Ecological Crises & Lament - Brian McLaren

Process This Podcast with Tripp Fuller

What’s up Theology Nerds! We’re diving deep into one of the most powerful sessions from last year’s Theology Beer Camp in Denver – a conversation that honestly left me speechless. Brian McLaren kicks us off with a gut-punch keynote on ecological crisis and the power of lament that’ll challenge everything you think you know about faith in our current moment. Then Jacob Erickson responds with some brilliant eco-theological insights that had the room scribbling notes like crazy. We’re talking about overshoot, oligarchy, the impotence of religion, and what it looks like to let nature save us instead of the other way around. Plus, there’s this incredible discussion about “rebellious mourning” that I’m still pondering. Fair warning – this is raw, honest, and necessary conversation about faith in the face of climate crisis. And hey, if this gets you fired up, there are still about 100 tickets left for Theology Beer Camp 2025 in St. Paul this October. Trust me, you don’t want to miss what we’re cooking up this year!
