It was a joy and a privilege to talk with Cameron Trimble! Cameron is a serial entrepreneur committed to the triple bottom line – a concern for people, progress and the planet. Driven by an adventurous spirit, she runs businesses and NGO organizations, both secular and faith-based. She serves as a consultant, a frequent speaker on national speaking circuits, is a pilot, and an author.

In this episode we come together to talk about "The Great Unveiling" that these past few years of Covid has caused, an unveiling of what wasn't working for most people anyways. Her personal website can be found at https://camerontrimble.com.

As a result of recent news, I was experiencing some heavy anger... and I don't think it was unjustified. The things I saw and the things that I read about actively led me to become angry over the injustices of the world... and I believe that we perhaps need to come to a better understanding of anger. So buckle up, in this one we are going to talk about healthy and holy anger. My hope is that it helps you to express your anger in a healthy and holy way and let it evolve into holy action that the world so desperately needs from you.

This one is a straight up shout out and encouragement for all the thru-hikers on the AT this year. I met a good number of you at Trail Days in Damascus, VA last week, and I hope we stay in touch. Please share this with any other thru-hikers that listen to podcasts. Just trying to pay forward the good times. Remember, "Last one to Katahdin wins!"

This week I thought it would be great to share with you two lengthier quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh's Living Buddha, Living Christ. TNH was good friends with the Catholic monk, Thomas Merton, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by his friend, MLK Jr. I believe that it is helpful to be inspired by what is good, beautiful, true and loving in someone else's tradition as well as to listen to what people of another faith say about how Christianity is done in the world.

I want to share with you a personal story of mine from 10 years ago, what it taught me, and then shift to talking about Luke 13, Ram Dass, and doing your own self-work.

Brian McLaren (http://brianmclaren.net) is the author of an upcoming book entitled, "Do I Stay Christian?" The book is broken up into three parts: No, Yes and How. It gives an honest look at the reasons why someone might want to leave Christianity, reasons why someone might want to stay, and some perspectives on how someone might choose to stay. So here is an interview about "Do I Stay Christian?" Enjoy!

This past week I happened to come across a particular quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer that I first highlighted years ago. Bonhoeffer is a fantastic Christian ethicist, pastor, and figure of Church history. So here is an episode devoted to what he had to say about living in an already reconciled world.
