast, I oultine a few ways we drift into fundamentalism using Lewis' house metaphor.
