In this episode of the Free Radical Podcast, we dive into a rich and thought-provoking conversation with Christian theologian, philosopher, and author Thomas J. Ord. Known for his groundbreaking work in open and relational theology, Ord brings insight into topics such as divine omnipotence, the problem of suffering and evil, and the evolving nature of God. Together, we explore how love, freedom, and uncertainty shape our understanding of the divine—not from a place of cynicism, but from a deep loyalty to truth. If you're drawn to big questions about God, reality, and how theology can inform daily life, this episode offers a space for sincere exploration and dialogue.

Krishna Lila’s response to childhood trauma led her to ask life’s biggest questions: Who am I? What am I doing here? What is the purpose? Where is the meaning?

In this conversation, Krishna Lila shares her remarkable journey of self-discovery and the pivotal inner shifts that guided her from dissociative survival to embodied spirituality. For years, she felt trapped inside a box, with the instructions for escape written on the outside. She sought answers through top-rated psychologists and eventually entered the field herself, searching for a way out. But it wasn’t until a profound experience turned her gaze inward that she discovered transcendence wasn’t beyond her humanity—it was woven deeply within it. She realized that humanity is the very context of spirituality, and at its heart is bhakti—love.

Born in Argentina and raised in New York City, Krishna Lila is a renowned psychologist with decades of training under leading experts in trauma work, including Peter Levine. Now 84, she brings a lifetime of hard-won wisdom and, in this podcast, authentically shares the transformative power of healed trauma.
