Justin is an Atheist I met who volunteers with The Atheist Experience. We got on the phone (or the internet) and talked about what it means to him to be an atheist, dispelling some stereotypes about atheists and atheism, and then some deep questions about love and meaning.
Early on in our conversation it became clear we both are for fighting against and us/them mentality. As a Christian, I think it can be easy to think of atheists as the enemy, and so I hope this conversation helps shed light on why atheists can be nice people too, why we probably agree on much more than we disagree, and why its good to have conversations with those whom you disagree.

Justin Cook and I are both part of the RCC family. Justin endearingly says RCC isn't his church, but it's his family. And anyone who knows Justin knows this to be true. There aren't a lot of people I know like Justin, who love others so freely like him. In this episode Justin shares his story of growing up in a cult, how he was kicked out, and how he ended up at RCC.

Robert Walker is a friend and colleague at Booster Enterprises, but he recently started a newsletter for Enneagram 9 Men, aptly called "The 9 Man." It has been a super encouraging newsletter for me, so I wanted to bring him on to talk about why he started it and talk more about the Enneagram and faith.

Church Over Coffee, an original podcast by Super Team Media. Hosted by Chris Randazzo.
Chris is curious about the church. Sometimes passionate. Church Over Coffee for the last couple years has been a way to talk to others about their experience in the church.
The new vision for church over coffee is for normal people who are curious about the church getting together and talking about the church. We want to ask questions, discuss answers, and figure out what it means for our real lives.
Questions We'll Ask: What is the church? How do we participate in the church? How do we participate AS the church? Why care at all? What is the church getting wrong? What requirements are there to be part of the church?
Target Audience: if you're curious about the church, go to church, on a break from the church, have church hurt, if you've given up on the church, if you ask why care about the church? In general, if you like to ask "why?"
New Episodes will air every Sunday.
This podcast is less about critique, and more about encouragement, inspiration, and reconstruction.

________Jordan's Book List_________
Anything by A.W. Tozer (Knowledge of the Holy is my favorite)
The Mission of God’s People by Christopher Wright (this is the one we discussed on air that’s a little easier to read than the Mission of God)
(Re)Aligning with God by Brian Russell (uses a missional hermeneutic for approaching the biblical narrative)
Resident Aliens by Hauerwas and Willimon (a great book on the nature and identity of the church)
Everyday Church by Chester and Timmis (easy read on the identity of the church)
Community by Brad House (pragmatic book on church small groups)
Shrink by Tim Suttle (a good look at how the heart of church is small discipleship over big programs)
They Found the Secret by Edman (great book that explores the experiences of popular historic Christians and their experiences with the Holy Spirit)

Today we get to talk to Bryson Smith! We met Bryson a few months back from following the same podcasts, and we realized we had many mutual friends! Bryson is a former pastor who processes with us why and how he left the church and what is has been like to navigate faith over the course of his life. We talk about church history, not having certainty, and everything in between. Find Bryson on twitter at @sbryson176.
Craig is a pastor's kid. But 5 years ago his father committed suicide. Craig shares with us his dad's story as a pastor, as well as what his life has been like the last 5 years.
Addison Howard is good friend of the show! He has an incredible perspective with his unique background in church, his experience in "nerd school" from high school through grad school, and then moving out to Denver to help with a church plant.
He currently takes up residence in Castle Rock, CO. He's helped plant Front Range Christian Church -- http://www.frontrange.org/ -- where he now serves as an elder. The elder who is younger!
Special thanks to:
Marco Randazzo -- Writer and Performer of theme song.
Addison Howard -- for being our first remote guest!
Martie Hendrick -- for letting us record at the Hendrick home for this episode!
Aimee Miller came over for dinner and to share her story with us! She is a good friend to Hendricks, and now the Randazzos as well! She has an incredible perspective of love for people. She talks about some big events she went through in middle school, getting rejected a few times at Wesley Foundation at UGA, and how she ended up leading worship at a pretty big church in ATL.
I am so excited for you to get to know her more and hear her story! She is currently working on her own solo project, so we'll keep you updated with when and how you can listen!
