Learning How to See with Brian McLaren

Christianity as a Set of Insistent Questions


Listen Later

What if questions are God’s way of communicating? Could we learn to embrace asking questions as a spiritual practice?

For this episode, Brian McLaren invites two great wisdom teachers of our time, Dr. James Finley and Dr. Barbara Holmes into a conversation about the simple steps we can take to celebrate the sacredness of each moment. This conversation journeys into the heart of embracing mystery and all that is unsolved in your heart.
