Unseen Orbits

Our first ever IN-PERSON episode! We're back in Chicago and we orbit around the concepts of context and human dignity. How do our contexts shape us and how can we enter into the spaces of others, with care and empathy?

Our first ever Mini Orbit! We limit ourselves to a 10 minute orbit on hip hop legend, J Dilla, and what his style of beats can teach us about rhythms of rest and Sabbath.

A geriatric millennial walks into a vintage store and realizes he’s old. When it comes to life and faith, how do we decide what to throw away and what to keep that still has value? Join our conversation on all things VINTAGE.

What is the key to change? How about the key to relational health? What makes someone a humble leader? Self-awareness is a concept required for any kind of growth and change. When we turn a blind eye to our mistakes and gaps, we miss the chance to improve.

Mike Seaver was right—growing can be painful. Why is it this way? And why do we always forget this truth, longing for things to come easily? Join our conversation as we talk about guitar callouses, Genesis 3, becoming healthy, and the Korean concept of “mek.”

Do we make connection with God too complicated? Many speak of being distant or far from this God but what if connected with the Divine is as simple as shooting free throws or casting a reel in and out? This week we talk about being a TEMPLE of God and what this implies for us.

Call it toxic tribalism or extremism or polarity—we live in a time of great binaries. I’m on the left, therefore everyone on the right, is wrong. It’s either black or white.

More than ever, the world needs people who think with nuance, refusing to live in the extremes. We need people with empathy, who seek to understand. We need spectrum thinking.

Welcome to Season 2 of Unseen Orbits.

This week we talk the time a tiger named Shawna escaped in Circus City, USA and what that can teach us about origin stories and our need for approval. It's a weird one!

Hurry and hustle and busy. We celebrate these 3 words in our society. You are important if you are busy and in a rush and have things to do. The faster you find success, the better you are. We rush to prove our worth to others. But it’s killing us. We all know this. Join us as we talk about an alternative way of living. Slow. Unhurried. Restful. SLOW IS THE NEW FAST. It’s a way of living…

What’s the difference between Starbucks and a local coffee shop? And how does this teach us about churches and nationalism and embracing our uniqueness? Rotofugi and Coldplay and QAnon.

This week we orbit around the beauty of subcultures.
