Method Theology

Recorded on February 5, 2017   @MethodTheology- HollyB@MethodTheology.com- Donna@MethodTheology.com Don't forget to subscribe! THIS WEEK ON METHOD THEOLOGY... The girls get a little heavy and cover more ground than a trek to Mecca. This episode was formed around how to communicate with people you disagree with and how to cope with Trump. It kind of snowballed... Holly. LOVES. Donna's Grandma. Donna's aunt went to Martin Luther King Jr's church and Holly is super jealous; she even screams. Refugees and the travel ban get covered in a special episode of "Side Notes with Holly" called *drumroll* "Holly's Political Corner"!  Also in "SNH:HPC", Holly wants to take "Under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance. WTF. And, Donna says some smart stuff. A brief rundown of the rest of this week's topics: -Peacekeepers vs Peacemakers -Politics on FB -Slacktivism -Phil Donahue, Sister Souljah, and Cornel West -The importance of black culture and cultural representation in film and pop culture -

So... this is the ladies' fun talk... the one that's not controversial or heartbreaking at all. It's the Pro-Choice/Pro-Life/Anti-Abortion/Anti-Christ?/God only knows what debate. The ladies want to know what Jesus thinks and why you do what you do in response.  On the lighter side... At 14 minutes and 10 seconds into the DVD of Pocahontas, right after she and Meeko go down the waterfall, watch Meeko in the front of the canoe. You won't regret it. Also, Donna's impression of a raccoon DJ at a club. Holly lists off a lot of the women Jesus loved and Donna loves Ethan Renoe again. AND... Christians are mean to each other. Again.

They get to the nitty gritty of Dylan Roof, the death penalty, Osama bin Laden's death, and Christian pacifism. Plus, a little conspiracy theory sprinkled in.

Donna's brother is so hot he gets free food. Donna watched FOX News. Donna got out of bed so the ladies could talk beard hairs, wrinkles, Obama, and what it means to be called "Cute" by men vs women.

This week, the ladies are both back from sabbaticals, where they went away and did stuff (WARNING: this means excessive Side Notes and a lot of topical ground covered); Donna tells you who she's impressed with in a brand new Nerd Out and Holly explains how to discipline your wife. Also on this episode: finding your identity and why it's so effing hard to keep yourself from looking for it outside of Christ, identity subtweets, Donna's selfie coffee table book, Holly's life as a PK Worker Bee, reclaiming the phrase "Let Go and Let God", and how to tell God you're angry at Him... and whether or not that's okay to do. A few scriptures mentioned: Mark 1:16-20, Ephesians 1:11, Amos 5:21-24. OH! And there's a brand new episode of "Times When Holly and Donna Totally Knew What They Were Doing"! Plus, much, much more! Thanks to BenSound.com for the Royalty-Free tunes, and as per usual, WARNING: some language may offend, so cover up them sweet li'l ears if you need to. #BackgroundProud  

Holly loves snow. A lot. And cusses. A lot. The ladies share a little bit about how they met Jesus and what happened right after and a long time after. This is how they feel about how they feel and how they feel about how their friends feel. This is where they talk about what salvation is and what it means. This is running out of clever verbal high jinks at 2 AM. Happy Thursday! Thanks for listening!

On this week's episode of Method Theology, a conversation on comparison culture morphs into a discussion on white and black beauty; Donna may backhand Holly over sports at some point and Holly may kind of deserve it. On small towns vs big cities, Holly gets cocky; she knows it, and she feels bad about it. The ladies talk about why beauty standards aren't good for anybody, anybody at all.

Donna dabbles in potty humor. Holly reflects on Chick-fil-A life. Both ladies figure out what they want out of the next year and what they got out of the last year. Happy New Year.

Please accept the girls' utmost apologies for the late post this week. Between excessive technical difficulties for both ladies and a personal crisis for Holly, posting on Thursday just wasn't possible. BUT- they're back with a vengeance:  There's a NEW SEGMENT called "Side Notes" and MORE BLOOPERS! Anyway, in this episode, a house burns down, Holly explains how not to date, and Donna absolutely crushes a first grader's heart. Also, opossums! Much love, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! (WARNING: As always, there may be language some deem offensive.)

The girls have an EEEEEEEEEEEASTER EEEEEEEEEEEEGG! Not really, there's just a blooper reel at the end of the show, but stick around for it anyway. On this episode, the ladies talk about what it means to be a Christian and a feminist, and whether or not the two are mutually exclusive. Holly pontificates on traditional gender roles and submission and Donna talks about Oprah and Trans' Rights debates. Favorite quotes, (Donna, on getting cat-called) "Imagine someone walking up really close to you and just being completely silent." Also on this episode: "Would Jesus cat call?" Email the ladies at HollyB@MethodTheology.com! We can't wait to hear from you; please, suggest topics, ask questions, and tell us how wrong we are. We want to know what you think! Thanks to Bensound for the Royalty Free Music in the Blooper Reel!

Let's talk about sex, baby! Let's talk about you and me... Donna and Holly B are gettin' down to the nitty gritty: hook-ups, purity, assault, celibacy, orgasms, hymenal health... all of it. Mostly, they're worried about what "virginity shaming" does to young girls and women in church. How should the church be talking about sex? Probably not as graphically as Holly B and Donna, but maybe a little closer to it than what's going on now. (WARNING: This episode includes graphic language and frank discussion regarding sex, as well as some swearing. While all content is well-intended, it will most likely be offensive to some users. If you are under 18, probably listen with a parent.)

Never wear a purple hat. Ever. Holly and Donna discuss the propers of hearing from God, loving good bloggers, and discernment. Also, if you can guess Donna's email password, they'll send you a shirt, because they have no idea what it is and it'd be really great if they could get into her inbox. Email us at hollyb@methodtheology.com.

How the ladies feel about the church's approach to congregational witnessing, people who leave tracts in lieu of tips, weird evangelical encounters, and Donna's encounter with Cotton Eye Joe in a bank... where did he come from? Where did he go? Where did he come from, Cotton Eye Joe?. (WARNING: Holly gets self-righteous and uses a little "fancy" language.)

Donna loves everybody; Holly's really, REALLY left... kind of, and both of them really just want to fix it all. Also, SHOCKER, Donna's a hippie. (WARNING: Language may offend)

Revolutionary Christian art; faith in God's wisdom in creation and calling. Holly's a little in love with Jon Foreman; Donna remembers Texting with Gosling, and the girls debate moral and merciful legalism. Oh! And Johnny goes drinking at the bar. Who's Johnny? Listen to find out.

The ladies get cat-called; Holly looks English, and Donna feels all the black experience. (WARNING: Some language and content may offend)
