Who's Out There? The Next Mutation - Episode 8 "Cryptic Cataclysm"
Loading player...
Welcome to Who’s Out There? — a Chris Jordan Media production.
Season 3: The Next Mutation.
This is the place where ancient faith collides with modern consciousness… where long-held paradigms bend, shift, and sometimes break entirely.
In this season, we sit down with scholars, thinkers, and boundary-walking believers who are reshaping what the Christian God Agenda looks like in a world that refuses to stand still. These are voices who’ve crossed paradigms—sometimes by choice, sometimes by crisis—and emerged with new ways of understanding God, spirit, self, and purpose.
Here, faith is no longer something inherited… It’s something forged.
It’s personal.
It’s introspective.
It’s lived.
So if you’re ready to explore a world where your wellbeing, your growth, your goodness, and your own becoming form the core of your spirituality—then you’re in the right place.
Because the future of faith isn’t out there somewhere…
It’s already inside you.
This is The Next Mutation.
My guest is theologian, researcher, and wellness thinker Prof. Gerhard Bothma - a man who has spent decades inside the structures of organised religion…
and now stands at the threshold, questioning those same structures with honesty, integrity, and courage.
He’s written on hope and depression, on preaching, on the liturgical year, and on Revelation.
He has journeyed through faith, out of faith, and into a space he describes not as rejection —
But as reconstruction.
In a world obsessed with certainty, Prof. Bothma brings something rare:
the freedom to explore doubt.
In this episode, I ask the question, "Could the Bible possibly be predominantly purely symbolic?"
