Outlaw Preachers Precast: Tim Kurek and Matthew Paul Turner

This is the second of the Outlaw Preachers “precasts.”

As I begin a journey across the country to start the Los Angeles branch of Metamorphosis I am meeting with some very gracious outlaw preachers and sharing our conversations as a sort of sneak preview of the podcast. Only the “precast” conversations will be posted to the Metamorphosis podcast, so keep on eye on outlawpreaching.com as the podcast launch date approaches. Outlaw Preachers will be a roundtable discussion style podcast featuring an eclectic mix of outlaw preachers in conversation about theology, philosophy, ministry, and all things outlaw.

I caught up with outlaw writer Timothy Kurek in Nashville and had the pleasant “Godincidence” of also running into Matthew Paul Turner (also on Twitter), author of “Churched: One Kid’s Journey Toward God Despite a Holy Mess.” We talked about not tearing people down before building them up and insecurity salvation. Matthew wanted to be the Michael Jackson of Christian music and Barbie finds out how hot hell is.

We don’t think grace makes enemies.
