23: Tom Rundel: Don't Spiritualize Your Problems
S2 E19: Tom Rundel: Don’t spiritualize your problems, claim your confidence
Have you ever felt like God abandoned you and left you in the midst of a storm that you could not overcome? In this episode, I solo riff on Matthew 14’s account of Christ walking on the water and calming the storm. I take note of the parabolic writing style and use that knowledge to explore the meaning behind some of the imagery in this parable. Christ dismisses the disciples and they are battered by some wind and waves.
