We want to introduce you to those who forgot everything except Jesus Christ and him crucified. We all struggle with fear of being last, lost, least, littlest, and dead, and so we are here to encourage, challenge, provoke, and maybe even offend you by introducing you to theologians who at one time or another were banned by their church, declared dangerous, or simply vilified for daring to confess that Christ alone is the way, truth, and life. Welcome rebel children, holy mischief makers, and fools for Christ. This podcast is for you.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383"},"episode":{"title":"435: Andersen - Ritual as the Whole Way of Life","slug":"435-andersen-ritual-as-the-whole-way-of-life","published_at":"2026-04-02T21:47:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383/435-andersen-ritual-as-the-whole-way-of-life","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383","url":"https://www.1517.org/podcast-overview/435-andersen","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bannedbooks/BB_435.mp3?dest-id=697691","summary":"The Power of Ritual!
