Coffee with Creamer

Coffee with Creamer

Coffee with Creamer, where you get to sit down with our host, Dr. Barry Creamer, for a conversation about faith, life, and culture. We’ll look at old ideas through a new lens, turn the culture wars on their head, and paint a picture of the way things could be. If you like your thinking deep, and your coffee hot, pull up a chair—you’re in the right place.

Next Year In Jerusalem | Episode 250

May 6, 2026 • 51 mins
Barry covers a psalm that teaches us there is a deliverer coming on our behalf, someone who brings both authority and rescue beyond what we can accomplish (or attempt to control) on our own. For those who do not live in a perfect world, we are invited to rest in the hope that deliverance and […]

I [Do Not] Object! | Episode 249

April 29, 2026 • 47 mins
Sometimes we Christians think that faith shows best when no doubts are visible; however, Barry argues that doubt’s contrast can make faith shine. He walks us through 4 barriers or objections to the faith and warns us of using circular arguments, making secondary issues essential, erecting fences to help God out with his job description, […]

From the Producer’s Desk: Finding and Losing our Way – Part 2 | Episode 248

April 22, 2026 • 51 mins
Barry finishes up the series on Finding and Losing Our Way—how you can walk out into the world and carry your learning home without it redesigning you. This time he focuses on experience (science and empiricism) and the gentle lull through its pragmatism which may impact our foundational truths rather than the other way ‘round. […]

From the Producer’s Desk: Finding and Losing our Way – Part 1 | Episode 247

April 15, 2026 • 47 mins
In our second of the new series, From the Producer’s Desk, Barry ponders what it means to step out into the world of ideas and disciplines that weren’t formed explicitly from Scripture—and still remain grounded. Depending on how we address that, we either open ourselves up to learning that deepens our understanding… or we quietly […]

Whose World Is It? | Episode 246

April 8, 2026 • 44 mins
In moments where things seem to be falling apart and our faith is challenged, we could learn a thing or two from the believers in Acts 4. Barry examines how their prayer uses beginning, ending, height, depth, birth, and death to demonstrate who is not in charge, and who is. Scripture: Acts 4

From the Producer’s Desk: Can’t Quit Religion | Episode 245

April 1, 2026 • 53 mins
We begin a new series, From the Producer’s Desk, and Barry discusses why religion persists. While the expectation seemed to be that as we became more “enlightened,” religion would slowly disappear, that clearly hasn’t happened. In fact, even when societies or groups reject formal belief, they don’t stop doing the things religion does. Where does […]

Man in the Mirror: Part 2 | Episode 244

March 25, 2026 • 49 mins
Barry closes this series about extremism covering a variety of current events/topics like ICE, trans rights, DEI, free speech, and censorship. While a discussion of that list may seem the worst idea ever, a focus on these concepts can help us survive it: community, plurality, humanity, and agency.     Scriptures: Prov 11:14, 15:22, 24:6 […]

Barry begins a new series that will help us ferret out various methods of lulling people into extremist beliefs and what often follows—extremist actions. If you are looking to hone your extremist influence, you’ll want to use dehumanizing speech and fearmongering. If not, you may want to use a mirror near you to start a […]

Take It Personally | Episode 242

March 12, 2026 • 49 mins
Barry walks us through Psalm 109, pointing out a message that applies to its author, the Messiah and you and me. We may not be as significant as the other things God is doing, but we are to him.     Scriptures: Ps 109, 69 Acts 1:15-20 Lk 22:47-53 Matt 26:51-53 Books: A Grief Observed, […]

Existential Love: Part 3 | Episode 241

March 4, 2026 • 49 mins
Barry finishes his commentary on Hannah, who was originally providing commentary on Augustine in our series on Existential Love. And why that particular name for the series you may ask? Because we have been given a purpose/meaning and it is one that we must choose: to Love as Christ loved us. It is this supernatural […]

Existential Love: Part 2 | Episode 240

February 25, 2026 • 43 mins
Barry begins part 2 of the Existential Love series describing in more detail the complexity of loving the world without simply being part of it. The example is economic in nature. Christian love may call for more than the social interdependency evident in work and service, with its benefits to self and others.     […]

Existential Love: Part 1 | Episode 239

February 18, 2026 • 49 mins
Barry begins a short series during the season of love. He turns to Hannah Arendt and St. Augustine to guide us through a confusing topic that has plagued the church throughout history: how to love the world yet not become attached to it.     Scripture: 2 Cor 4:16-18 Books: Love and St. Augustine, Hannah […]

Self-Reference Done Right | Episode 238

Ours to Reason Why | Episode 237

February 4, 2026 • 47 mins
Barry talks about the difference between reasoning and rationalization. One can get us to the actual truth, while the other simply gets us closer to our favored opinion. He gives us a few questions to help us ferret out which option we are using. Scripture: James 3:1

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 10 | Episode 236

January 28, 2026 • 48 mins
Barry finishes up his 10 maxims with one that provides hope for all the others. Perhaps nothing emphasizes better how desolate humanity’s fallen nature is than the impossible step God takes to redeem it.     Scriptures: Ps 53:1-3 Rom 3:9-19 Jude 8-13 Jas 5:19-20 Matt 7:6-7 1 Kings 19:12-18

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 9 | Episode 235

January 21, 2026 • 42 mins
Barry covers a “commandment” that may be the most juxtaposed to our culture. While we wouldn’t expect to be grateful for suffering (as that would necessitate a change to the word’s definition) we can be grateful for our endurance of it. Barry talks us through this maxim with material, spiritual, social, and aesthetic examples to […]

Barry altered the wording of this maxim from previous presentations because he realized it was too easy on himself! What used to be “brutal honesty” with others has changed to “brutal honesty” with self and this in fact, makes it easier for us to offer kindness to others. This altered mindset places us square on […]

Honoring this order for these particular questions is especially important in two situations: 1) when faced with decisions in our pragmatic culture, and 2) when suffering enters the picture.     Scriptures: Prov […]

Barry focuses in on Mary’s Magnificat along with the importance of her faith and obedience.
