The Rise of BonhoefferAuthor: Tripp Fuller
Are you ready to embark on an inspiring and informative journey alongside Dietrich Bonhoeffer - one of the most courageous people in modern history? In this audio documentary series, we'll dive deep into the life of the German theologian who dared to stand against the Nazi regime. From his early days as a passionate scholar to his evolution into a bold leader of the Confessing Church, we'll trace Bonhoeffer's path as he wrestled with the moral and ethical challenges of his time. You'll discover how his theological insights, such as the concept of costly grace, shaped his resistance to Hitler and inspired a generation of believers to act with courage and conviction. Throughout the series, our hosts, Dr. Jeffrey Pugh and Dr. Tripp Fuller, will be joined by a host of renowned academic scholars of Bonhoeffer. Our goal is to bring the complexity and hard-won nuance of the ivory tower in a compelling and engaging to the listener, so the powerful story of Bonhoeffer can be engaged anew.

Bonhoeffer’s Witness Against Christian Nationalism
Monday, 8 December, 2025
What is up, Theology Nerds! This one's a banger. At Theology Beer Camp 2025, I got to sit down with an EPIC braintrust of Bonhoeffer scholars—Jeff Pugh, Lori Brandt Hale, Reggie Williams, and Andy Root—for a panel that went deep into Dietrich's life, his communities, and why his witness matters more now than ever. We wrestled with how Bonhoeffer's critique of stupidity as a sociological force, his understanding of Christ as the center that opens us to the other, and his call to prayer and righteous action speak directly into our current moment of rising nationalism and the masquerade of evil. These scholars didn't flinch from the hard questions: What do we do when the church has failed? How do we resist without contempt? And what does a faithful community look like when you might be hiding people in your house? If this conversation lights a fire in your theological belly, then you need to be with us at Theology Beer Camp 2026—October 8-10th in Kansas City. Head over here and grab those pre-sale tickets. This is what we do: beer, community, and theology that matters. Come join us.
