Do you know what spiritual seeing is? If so, what do you see?
In today’s podcast and post I will provide a biblical justification for spiritual sight and share how this isn’t some kind of super power, but instead is a humiliating source of suffering that we don’t want to live without.
Join me now as I do my best to describe something that defies words, and why those who share this spiritual sight, rarely talk about it.
“Do you feel like our world is heading in the right direction?
This is not merely a political question. It’s much bigger. In today’s podcast and post, I will continue in our series of Psalms Greatest Hits with a look at the 127th Psalm. All of human history has ideas about how our cities and countries should be governed.
Join me now as we compare the trajectory of this simple Psalm to the trajectory of the modern world and test if there is any part of us which is able to see beyond everything.
“Is Easter just another religious holiday? I believe there is a lot more to it.
In today’s podcast and post, we conclude our three-week Easter series with what some might call a radical view of Easter. It just might be that religious tradition has entombed Easter into a tiny little framework.
Join me now as I invite you to see beyond the holiday traditions and capture a glimpse of the REAL Easter, that is closer than we have ever considered.
“What’s the point of Palm Sunday? Churches refer to this event as the triumphal entry, but what was so triumphant, since the powers of religion and State were clearly going to crucify him?”
In today’s podcast and post we look closer at the prophesy of Zechariah and how Jesus willfully fulfilled it as he went straight into Jerusalem to “poke the bear”.
Join me now to explore how this display of power should have been the end of religion as we know it. Come and see how humility and sacrificial love are the most subversive powers the world has ever known.
“What would say are the most common ways that people struggle in life? Is it economically, emotionally, or socially?
In today’s podcast and post, we begin our countdown to Easter with an examination of two thieves which rob us of our ability to see reality clearly, and which causes so much suffering.
Join me now as the thieves on the cross reveal the world’s competing systems of avoidance and resentment, and help us to see a third option, hanging right in the midst of them.
“We all saw the Hegetsus ads during the Super Bowl…now five weeks later hardly anyone is talking about it. In your opinion, was it worth $100 Million?
In today’s podcast and post I will share my perspective on the Hegetsus ads and reflect upon what I think were its successes and failures. In a polarized world like ours, I applaud the appeal to unify all comers and invite a spiritual exploration.
Join me now as I share why it’s true that Hegetsus, but after two thousand years, we still don’t get him.
“Do difficult teens really exist? What is really behind teens who are rebellious, disrespectful, or willfully disobedient?”
In today’s podcast and post, we conclude our series on parenting teens with a look at difficult teens. I’ll offer some philosophical considerations which can lend themselves to very practical strategies for helping these challenging situations.
Join me now as we see beyond the difficult teen and discover the common threads which account for so much of the pain that exists in our households.
“How do teens become so overly focused on themselves? Why are so many of teens unmotivated?”
In today’s podcast and post we continue our series on Parenting Teens with a look at the Selfish Parent. If something in you is resisting this post because you fear it will simply be a blame game, then you definitely need to hear this.
Join me now as we deconstruct some ways that our own selfishness as parents is transmitted into the behaviors of our teens which frustrate us the most, thus reveals the path to fix many of the problems.
“Are teens just going to go out and have sex no matter what we tell them?”
In today’s podcast and post we continue our series on parenting teens, with a look at dating and sex. In a world that is so saturated with sexuality, most parents’ thing their job is to stave off as much content as they can, but that only contributes to the problem.
Join me now as I share how wisdom can train our teens to have a high view of sex and I offer an alternative strategy for dating, which will establish our teens on a path of finding and honoring true love and commitment.
“Why do teenagers eat so much junk food? Is it just the way it is? Or is there something more beyond it?
In today’s podcast and post we will consider the parent’s role in training our teens about life and health. I’ll reveal how following the common path of the world creates people who are given over to their appetites, with the result being a lifestyle of sickness and medical interventions.
Join me now as we examine the underlying philosophies and spiritual assumptions which show up on our dinner plates, and how to lead our teens to health, freedom, and the path to life.
