More Than A Label

More Than A Label by Ryan Miller We often ask one another, "Who are you?" with a big “WHAT?” in mind referencing our religion, political affiliation, sports team loyalties, geographic location, etc. Are you liberal or conservative? Theistic or Atheistic? Protestant or Catholic? Black or White? Egalitarian or Complimentarian? Straight or LGBTQ+? Republican or Democrat? Capitalist or Socialist? East Coast or West Coast? Spurs or Lakers fan? (This one has truly taught me to transcend and include!) Labels are words we use to define our tribal affiliations. We use them to categorize, and we use th ..read more

The Shadow Sign
Brew Theology

WHO ARE YOU?  WHY ARE YOU HERE? These are the deep, soul questions we crave, and yet are scared to death of in the very same breath. Let’s enter a familiar social space, grab a drink, mingle, and right away after shaking a few hands, some new person asks you, “So, what do you do?” It’s a normal practice, but it’s ultimately the question about measuring up. It’s the masking question as we all have personas, the ones doing the asking, and the ones answering the question.  It’s our attempt at “thin slicing,” so we can immediately make a snap judgment on whether this person is worth our ..read more

Support and Solidarity During a Pandemic
Brew Theology

These are difficult, but not unprecedented, times we’re living in. The centering of violence against black people is something we’ve faced before. All of us have witnessed moments of this unveiling whether through Rodney King, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, or George Floyd to name a few.  As this week has progressed I have heard people ask, what can I do? What should I do? What will be helpful? So, I reached out to a couple of friends who do the work of regularly standing in solidarity with others and asked for their advice. Thank you to Andy and Piper for doing this ..read more

Stay For The Community!
Brew Theology

Come for the brew and theology; stay for the community! This is my new saying because it’s the truth. I love a good brew, and if there’s a quality theological conversation while sipping on said brew, life is golden! Still, I can have an excellent IPA and nerd out on some robust theology, but if there’s no genuine community in the midst, I’m out after a couple of beers! In nearly 5 years of doing and building this ever-evolving pub gig in the city of Denver and seeing it expand across the country, I’ve come to some pretty simple realizations. First, people love to gather. Period. Second, co ..read more
