Mason shares a quote from one of the Christian Orthodox Desert Fathers, Saint Theognostos:

"Do not try to embark on the higher forms of contemplation before you have achieved complete dispassion, and do not pursue what lies as yet beyond your reach. Do not pursue theology beyond the limits of your present state of development."

On the back of the previous episode, "50 Shades of Pray", we address a listener question.

Erin asks if we think God is a male entity.  

Listen as we attempt to convey our thoughts on the subject, likely bordering on what most consider to be 'sacrilege'.

And then somehow, we end up right back in the middle of 'sexualized christianity'.

Our producer, Duke, came up with this awesome, and fitting, episode title. No, this is not satire.

WTF??  Who knew there was such a thing as the sexualization of God by evangelicals?!?!?

Don't take our word for it - listen to these cringe-worthy excerpts taken from actual pentecostal sermons. Doubtful this was only an 18+ live church audience.

Erin asks Mason: “Since one of your past lives was female, does that change your views on gender?”

Listen to Nate and Mason's take on this often hot-button topic for many.

While we were sitting in session and reading listener questions, we segued off into a topic near and dear to our hearts - the fact that our steps are ordered. The path is the path, whether it brings pain or pleasure. And we can't be so attached to a specific outcome, that we melt down or suffer when it doesn't happen the way we thought it should.

We discuss several listener questions:

1. Many, if not most, cultures have a messianic figure. 
   • Does this change the sovereignty of Jesus Christ? 
   • And if so, how do modern Christians, overlook this historical fact?
   • Where does blind faith come in?

What you say paired with your intent has the power to bless or curse. Call it prayer, meditation, an incantation, a curse, a spell, a mantra, an affirmation - words with motive have power.

The National Association of REALTOR®s has a code of ethics which states up front, "Under All is the Land."

Land (earth) is the very foundation of mankind.

We've lost our physical and emotional ties to the land due to one reason or another. And in the process, our physical bodies have suffered due to disconnect with the actual dirt beneath our feet. We dishonor those who went before us, whose blood, sweat, and tears is in the land.

Cody Johnson has a song called "Dirt Cheap" where big city developers try to buy an old man's acreage, which isn't for sale at any price because of his love for the land and what it represents.

We talk politics: Are most Boomers consumers? Is there greed in DC? Have our elected officials lost touch with the everyday citizen? Taxpayers pay, and the elite pad their pockets.

We talk religion: modern day religions often mirror government and institute similar controls.

We think heathenry may be the answer :)
