Rev. Phil Snider, LGBT Rights & Going Viral [CultureCast 11]




Tripp Fuller show

Summary:  Over the weekend, our friend Phil Snider had the unexpected pleasure of going viral. Not him personally, really, but a video he appeared in this past August snatched more than 2.5 million views after Gawker picked it up. Phil is a Disciples of Christ pastor in Springfield, MO, and he was speaking on behalf of LGBT rights at a local city council meeting. What he said and how he said it were nothing short of remarkable. Christian Piatt and Jordan Green were fortunate to get a chance to sit down and chat with him…especially since it was before all the big major media folks got a chance to! We also talked over some theology in the context of the Lance Armstrong scandal, and how he relates in some ways to Mars Hill Pastor Mark Driscoll. We toss out some TV recommendations and cap it all off with some Church Sign Epic Fails. * SUPPORT the podcast by just getting anything on AMAZON through THIS LINK or you can get some Homespun Craftianity.
