In the Coracle

Introducing the “Questions of Faith and Doubt” podcast

October 13, 2005 // Tags: Emerging Church, Podcast, Spirituality, Technology

I decided it would be fun to try my hand at podcasting. After trying to figure out how to focus that effort, I think I found something that I haven’t seen out there yet, and which I enjoy doing. I enjoy digging into Scripture and asking questions that make people think, stop, process. I enjoy telling stories. I enjoy raising doubt in people of faith, and faith in people of doubt. So that’s sort of the rough plan. It should be radically different from all the Bible Answer Man - like podcasts already out there if all goes well.

Because the goal for this podcast overlaps some, but not a huge amount, with this here blog, I decided to separate the two (primarily so that people coming to the podcast aren’t overwhelmed when I start ranting about incarnational spirituality over here, or whatever). Time will tell if this was a good decision.

You can find QFD at http://faithanddoubt.blogspot.com/, or subscribe directly to the Feedburner feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/QuestionsOfFaithAndDoubt.

We’re also planning to start recording the sermon//discussion time in our church’s weekly worship gatherings, and podcasting them as well. This is a bit trickier to do, as it’s hard to mic a whole room as opposed to one speaker, but we’re going to experiment a bit. When that gets up and running, I’ll post here as well.

Please subscribe to the podcast, leave feedback, and point others to it if you think they’d appreciate it. Episide 0 went up yesterday, and I’m working on Episode 1 now.

Introduction

Welcome! I'm Pat, and I'll be your host here. Please comment on what you see here. I am a lay missionary to North Bend on the east side of Seattle, a husband, dad to 2 kids, a software test architect for DeepRockDrive, a web software company that does live, interactive concerts streamed over the Internet. I'm also a failed and (quite possibly future) church planter and a Doctor of Ministry student with Bakke Graduate University, and usually on this blog we discuss Christian spirituality (especially of the Celtic, post-Evangelical, post-Charismatic and neo-monastic flavors), photography, motorcycles, and other oddball things.

About the Coracle

The ancient Celts traveled in coracles - handmade, wooden framed and hide-covered boats, to journey where the trinitarian God led them. Though the transportation was simple, the journey was profound. This image is an illustration of the way I experience God's guidance - an invitation to travel with him on his paths, not mine; at his pace, not mine.
