The GoodBeing Podcast

I am finally sharing this wonderful conversation I had with trainer, martial artist, and movement coach Kian Cham. We explore the deep connection between martial arts, movement, and philosophy, and Kian helps me understand the nebulous concept of "Ki".

He also shares insights on how traditional practices can transform our understanding of body, mind, and conflict, offering practical tips for integrating movement into daily life.

We've all heard the phrase "Jesus died for our sins" but what does that actually mean? Many of us were taught that Jesus had to die for God to forgive us, but there are plenty of stories where Jesus or God forgives people without blood or death being involved.

Understanding the essence of the Easter story is much more about putting on our metaphorical and poetical minds to understand what the authors of this story were trying to tell us. It's really a story about at-one-ment, and it's an invitation to let go of the myth of redemptive violence.

I chat with author Ian Morgan Cron in a conversation centered around his most recent book, The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the Down-and-Out, and Everyone In Between.

We talk about common misconceptions of the 12 -step program, and its relevance for anyone seeking personal growth. we also talk about how traditional religion can often feel exclusionary or too concerned with appearances, and how often the most transformative experiences happen in church basements rather than in pews.

John O'Donohue said “Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity and awareness, the more original and creative our time will become.” Let's talk about what this could mean for the things that we choose to do, and for the things that we pay attention to.

Have you noticed how everything looks the same? Every car looks identical, they can't stop remaking movies, and your social media feed is full of people copying each other's videos. I think this is because true inspiration often comes from silence, from the space between thoughts.

This episode explores how our already chattering minds are being impacted by cheap dopamine and our fear of boredom, and why constant stimulation stops our ability to truly become ourselves.

Those of us wrestling with meaning are part of a lineage of human longing. We aren’t the first people to feel lost; we are simply the latest in a long line of seekers. Yet, there is something different about our time and place in history. We get into what that difference is in today's episode.

We know where to go for knowledge (science/academia), we know where to go for information (the internet), but we have no idea where to go for meaning and wisdom. People seem to be finding their lives more meaningless than ever. Why? Let's talk about it.

These days, I'm feeling convicted by the idea that we have to learn to live together. Perhaps obvious in some ways, but when society feels so divided it's an idea that we should keep in mind more often. Part 5 in our series is all about communication, and the role that it plays in bringing people together, even when we disagree.
