Barefoot to Emmaus

Synopsis of our second half of Holy Week highlights.

Picking up where we left off last episode, Char and Byron explore the events of Holy Week beginning with Jesus's clandestine trial before the Sanhedrin and ending with the mysterious empty tomb and whispers of resurrection.

This is the summary of Episode 87 covering insights about Holy week from Palm Sunday to the arrest of Jesus on the night of Maundy Thursday

Byron and Char dive into going over or thoughts, insights, and fun facts around the first half of Holy week from the Triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, to the cleansing of the temple on Holy Monday, the offering of the widow's mite on Holy Tuesday, the complexity behind Judas' betrayal on Holy Wednesday, and finally the upper room communion and foot washing of Maundy Thursday culminating in the arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives.

The paradox of the Trinity is as complicated as it is beautiful and important to Christian theology. In this episode, Byron and Char explore the theology of the Trinity, including heresies, the reflections of wise patristics, and Byron and Char's own reflections on this mystery. Definitely a deep and compelling episode worthy engaging.

The summary episode on Israel Palestine.

In the midst of the current escalation of the conflict in the Israel/Palestine area, Byron and Char attempt to humbly offer some reflections on the long and complex history of the region as well as some theological comments at this sensitive moment.

Synopsis episodlet on the paradox of self-awareness.

In this more personal, therapeutic conversation, Char processes what they call "the paradox of self-awareness" - the investment in self-understanding leads to a perceived inability to be seen by others (or even yourself). We hope this conversation offers you something to mull on in your own journey of self-knowledge and vulnerability.
