Rethinking God with Tacos PODCAST

What if we read the story of Ananias and Sapphira with a Christological hermeneutic and thus the conviction that God doesn’t kill people? What might Acts 5 show us about what fear can do to a leader and to the community that trusts him? In this unique episode of Rethinking God with Tacos, Jason shares three Taco Tuesday sessions from the RGWT Circle Community. He reads from his chapter Freely You Have Received, and revisits Acts 5 through the lens of Jesus, asking what might have happened if Peter had offered Ananias and Sapphira the same kind leadership Jesus had offered him. Then he shares a little of what he’s writing for a new book, including why he believes trust is earned through other-centered, self-giving, co-suffering love, and how becoming more convinced of our Father’s love gives us the humble confidence to say, “I don’t know, but he’s good.”Join RGWT Circle Community:https://rethinkinggodcommunity.com/JOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field-76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8

Recorded live at the 2026 Rethinking God with Tacos Reunion, with plenty of laughter and a room full of honest questions, Jason Clark and co-host Derek Turner join C. Baxter Kruger and John Crowder for a wide-ranging conversation about the love of God—and the beliefs that keep us from experiencing it. From hell, salvation, and God’s wrath to speaking in tongues, women in ministry, and raising children beyond fear-based religion, the conversation keeps returning to Jesus and our union with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. With personal stories, theological insight, and some affectionate troublemaking, the guys explore the freedom of trusting Jesus’ faithfulness, discovering God’s presence within us, and growing confident in a love that never quits.C.

Jason sits down in Australia with Jesudian Silvester and Gary Grant for a heartfelt, often hilarious conversation about the Father’s love becoming real in our everyday lives. Jesudian shares his journey from religious performance and hidden shame into the freedom of being fully known and loved, while Gary reflects on the friendship and fathering that helped shape a community in Chennai, India. Together, they explore union with God, the healing that happens within safe relationships, and why our theology must find expression in how we love our spouses, children, and one another. Through deeply personal stories, they reveal a Father who never looks away—and a gospel that gives us the courage to stop hiding.For more content like this, go to:https://afamilystory.org/JOIN our RGWT Subscriber-Based Community:https://promo.fourriversmedia.com/rethinking-god-with-tacos/JOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field-76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!! https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8

What if freedom isn’t simply escaping pain, fear, or religion—but finally becoming who you were created to be? In this conversation, Jason and Bob Hamp explore the transformational difference between living for God and living from God, why relief is only one stop on the journey to freedom, and how hearing God’s voice untangles the wounds, lies, and false identities that keep the real you hidden. Together, they reimagine discipleship as more than gaining information—it is learning to receive the life of God, rest in His affection, and live as the truest expression of yourself.For More Information on Bob: https://tdacad.com/

In this deeply moving conversation, Jason sits down with author and minister Terry Tripp to explore what happens when we allow Jesus—not fear, religion, or retribution—to reveal exactly what God is like. Terry shares his journey from growing up on TBN and traveling millions of miles in ministry to discovering the absolute goodness of God, including the sacred moment with his dying father that completely redefined ministry for him. Together, they reconsider the stories of Moses, the woman caught in adultery, and especially Judas—asking whether the church leaves broken people with hope or a rope. This is a powerful conversation about union, grace, identity, the end of separation, and a Father who never stops calling us His friends.For more info on Terry: https://terrytripp.com/JOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field 76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8

Bob Switzer returns for a conversation about reading Scripture through one life-changing conviction: God has always been as good as Jesus reveals. Together, Jason and Bob revisit Moses, Jericho, Ananias and Sapphira, and Jesus clearing the temple, exploring what changes when we question the violence attributed to God and recognize the humanity of our biblical heroes. They discuss the freedom to ask questions, trust beyond the need for certainty, and discover a God who is already present with the people we hope to reach. Bob also shares how caring for six eleven-year-old boys is teaching him the long game of love—an affection that keeps showing up, even when it’s resisted. Find Bob’s podcast, The Epic Narrative, at thebobswitzer.comJOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field 76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8

Chris E.W. Green joins Jason for a rich conversation about the goodness of God, the beauty of our humanity, and the healing love revealed in Jesus. Together, they explore how bad theology can contradict what our hearts already know, why sin is better understood through the lens of sickness and healing than punishment and shame, and what it means to be made in the image of the One who heals the world. Chris also reflects on mystery, certainty, prayer, suffering, and the difference between optimism and genuine hope—a hope rooted not in where the world appears to be heading, but in the unchanging goodness of God.For more info on Chris:https://cewgreen.substack.com/JOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field-76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8

In this episode, Jason sits down with BEMA Podcast host and author Marty Solomon for a wide-ranging conversation about Scripture, deconstruction, the cross, and the inherent goodness of being human. Marty shares how reading the Bible through its historical and Jewish context revealed a God who has always looked like Jesus—and why deconstruction, done well, is not about destroying faith but preserving something beautiful. Together, they explore nonviolent atonement, covenant as relationship rather than transaction, the problem with total depravity, and the hopeful truth at the heart of Marty’s new book, The Gospel of Being Human: our humanity isn’t something God wants us to escape; it’s something Jesus came to restore.For more info on Marty Solomon: https://www.martysolomon.com/

Jason and Brooke Waters sit down with Gary Grant to explore the difference between contractual religion and covenantal love—and why transformation begins when we stop trying to earn a belonging that has always been ours. Gary shares his journey from childhood intimacy with God through decades of religious performance and back into the freedom of knowing a Father who never rejects, abandons, or turns away. Together, they discuss union, trust, authentic identity, safe community, escaping religious control, and what happens when faith becomes less about holding everything together and more about learning to live held.

In this hope-filled conversation, Jason talks with Steve and Wendy Backlund of Igniting Hope Ministries to explore how our beliefs shape our emotions, relationships, and experience of God. Together, they unpack why hopelessness is often a greater problem than the circumstances themselves, how Jesus reveals the Father's unwavering goodness, and what it means to stop striving for transformation and begin living from our union with God. From shedding false beliefs about ourselves to finding peace amid life’s storms, this conversation is an invitation to rethink what is true, rediscover the hope already within us, and become a living revelation of the good news.
