December 06, 2023 Three Mystical Powers
To a certain degree, we all crave a little more power—power over others, power over our situations, power over ourselves. We know that craving worldly power can be futile because once we have it, it can easily be stolen. Worldly power is about competition. Worldly power strengthens the “I, me, and my” and ultimately results in isolation and loneliness. Instead, we use these three mystical powers to connect deep within, where we experience union with the world. This passage came to me from Awakin, and it’s attributed to Fred LaMott.

December 03, 2023 Repent or metanoia?
The word “repent” really is a buzz-kill, isn’t it? Words like “repent” really turn people away from religion. Let’s face it, many people don’t like to hear that the way they’ve been living is “wrong.” But the word repent in the Bible is a mistranslation of the Greek word “metanoia.” It’s taking a step back and looking at your life differently. Metanoia is a challenge for us to see things from a new perspective. Metanoia questions the status quo in society, culture, and our lives. Don’t we all need a little metanoia?

November 26, 2023 Stillness is critical in today’s world
The world can easily sweep us away with its collective anger and anxiety. It feeds on our own anxiety and anger, gathering strength to destroy whatever peace and compassion that might exist. It’s up to us to take moments every day to sit in stillness to reconnect with virtues that serve God and his creation. This gives us the energy and mindset to effect positive change in the world.

November 22, 2023 Can Jesus’s words get lost in translation?
If we hold everything in the Bible close to our hearts, which translation do you use? Some translations of the Bible are rigid, and others use language that we don’t use today. Let’s face it, that turns people off. That’s why it’s important to understand that our faith and love are beyond words and language. The book I quote is from Neil Douglas-Klotz, “Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus.”

November 19, 2023 Can you find your authentic self?
A lot of self-help and self-care strategies emphasize finding yourself or finding your authentic self. While some methods are helpful in stripping away attitudes and behaviors that hurt us and others, others might be strengthening our persona, our ego, or our superficial self. We eventually learn that we must dissolve any concept of self, any ideas of I, me, and mine, to experience connection with the Divine.

November 15, 2023 Where are the Christian leaders?
In today’s political arena, it’s hard to find Christian leaders. Many will say they’re Christian with their lips yet their behavior says otherwise. Very few act with humility but many act with pride and vainglory. Yet these leaders should be subjected to a higher standard because they serve as role models in our society. If a U.S. Senator, Congressman, or presidential candidate uses vile or proud language and behavior to try to one-up other people, it’s time to serve them their walking papers. We need better role models who serve with humility and integrity.

November 08, 2023 We all have value in the eyes of God
Whether we’ve accomplished little or accomplished a lot in our lives, we’re all loved by God. To compare ourselves or herald others as “better” is just the ego talking. All that can easily be stripped away in an instant, but that doesn’t mean our souls lose value.

November 05, 2023 Bad examples of Christians
It’s not surprising that many people are leaving Christian churches when we see such bad examples of them in the media. Some Christians have extreme worldviews, and when they have positions of power such as the Speaker of the House, they become role models for the whole of Christianity. Yet these extremes aren’t the norm, and they turn people away from Christianity altogether. It’s important for all religious communities to have diverse views while remaining grounded in truth. Spewing only one perspective of the Bible—one of condemnation—turns off the many people who seek love and belonging.

November 01, 2023 What are you seeking?
Matthew Perry wanted to be known as a seeker. To a certain extent, we’re all seekers. We’re all seeking something, whether it’s more money, more adulation, or more pleasure. Spiritual seekers know that we’re all really searching for something transcendent. We’re searching for meaning beyond our daily triumphs and troubles. Yet in a sense, we are already found.
