This week I get to talk to two good friends, Mat and Micah, about what it means to be a father, what it means to have a father, and what it means for God to be our father.

Mat: Church of the Affirmation.

Micah: The Word in Black and Red.

Friends, welcome back to All Things Made New. This week, I'm talking about some personal changes that are going on with my relations to Christianity, Jesus, and myself.

Aaron J. Smith is a poet, a spiritual director, and a post-Christian theologian. He lives in the pacific Northwest with his wife, two kids, and he loves cheesecake.

This week, we are talking to our new friend, Mae Forrest Barnes.

A former United Methodist pastor and now Episcopalian laity lady, Mae is a worker, a writer, and a PhD candidate at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. In her precious spare time, Mae writes on her blog about theology, culture, politics, and anything that captures her attention, really. With a bachelor’s in English, a master's degree in divinity, she hopes to one day make her desire to teach in a university a reality, but in the mean time, podcasting and blogging will do quite nicely.
