Make love not war, give peace a chance, can't we all just get along?

We've all heard these terms but can human beings really make peace? My one on one guest Jim Henderson explores this and the practices it takes for humans to stay in the room with difference. Jim points out the fact that when people like each other the rules change. And If he Rabbi an Imam and a Christian preacher can become friends for life... Then maybe, just maybe there's hope for the rest of us.

Art, cultural peace and all that gives life. Transformative faith is punk! PunkTheology.com

Steve brings up a good question about the Ego. Had me reflecting on this question? Is your ego your friend? Or as I once heard in a recovery group "Russ your Ego is not your Amigo!" then later "Don't you know the spirit and the flesh are at war inside you!?". An honest conversation about what that all is spouse to mean?

Art, cultural peace and all that gives life. Isn't Transformational faith punk!? Doesn't having faith mean you want something and you're willing to step out into the unknown to get it? So, wait, is it true that we don't achieve a relationship at a certain level?

Like, Relationships are not goals?

Is duelist thinking something that exists at a certain level of consciousness?

Is it true that faith exists in the realm of action? And fear exist in the same world only with the reasons for despondency or in-action?

Do you remember a time when you took action based on faith and it affected your life?

We start out by examining an accusation. Are people like us sad and/or angry? Is it the whole deconstruct reconstruct phenomenon a way of grabbing just another set of crutches? And religion has been popularly described as a crutch. But aren't there are all kinds of crutches out there? Addictions, compulsive behaviors, sports film, the arts or the things we like to do? Couldn't they all be described as crutches as well? Or crutches always bad? Today John, Aurthur, Steve, Chuck, Derek and I, Russ hobble from episode 3 with the blue wheelchair thing hanging from the rear view mirrior in to the topic of crutches.

Episode four season one. Chris Cornell depression, suicide and the question is raised can healthier relationships interrupt ones dark passenger? What does HOPE feel like?

An Episode on Dealing With Ones Own S__t! Punk rock I believe was birthed out of questioning the mystery. The brokenness, joy, pleasure and pain of this life pouring out into this colorful avant-garde there's no "right" way music... Is it the same when dealing with one life altering problems?!

So Punk Theology is an examination of what we really believe. Going beyond what we think we believe about life into the realm of what were actually doing and how our believes are unfolding in action.
