Episode 359: Scott Gelfand - Ethics, Morality, and a New Way Forward in Divisive Times

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 19:41:04 -0500

What happens to morality when the old rules no longer work?

For many of us raised in Evangelical or fundamentalist Christianity, ethics once felt clear: follow God’s commands, trust the Bible, and do the right thing. But when that framework begins to fall apart, moral decision-making can suddenly feel confusing ... even frightening.

In this episode of the What If Project, I’m joined by Dr. Scott Gelfand, author of Thinking Ethically: A Handbook for Making Moral Choices, to explore what it means to think ethically after certainty and obedience.

We talk about why moral choices so often live in gray areas, how ethical frameworks can help, how we (as a whole) are much more similar than we are different, and how the Political System we have built thrives when we are divided.

This conversation is especially for those navigating deconstruction or life after faith — and who are trying to rebuild a moral framework rooted in humility, compassion, and responsibility.

What if ethics isn’t about the certainty of one side being right and the other being wrong, but about learning how to live well together in the gray?

Episode 357: NT Wright - God’s Homecoming and the Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 20:00:00 -0500

This week NT Wright joins me to explore the vision behind his new book, God’s Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal.

Many of us were raised with an end-times story that was focused on escape—going to heaven when we die, the rapture, and the destruction of the world.

BUT.

What if that was never the Christian hope?

In this conversation, NT Wright challenges fear-based eschatology and invites us into a different future: not leaving creation behind, but God renewing it. We talk about heaven, resurrection, new creation, and what the Bible actually says about the end times.

We also explore how this vision of hope speaks to real-world issues like political polarization, anxiety around "end times", and healing from evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity.

Are you deconstructing, rethinking faith, or searching for a way to imagine God without fear? This episode is for you!

In this episode, we discuss:

Why “going to heaven when you die” became the dominant story
What the Bible says about resurrection and new creation
How fear-based end-times theology shaped evangelical Christianity
What God’s “homecoming” means for how we live now

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 20:00:00 -0500

Friends. This week we are talking to Mory Fontanez about her book, "Higher Self: Reclaiming the Power of Your Intuition" and, let me tell you - this book is scratching me right where I itch.

I was raised in a world where I was told to DISTRUST the voice inside. Heck, I was even told it was a DEMON that needed to be CAST OUT and sent to the pits of hell.

You too?

Just me?

Anyways - Mory helps those of us who have been disconnected from that voice to reconnect with it so that we can hear and live from the deep wisdom it has to share.

We cover a lot of ground in this one - buckle up and ENJOY.

Episode 350: Judika Illes - Talking About Witchcraft, Christianity, Jesus, And More With A Practicing Witch

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 20:00:00 -0400

(**NOTE: I had some audio issues with the episode and so had to cut out a few seconds here and there which is why edits might be more noticeable this week).

If you grew up like me, in a conservative / fundamentalist / Evangelical world ... something in you likely cringed a bit when you saw the word "witchcraft" and "witch" in the title. It's OK to admit it - even the most "deconstructed" of us still twitch a bit when we hear these words.

But.

Friends - Judika is a real life Witch. Like, a practitioner of Witchcraft. She cast spells, has spell books for sale at Barnes and Noble. She's a well known voice in the world of Witchcraft and today she sits down with me to answer my questions and help me have a more mature, realistic, and less judgmental view of Witchcraft and Witches than the one I was given growing up in church, Bible College, etc. I learned A LOT from her.

And so, I wonder- can you put your baggage around these terms aside and hear what she has to say? She's one of the most gentlest souls I've ever had on the show.

Enjoy!

Episode 349: Julia O'Brien - What If The Prophets Of Israel Weren't Primarily Interested In Issues Of Social Justice?

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 08:02:24 -0400

I recorded this episode back in January and am releasing it now - many, many months later. Why? It challenged me so much that before I let others in on it, I had to let the words and ideas and thoughts really permeate into my own being.

I recorded many conversations in 2025, but this is one of my top 2 or 3 favorites. Julia is Professor Emerita of Biblical Studies at Lancaster Theological Seminary and Moravian University and her specialty is in the prophets of the Old Testament. In this episode we talk about her book, “Prophets Beyond Activism” and touch on things like “Progressive Orthodoxy”, our obsessive “need to be right”, and how we often (on the Left and the Right!) force the Bible to fit into boxes that will strengthen our cases, back our values, and help us win arguments.

But.

Maybe?

What if … what if those stories and verses and books and characters that we fall back on to support our causes … what if their voices don’t have as much to say to our contemporary issues as we hope/want them to?

Enjoy!

In this episode of the What If Project, we down with theologian and author Dillon Naber Cruz to explore some ideas behind his amazing book, "Theological Musings." As the conversation unfolds, y’all are invited to deep dive into the intersection of theology, philosophy, and the human experience.

Episode 248: Leo WT And The Moment That Changed Their Life Forever (Leo WT Takes Over The Show, Part 1)

Sun, 28 May 2023 20:00:00 -0400

Hello friends. This is part 1 of a 3 part (bi-weekly) series where my friend Leo from the Conversations Official podcast takes over the show for Pride 2023. Leo is part of the LGBTQ community and passionate about Queer Theology, Interfaith work, and so much more. They'll introduce themselves in this episode and set up what to expect over the next couple.

Leo approached me back in April after my dad passed away and offered to do a few solo episodes for us regarding some things they're passionate about so as to help me out during this season of grief. I love the work that Leo is doing and have a ton of respect for them, their work, and the obstacles they've overcome ... and so I immediately said, "YES!".

Buckle up, and enjoy! Episodes will continue to drop bi-weekly after this series starting with a convo with Bart Ehrman that I'll drop on July 10.

THE PODCAST WILL BE TAKING A BREAK FOR MARCH AND POSSIBLY APRIL, HERE'S WHY:

I met my mom and dad at the hospital at 2am on Sunday morning and the day brought about events that have left my heart in pieces. Below is a blog post with some reflections on my dad, his life, and how he showed me my value and place in the world. I hope you’ll take the time to read it … I wrote it through tears and shaky fingers, but I want the whole world to know what he meant to me.

I love you, dad. In your honor the podcast is going silent for the month of March. Thanks for loving my mom, me, Dana, and Jordan so well. Team Siepert, always.

Episode 171: In Memory of Steve Austin (Instant Replay, Part 6)

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 20:30:00 -0400

In this episode we look back on a conversation with my friend, the late Steve Austin. Steve committed suicide in the Summer of 2021 and left a gaping hole in the world. In this conversation you'll get a taste of the ray of hope he was to so many as he fought hard to destroy the stigma around mental health that the church has created.

The intro to the episode is from one of the What If Project Patreon supporters, Mike Koolen. Mike actually introduced me to Steve a while back and so his voice in this episode is a perfect fit.
