Welcome to Gut Theology

This is a blog mainly for those who wish to take intentional steps into the theological arena. All of us have a theology, we like to call it our "Gut" theology. What you think about God, the Church, what it means to be human, all comes from somewhere, but the question is where? Most of us haven't explored theology, nor have we been courageous enough to question our gut instincts and see how they compare to other people's gut instincts. Now, not all of our gut stuff is bad. Some of us have very nice guts, others' extend further than necessary. They all rumble when hungry, and can feel full when we try to take too much in. We are hoping that your hunger for God will be met, but you won't be overwhelmed by all the stuff we attempt to wrap our minds around.
Theologically, the gut has great importance. You may remember stories where people's hearts were hardened, like Pharaoh's of Egypt. The ancient Hebrews believed that the heart is where all sound decisions are to be made because the heart is midway between your gut and your brain. The heart was the place that your reason met your emotions and passion and fused the two into something powerful. So the hardening of the heart means that these two could never meet, rendering one cold and rational, or passionately irrational! Our hope is that a discussion of theology produces passionate ideas and thoughtful Christians who have the guts to live out what they truly believe.
Peace,
Pastor Adam
