The Beer Christianity podcast has been around for a few years. This website not so much. We’re in the process of adding all previous episodes, but that will take a while because we are all very busy and also very lazy. More (well, all) episodes at our old, ugly Libsyn site (and on all good podcast platforms).
Latest episodes:
Episode 103: Steve Chalke - the only Oasis interview you need
Steve Chalke is a big deal in the UK Christian scene. He's the founder of Oasis, a former high-profile broadcaster and a controversial figure among conservative churches and leftists. We only argue with him a little bit.
Episode 102: Flamy Grant - Drag, Christian music and authenticity
Flamy Grant was the first drag artist to top the iTunes Christian music charts. She has made at least one Beer Christianity host cry. It's mostly laughs, tho, in this interview recorded at Greenbelt 2024.
Episode 101: Greenbelt 2024 review
Greenbelt 2024 was lovely. Here's our rundown of what we loved. What was your Greenbelt like?
Episode 100(!): Paul Northup - Greenbelt, deconstructing and reconstructing
Greenbelt is the best festival in the world. Maybe even the UK. And the Creative Director joins us at his busiest and most stressful time of year to talk festivals, guests, art and spirituality in a hope-filled episode that also happens to be our 100th.
Episode 83: Greenbelt 2023 Review - beer, hymns, thems and us
Greenbelt Festival is a progressive, feminist, LGBTQI+ affirming, Palestine-solidarity, post-capitalist, Christian, spiritual festival of arts, justice, ideas and music. It’s way more fun than that makes it sound. This is our experience of it in 2023.
Episode 80: Paul Northup on 50 years and the future of Greenbelt Festival
How are the origins of Greenbelt Festival (50 this year) linked to the Hippie movement? When and why did churches stop sending youth groups to Greenbelt? And why, now, might they start sending them again? Festival Director Paul Northup talks history, spiritual impact and how Greenbelt has always felt different from other Christian festivals.
