The Radical Coloring of Advent with Christopher Rodkey
About this episode
Rev. Dr. Christopher Rodkey, the sermonizer of radical theology, is back to talk about Advent, radical theology, and church planting.
Make sure to check out the Coloring Advent coloring book with Jesse and Natalie Turri (also Coloring Lent). Christopher talks with Tripp about why they made an Advent coloring book, what led to its development, and what the process of creating a theological coloring book was like.

the political aspects of Advent,
what is it that we are lamenting when we talk about the secularization of Christmas?
did the Grinch become Christian?
preaching Advent
The conversation also touches on Christopher's experiment with church planting within a church, rethinking adult VBS, and using biblical hermeneutics as a way of approaching the world. He gets really practical, gives a ton of great advice for seminarians, pastors, and all people who care about the future of the church. Plus you'll get to hear about his passion project, The Radical theology Handbook.
