When Pete Enns and Jared Byas launched their podcast "The Bible for Normal People" a few months ago, they didn't think it would be ousting Joel Olsteen (and everyone else) for the #1 spot in Religion and Spirituality category on iTunes.

Armed with their expertise, their all-star guest list and their guiding vision summed up in their tongue-in-cheek (maybe) tag line "The Only God-Ordained Podcast on the Internet;

Serious Talk About the Sacred Book" they have cooked up a broadcast that all sorts of people can sink their teeth into.

Today, I invite Pete back on the show to talk about this new adventure: its vision and some of the ways "normal people" (by which he means non scholars) get gain a much richer and robust understanding of the bible through conversations and a deeper look at issues. Issues like context, translation, history, culture, and hearing from the people they plan to invite on their program.

This is a fun listen too, if you know Pete, you'll know he's a joker which tempers all the (potentially) dry doctoral esoterica.

For those longing to connect on more than a casual level, the ancient way of belonging embodied in the Celtic concept of "anam cara" (translated literally as "soul friend") captures a distinct identity and awareness of relationship that can't be found under regular circumstances. It takes intention, cultivation, time, specific ways of noticing the other and interacting.

Today's episode includes wonderful sections from John O'Donohue book Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom, insights from the wise Maria Popova, and my own reflections on connecting and conversing in richer ways, as well as what can stop us from finding the right match when we long for a soul friend.

Do check out the bonus material for this episode with vital links and resources - including a place to tell your story and offer insights and feedback or ask questions, if you feel like it. You might even find someone else looking for a soul friend too. Use this link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/11463301

Plenty of people have criticized Capitalism over the years for various economic or social reasons, but few people have done so with the internal costs in mind. At the heart of a free market system such as Capitalism is something very powerful: the promise to fulfill our desire. My guest today brings to light the ways that capitalism actually does exactly the opposite. And, by creating desire, capitalism flourishes and dominates globally and we are worse for it.

This fascinating conversation is aimed at understanding the hidden influences that direct our lives. We aren't pretending that we can quickly jump into another alternative but we need to be reckoning with the costs of materialism and our co-opting with a system that takes advantage of our innate desires. How else can these desires be directed in more helpful ways? What fantasies have we played into unawares?
