Learning How to See with Brian McLaren

Seeing (and Loving) the Divine in The Everyday with Carrie Newcomer

Listen Later

How do ordinary moments become portals to the sacred? 

On this episode of Learning How to See, Carrie Newcomer joins Brian and Carmen for a  conversation-and-concert that explores “short-form empathy,” the contemplative power of music, and the everyday practice of seeing, and being seen, through eyes of love. Along the way Carrie performs two beloved songs,  sharing the stories that shaped them, and Carmen invites listeners into a simple chant that can travel with us on morning walks or difficult days.
