Soul Science Ministries with Joshua R. Farris

In this episode of It's a Theological World After All, host Joshua Farris sits down with pastor and theologian Ryan Rippee to explore this deeply neglected doctrine.

When you hear the word "God," what immediately comes to mind? For many of us, it is a generic, undefined creator.

But as Andrew Hollingsworth points out, a truly Christian imagination is distinctly Trinitarian. Through our teaching, our daily prayers, and our liturgies, we must actively train our minds to immediately recognize and worship God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

What happens when the heart stops beating? 🫀

We often assume that death is the final end of consciousness, but thousands of end-of-life reports suggest otherwise. From near-death experiences to the sudden clarity of terminal lucidity, these unexplainable phenomena point to a profound spiritual reality that a purely materialistic worldview struggles to explain.

Swipe through to explore the mystery of the dying brain and the compelling evidence that our consciousness survives bodily death. ✨

One of the great assumptions of the modern age is that we are simply our brains, and that consciousness ceases at death. But what if the experiences of the dying tell a profoundly different story? In this episode of It's a Theological World After All, host Joshua Farris sits down with Professor Stephen Miller to explore the fascinating, heavily researched world of near-death experiences (NDEs) and deathbed visions.

For many Christians, the Trinity can feel like a confusing math problem or an abstract theological riddle meant only for academics.

But it is actually the foundational language of our faith. It shapes how we view reality, how we engage with science, and how we relate to God. We cannot treat the Trinity as an optional add-on; it is the core of who God actually is.

Ecclesial Orders Reflect Creation and Redemption.
The ecclesial structure of holy orders is grounded in this creational and redemptive framework.

Similarly, the Church is symbolically feminine, as the Bride of Christ. This dynamic of “similarity and difference” informs the distinctiveness of roles within holy orders.

Are systems like ChatGPT really destroying the truth, or are they just reflecting our own deeply flawed human nature? In this episode of It's a Theological World After All, host Joshua Farris sits down with Professor Jimmy Alfonso Licon to explore his provocative paper, ChatGPT is bullshit partly because people are bullshitters. We dive into Harry Frankfurt’s famous concept of "bullshit" and ask a difficult question: is the problem with AI's lack of truth-telling a technological flaw, or does it stem from the fact that it’s trained on human language? From the utility of self-deception in our relationships to the philosophical pursuit of plausibility over truth, we unpack what AI reveals about the fragility of the human ego.

In Ephesians 5:22–33, Paul explicitly connects the creational pattern of marriage to the mystery of Christ and the Church. He writes, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church” (Ephesians 5:31–32, NIV).

Creation provides a typological framework for understanding God’s relationship with humanity.

This “similarity and difference” is not merely functional but theological, pointing to God’s purposes for human relationships and worship (Genesis 1:27).
