Experiencing God: an Open Online ClassKick off the new year with a nerdy good time. The next Homebrewed class will be a robust exploration of how the tools of science, philosophy, and theology help us discern meaning from divine encounters. We’ll discuss God-experiences as mediated through faith communities, the mind, nature, the Bible, psychedelics, and more. And we’ll do all this with an eye towards the future, exploring the possibilities for how a lived-theology could express itself in the world. Check it out here.
Here’s the trailer for Experiencing God (the online class) Follow the podcast, drop a review, or become a member of the HBC Community. Previous Podcast Episodes w/ Myron- Navigating Philosophy & Religion
