Two pastors were getting together for food, beer, and conversation about churchy stuff and out of that came the podcast Twelve Enough. They wanted a place for critical thinking, progressive ideas, and grass roots Christianity to be discussed and considered. Since then the podcast has brought in a number of great guest hosts, considered a variety of topics, and has reached tens of people.

The blog, Theological Snob, started as a place for a certain doctoral student to reflect, muse, and rant about the copious amount of theological tomes that he had to read. It has now become a place for continued reflections on readings, rants about things churchy, cultural, or personal, and a place for the high quality theology that is kept in the ivory towers of the academy to be shared with the peoples. It is a blog that could lead to a revolution, but more likely will be a go-to place to cure insomnia.

Jonathan Malone is the primary force behind the podcast and the blog (but he is always looking for help). Jonathan earned his PhD in theology through the University of Dayton, did his seminary training at Andover Newton Theological School, and spent a lot of time learning musical things like counterpoint, theory, and how to make piss-poor bassoon reeds. He still plays the bassoon, but not on his own reeds. Jonathan is ordained the the American Baptist Churches, USA and has been a pastor of local churches for over 20 years. He enjoys hiking, playing ultimate (frisbee), and being with his family.
