Spark My Muse

Krista Tippett's work, through her program ON BEING, was the biggest inspiration for me starting my own podcast, and today it is a great pleasure to have her as a guest on Spark My Muse. Krista is a Peabody Award-winning broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author. Her radio show and podcast distributed to more than 400 stations across the country, a program which often ranks among the top 50 podcasts on iTunes. Today we cover a fascinating array of topics such such fear, empathy, suffering, creating better common lives together, spiritual influences on our children, her own prayer and spiritual practices, her plans for public life, and other topics related to her book masterful Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living, published in April, 2016.

Thank you for listening.

Spark My Muse comes out twice a week. Each Wednesday is a short episode called Soul School for your inner world and each Friday is a conversation with a guest. You can help my efforts continue by supporting the show at patreon.com/sparkmymuse or by using the Paypal link in the show notes or in the TWITTER profile @lisadelay

Part 3 of reading, explanation, and reflection on the ONLY text of the Ancient Near-East that responds to the question, "What is the meaning of life?"

This short series unpacks ancient wisdom text in a new way and includes a reading of Ecclesiastes translated by the late biblical scholar, archeologist, and language translator Dr David A. Dorsey. What you hear might surprise you regarding the context and pragmatic nature of this work, but above all you will get a sense for the importance of living the life we have right now.

Ongoing unanswered prayers or chronic suffering can turn into a stigma when prayers aren't answered or situations don't have points of resolutions. The result is that is deep feeling of disconnection and faith communities are left wondering how to respond. When healing doesn't, can't or won't come, when problems, disability, or illnesses are long term, complicated, the people who suffer can fall through the cracks and the cracks can be sizable. Today's episode is Rhiannon Hall's and our conversation touches on the issue that will face all of us at some point (or may be facing you now). As a person suffering or as one who want to help, we are left asking, "When prayers aren't answered, then what?"

This episode includes the debut of original music and lyrics by Rhiannon that will play in full at the end of the episode. Detailed show notes (at SparkMyMuse.com have a link to the song as well as links to the places you can find her writing and other endeavors and people and other things mentioned in the show.
