A podcast about the golden calf, the absence of God, the center which has no center, and the nutrients left in the compost heap of our spiritual ancestors.

The first in my Monday series on ancient texts, Biblical images, and the compost heap of the wisdom tradition.  This episode is a musing on Babel, power, greed, pride, Putin, borders, invasion and the Wind.  Enjoy!

Hopefully I'll step on everyone's toes, including my own.

Excited to chat with Brie Stoner.  We chat about courage, art, motherhood, divorce, unknowing, mentors and geography.  Enjoy! 

This episode is about the mysterious relationship between our wounds and our gifts.  Perfect for the holiday season.  Enjoy!

What stories are we carrying about human purpose, or destiny, or about the how any of us are actually here, right now, in this life, in this era?  Are we mere accidents, among countless accidents? What needs to be remembered for us to really flourish, or find some sense of deeper meaning? Just a few questions I'm wrestling with on this podcast.  Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy our unscripted conversation about surprises, form and creativity, what is currently speaking to us, and finding a life-giving pace in the madness and anxiety of our age.  

In this wide-ranging chat we talk about Tony's story, being canceled, the Emergent Church, epistemic humility, not losing faith, finding wild places, hunting, contact with death, Israel, and whether or not the Jesus story still has power.  I hope you hear a few hints and guesses for your own unfolding.  Enjoy!

Abraham Heschel, unflinching awe, Yellowstone at night, sublime grandeur, and what happens when the only value system we have is the market.  Enjoy!   

More in my series, Stuff That Helps! This time, Iron John by Robert Bly.  In this episode we explore the opening of the myth Iron John and what it has to teach us about growing up.  It's very challenging right now to talk about the masculine, much more what I call the Sacred Masculine.  I hope you hear something that helps.  Enjoy!
