I thought it would be a good idea to have a page to send new listeners to Seminary Dropout.
We’re rapidly approaching 100 episodes which might seem daunting to someone just now finding the podcast. This list can be a good starting point after the current episode.
I find that many people discover Seminary Dropout because I interview someone they’re really into, and after hearing that episode they check out the back catalogue. If you’ve listened to all the interviews of people you know, then this list is a good place to start. After that, just keep up from week to week. The next thing you know, you’ll be a Seminary Dropout-ologist.
I’ll update this list when I need to so hopefully it will always be accurate.

same as pursuing diversity, and that 
Today on the show my guest is author, speaker, and writer Frank Viola. Frank has written books about the church such as

, and his latest 
. Frank has ruffled some feathers in his day by suggesting that maybe the church as we know it today doesn’t look very much like what the New Testament Church was. Whether you agree with him or not, Frank’s ideas and teachings demand a thoughtful examination and cannot be easily cast aside.
Jesus Now is Frank’s newest book. In it he examines what exactly Jesus has been doing in the lives of ordinary people like you and me since his time on earth.

In November 2010 Pastor Eddie Byun was given a copy of David Batstone’s Not for Sale. Eddie devoured the book and quickly became shocked and outraged about the injustice that was human trafficking. Since then Eddie and his church, Onnuri English Ministry have been working in various ways to combat human trafficking both in their homeland of South Korea and around the world.
