Unseen Orbits

Sports are simple, right? Just a ball, a goal, and some rules? Underneath the game, we see the complex nature of tribes and ego. My team is good, that team is bad. We play the right way, they are a disgrace. That player is a god and I want to be just like her.

Sports can teach us about the benefits and dangers of having tribes. Join us as we orbit around all things SPORTS!

Music can give us an identity. An expression. A tribe to belong to. Why is music and art so often sanitized and dulled down? Why were so many of us told to conform? The best music and art gives us a chance to sit in our pain and our darkness and wrestle with it. And then, after authentically addressing it, we can start building again and see hope.

Join our conversation about authentic expression and the power of music as we talk about MF Doom, Outkast, Biggie Smalls, Nirvana, and Jesus.

What is the value of play? It's more important than many of us give it credit for. Play is connected to humility and vulnerability and being present. Nobody likes people that take the world too seriously, but many of us are guilty of doing this very thing. Join us as we discuss how to approach the world with child-like joy.

Do you ever feel like your work or art is never good enough? Are these feelings good or bad? Sometimes they motivate us to get better and sometimes they come from envy and comparison. This week we discuss the concepts of kaizen, process over results, and having resiliency.

What is sacred? What is secular? Many of us have been taught to view art and music through these filters. Imagine if we opened our eyes to the magic in every moment, in every work of art, every fragment of life and responded to the awe and beauty that is all around us.

This episode we talk about comfort food, time travel, ebenezers, and tribalism. You know, just normal stuff. Join us as we orbit around comfort food and what it can teach us about life and faith.

What can movies and stories tell us about the human experience? Can a movie about aliens help us recalibrate our current reality? What does this all have to do with faith and relationships and living in the now? Join us in our first episode as we explore the connections between movies and faith and life.
