Starting with Questions: A Conversation with Damian Geddry | EP 11
From the Open and Relational Theology Conference (ORTCON), Jonathan Foster talks with Damian Geddry about creativity, new beginnings, and what his journey through recovery, marketing, and ministry has taught him about listening for spiritual longing. Through conversations with people who are deconstructed, dechurched, or seeking meaning outside traditional religious spaces, Damian has explored the questions that reveal our deepest hopes, fears, and desires. Together they reflect on curiosity, transformation, and how paying attention to people's lived experiences can open new possibilities for faith and community.
About The Curian Network
About The Curian Network
- The Curian Network (formerly opentable.network) is a denominational space credentialing and resourcing pastors, chaplains, spiritual directors, and counselors in this wild day and age we live in, which is as extremely irreligious as it is hyper-religious.
- We believe that what works out on the extreme edges and all the spaces in between is love. Not love that simply makes space for people within the terms set by existing structures, but love that allows difference to enhance the entirety of who we are.
- Top-down religion is no longer viable in a world shaped by algorithms, micro-communities, and interconnected networks. What’s needed is something relational and rhizomatic—a way of being that sends out roots in all directions, grows horizontally, and has no fixed beginning or end.
- The Curian Network connects faith leaders and communities without demanding conformity to specific creed or covenant. We are networked rather than hierarchical, woven together by relationship across digital and physical space—an ecosystem emphasizing the one thing that matters: faith expressing itself through love (Gal 5:6).
- We are a 501(c)(3) organization and a recognized endorser with The Board of Chaplaincy Certification and The Association of Professional Chaplains.
