Tim Burnette is the lead pastor at Way Collective, a community of shared practices and values, in Santa Barbara, CA. (https://www.waycollective.org/) Tim is a dreamer, philosopher, and theologian. He has spent years reflecting on the evolving Christian faith, and earned his doctorate from Claremont School of Theology, where he studied process metaphysics, philosophy and theology, and compassion. A self-proclaimed Whitehead nerd, he embraces theopoetics as a lens for seeing the world, with a practical emphasis on communal formation, beauty/aesthetics, and spirituality. He is a partner, father, writer, musician, and avid reader. His interests include vinyl, food, philosophy, poetry, guitar tones, baseball, and all things on the fringe. He is an advocate for love and reconciliation across boundaries of faith and non-faith.  He agrees with Vonnegut that you can see all kinds of things from the edge that you can’t see from the center. Although...sometimes it helps to be centered out on the edge as well.   A Poem by Tim Burnette:  Every breath of the world  is a dying into life.  Like the dew of dawn  soft as sea glass,  wet with possibility,  waits in darkness for the silent voice. That ceaseless refrain  calling stardust to sigh.  Nudging it perpetually  unto its becoming. To risk the drench of wonder again and birth a day  unlike any other day. Young and wild, with light  quivering like a fawn,  naive and new,  fresh and intoxicating as baby's breath.   A momentary bloom of the timeless and flashing dance  that wilts evermore  back into the belly of reality. As the dampening glow of Mother Eve spreads her cascading melancholy.  A balm of passing beauty  that coats like honey  and conspires in all things  welcoming each one in its goodness.  To the rising chest of the horizon  and to its tender, falling return.   A Blessing by Tim Burnette: Go now and bless the whole world For we are all connected. Say yes to your life’s adventure Noticing and cultivating Beauty as you go. Cover one another with a friendly presence Laugh with those who are joyful And cry with those in sorrow Eat with anyone and everyone  Always doing your best to ensure that those without have enough And love with courage For love is the only way forward And you are loved, you are loved,  You are deeply loved Remember there is grace and beauty in the becoming And go in the name and peace of Christ.  Amen.

Long December, written and directed by Thomas Torrey, with the musical talents of Stephen Williams and John Mark McMillan, is a musical drama about a struggling musician chasing his dreams of stardom. The film features a soundtrack of original music captured live on-camera, and is a poignant story about hopes, ambitions, failure and success. This thoughtful edition to the Christmas movie genre, steps away from the rom-com, and into reflection on what it means to experience a life well lived. This movie is worth watching all through the Advent, Christmas, and New Year seasons. We sit down with writer and director, Thomas Torrey, to talk about the movie and explore the realities of changing dreams and hopes, and how we learn to live with life the way it shakes out. We'll hear about his recent NY marathon triumph, how the movie came about, the starring musicians, and future plans.  You can learn more about Long December at longdecember.movie and https://www.instagram.com/longdecember.movie/ If you would like to host a showing, reach out to Thomas on IG.  //// If you are a fan of any of our Brew Theology shows, give this episode a share on the interwebs, rate Brew Theology on iTunes and give BT a brewtastic review!

If the world is governed by certain physical laws, what does it mean for God to act in the world? During this episode, Dr. Brian Gamel will talk with us about Rudolf Bultmann! (one of the greatest theologians of the 20th Century!) We'll look at the context around Bultmann’s theological development, his view of demythologizing God, the Resurrection, and other aspects of divine action in the modern world. So, get ready to pour yourself a devilish, high gravity barrel aged stout, & Prost to another brewtastic conversation! // Dr. Brian Gamel is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Baylor.

In Part 2 we'll look at some of the ways this shows up in Church as well as our own personal journey.  //Dan C is an accomplished engineer who has worked everywhere from NASA to large tech firms.
