Breathing and Reading with Danny | Episode: "The Sky Won't Open"

After months away for personal spiritual practice in Southeast Asia, Danny returns with something different: a reading of his Substack essay, The Sky Won't Open: Why I Don't Think Jesus Is Literally Coming Back.

Written on the anniversary of his departure from the Christian faith and against the backdrop of rising global tension, this essay traces a life shaped by deep devotion. From the Black church tradition of the American South to messianic Judaism, celibate gay Christianity, agnosticism, and finally yoga, Danny offers an unflinching and tender account of what happens when a long-held worldview quietly gives way.
