How has your life changed over the past decade? Craig, Morgan, and Allen take turns answering that question in this poignant series from 2015—starting with Morgan's story.

Being a Christian mystic was never meant to be something exceptional or rare. In Part 4 of the series, John, Alex, and Allen swap stories about what it looks like to live as ordinary, everyday mystics and how we're all meant to know God and the beauty of his kingdom in deep, profound ways. In this light, the Apostle John, St. Paul, and David were all mystics; certainly Adam and Eve were as well. Once we understand Christian mysticism as the daily experience of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, we can experience the normal life of an ordinary mystic. The book John referenced is A Wind in the House of Islam by David Garrison. The Prayer of Descent Podcast that John referenced can be found here.

Ordinary Mystics

In Part 3 of the series, John, Alex, and Allen reveal how Jesus wants to rescue us from the barriers to fully experiencing God and his kingdom. Returning to the life we were created for isn't a complicated process. But it does require us to exchange our cynicism, skepticism, and pragmatism for the simple trust of a child.

What Children & Mystics Know

As the series continues, John, Alex, and Allen look at how our culture clings to the belief that practical information is the way to salvation. Yet as this information on the Internet is continually contradicted and undermined, we grow more fragile, vulnerable, and cynical. It has made weary skeptics of us all. Even in the area of faith, we try to make God and his kingdom 'practical' by stripping it of all wonder, mystery, and power. Thankfully, there is a way out of the madness.

Weary, Skeptical Pragmatists

John, Alex, and Allen begin this new series with a disruptive observation: We are all disciples of the Internet and it has shaped us profoundly. For one thing, the Internet has discipled our souls to anticipate, even demand, immediate answers. So when we ask God a question and are not answered in the way the Internet does, we feel he isn't listening. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The effects go far, far deeper. _______________________________________________

Disciples of the Internet

John and Allen conclude the First Quarter recap by focusing on what we believe will be our two most important podcasts this year. Together, they provide orientation to this moment in time. What does it mean to pursue the "All-In" Life—and why is that the only safe place in the world? John expands on a Narnia phrase to reveal that there's actually a second wardrobe door we must go through to experience the full Kingdom life. From there, John passionately shares why union with God must be at the epicenter of everything we are and do. The highlight segments are from our February 26, 2024, podcast (The "All-In" Life) and the March 4, 2024, episode (Don't Miss the Main Thing).
