Emergent founder Doug Pagitt is my guest at 4:00 pm ET TODAY. Stream it LIVE here.

Doug Pagitt is a self-described “social and theological entrepreneur,” the founder of Solomon’s Porch in Minneapolis, MN, a founder of Emergent Village, and owner of a wellness center and production company. His mission in life, according to his website, is “seeking to find creative, entrepreneurial, generative ways to join in the hopes, dreams and desires God has for the world.” He thinks twenty years is a long time, which isn’t surprising when you consider Pagitt has written whole books on why things that were written 2,000 years ago are “foolish” and “expired” in a contemporary context.

Doug is the author of A Christianity Worth Believing (Jossey-Bass 2008), Church Re-Imagined (Zondervan 2004), Preaching Re-Imagined (Zondervan 2005), and BodyPrayer (Waterbrook 2005). He is the co-editor of An Emergent Manifesto of Hope (Baker Books 2007). He has contributed to numerous books, including The Post-Evangelical (Zondervan 2003), Practioners (Regal 2006), and Listening To The Beliefs of the Emerging Church (Zondervan 2007).

Dr. John MacArthur says of Doug Pagitt:

“Pagitt is a Universalist…It’s most helpful to go back and kind of recast how we view these people. He’s not a pastor. He’s not a Christian. That’s not a church.”
