Master of Divinity Student Matthew Palmer joins me today in talking about deconstructing religion, the bible, and the supernatural. We talk about what it means to deconstruct, why it's important, and many other topics of philosophical conversation along the way.

Not a lot of people agree with how I view the difference between faith and belief. I only have this understanding from studying the historical and cultural etymology of the bible (Since as far as I can tell, this is where those concepts originated from). From that study, I now feel the appropriate language to describe my "spiritual" state, is that I DO NOT believe, but I do have faith.

Who says your idea of God, is God? I think to find the truth we need to let our ideas of him die, and I know doing this for myself, it's felt a like lot God himself has died, and maybe he has.

In this podcast I examine my two favorite TV episodes. In these episodes the themes are doom and death, so why did they gave me such a surreal feeling of peace? I think there is hidden truths in these episodes that we have forgotten, and when examined we can benefit from these truths in our every day lives.

As a lot of you know, my parents are pastors. Our dinner conversation are always deep and sometimes they can get a bit heated. I decided to start recording them for a podcast and this particular conversation is pretty chill (compared to others) and we talk about things from becoming a saint in the catholic church to the theology of suffering. Enjoy!!!

Last week I had a life changing experience. In it, I started to loose my mind and panic. Coming out of it, I had a smile and learned the value of Joy in life and how it relates to this possible illusion we call "reality".

Love is a funny thing... What does it really mean? Well, whatever the case may be, the weight and power of the word has been lost. We throw it around like it means nothing. So how do we get it back? How do we give the word "LOVE" its power again? 

In this podcast I go in depth into the lessons I've learned throughout the years on the subject and concept of love. I talk about things my mentors have taught me and also share the things I've had to walk through in order to discover the weight of love once again.

The road to freedom from fear has been a VERY bumpy and rocky road for me, but I've learned some PRICELESS lessons along the way and I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything. In this podcast, I share the lessons Ive learned that have helped me get through the most terrifying times of my life.

One of the greatest lessons I've learned in life is that you don't learn from success. You learn when you fall, get up, repeat. The problem is a lot of people are afraid to fall, so they tip-toe around their dream or the person they want to become instead of diving towards failure, and failure is inevitable. So why not dive into it and "fall" in love with the process?

It's been a recurring practice in my life for quite some time now to be mindful of what actually matters in life and examining if what Im doing actually lines of with that. Am I working towards my goals, my dreams, and who I want to be, or am I just filling my time and space with nonsensical things that feel good in the moment but don't actually help me or anyone around me? I've noticed more than I'd like to admit that it's the latter, and I think this has become a MAJOR part of humanity that is really holding us back from who we all want to become.
