February 14, 2018 How to Discern Healthy and Unhealthy Forms of Spirituality
Send us Fan Mail
In this week’s show our topic is healthy and unhealthy forms of spirituality. In my most personal episode so far I share my experiences as a Chaplain or pastoral care provider. In my work in hospitals and hospices I often come across healthy and unhealthy forms of spirituality. One factor that is often discussed in Pastoral Care Education is hopefulness as a measuring rod for someone’s spiritual and emotional health. The way we manage our emotional responses has a lot to do with our spiritual balance and health.During this show we explore the communal origin of religion which comes from the act of binding together, collecting and solidifying and internalizing a deep inner essence of who we are in relation to tradition and others. Part of spiritual growth is to know which beliefs are unassailable or embedded and which are assailable or we are able to reflect on them. Religion is often described as an organized set of beliefs and reflecting about them is what separates the religious/devout from cult-members and fanatics.J. Miller defines Religion as the common factors that frame our behavior, which are part of a collective worldview which are shared with a group of people. According to the book Spirituality and End of Life Care: Spirituality concerns itself with the transcendental, existential and experiential. Which are the aspects of our humanity that bring about meaning in our lives.

January 31, 2018 Star Wars’ The Last Jedi Review
Send us Fan Mail
We start the second half of our third season discussing the redeeming aspects and issues of the latest installment in the StarWars saga. We look back at the hero journey of Anakin and Luke Skywalker and how this movie turns the beloved younger Skywalker Jedi into a hermit, who turns out to be even less likable than the anti-hero who becomes Darth Vader in the prequels. Joe Balog and I explore the New Age elements of this version of StarWars which seems to undermine the original Zen mysticism of the previous films. The rigorous training of Jedi order is also dismissed and new “force” powers are introduced in this movie which anyone can tap into with no effort. We ask ourselves what is the new director's intention in destroying the StarWars mythology? Was his goal to make the story more contemporary?How are fans supposed to stay interested if this movie departs from the morality play and becomes absurd?, etc. We try to answer these and more questions on this week show…

Send us Fan Mail
In this week's show our guest is Rabbi Samantha Safran who holds a Master of Arts in Hebrew Letters as well as a rabbinical title from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC) in Philadelphia. We discuss the concept of Messiah or Meshiach in Jewish thought and explore the expectation of the Israelites after the destruction of the second Jerusalem temple. Rabbi Safran explains how the concept of Messiah developed over the time. We also explore biblical books such as Daniel and the Davidic dynasty and its impact on messianic expectations. Throughout Jewish history, there have been different figures who have claimed this title including Bar Kochba and Shabbetai Zevi. We also reviewed the ideas behind the book: There is no Messiah…and you’are it: The Stunning Transformation of Judaism's Most Provocative Idea by Rabbi Robert N. Levin. We conclude the interview by looking at contemporary perspectives of this concept including how Zionism and Secularism have influenced modern Judaism.
