EP #130 - Rediscovering Wonder - Interview with Keith Giles
God and His creation are wondrous and full of mystery that we are invited to discover. When we place certainty above mystery, we lose our childlike wonder and joy.

Join Keith and myself as we revel in the beautiful, wondrous uncertainty of God and creation!

He is the author of the 7-part best-selling Jesus Un book series, which includes: Jesus Unbound: Liberating the Word of God from the Bible; and Jesus Untangled: Crucifying Our Politics To Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb.

EP #129 - The Frequencies of Love
We live in a supercharged world of offense, division, and polarization. Christ prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one. To answer the prayer, we as sons and daughters of God, were given one commandment - to love and God loves. Love and His eternal commandment is so sweeping, nuanced, and impossible in and of ourselves, that we continually need to bathe in His love and grow in our revelation of Him. Join me as I explore this in fresh and beautiful new ways.

EP #125 - Knowing God & Making Him Known
God is Love. And love is all about experiencing intimacy. You can only be intimate with what you know and you can only make known what you know. In our relationship with God, we are dependent upon Him to help us know Him deeper and in more sweeping ways. Out of that overflow, we can help others to know God. Join me as I share this powerful message!

EP #123 - Belly Button Theology
One of the most damaging things that religions do, including, and unfortunately often in the most toxic way, the Christian religion, is put some people “outside of God”. We have been guilty of this, because we are terrified that, if we don’t create such distinctions, we are sending people or are going ourselves to hell with some form of eternal conscious torment. Yikes! But Christ, as the Eternal Word, repeatedly told us to look to Him, not to ourselves, our own understanding, and our efforts. What did He say about in His word about humanity, salvation, omnipresence, love, life, and narrow roads? Join me as I tackle this important life-giving message.
