This episode includes the full interview with Aaron Simmons from this past March. If you want the full live podcast experience you'll have to come in person next year! Big thanks to the Center for Process Studies for sponsoring (and providing the beer).

Tripp and co-host Tony Jones talked with Aaron about what exactly phenomenology is, what it's like being a phenomenological philosopher and Pentecostal, why phenomenology is different than the philosophical framework that came before it, Heidegger on subjectivity and self-hood, plus, Aaron gives a live phenomenological reduction demonstration.

Throughout, Tripp explains how to teach phenomenology to teenagers in confirmation classes and why every youth minister should be a phenomenologist.
