Hunger for Wholeness

Story matters. Our lives are shaped around immersive, powerful stories that thrive at the heart of our religious traditions, scientific inquiries, and cultural landscapes. All stories – big and small – point toward our fundamental hunger for wholeness, understanding, and love. Behind all these stories is a unity of love. Not a unity that is closed and exclusive, but a union that differentiates. Not a love that is simply romantic, but a love that connects us across our differences and helps us discover a way of flourishing together at a global scale.As Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein claimed, science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. This new podcast will launch a series called "A Hunger for Wholeness" that will hear from speakers in interdisciplinary fields of science and religion who are finding answers for how to live wholistic lives. We want to be part of creating a future that will birth a way of life where religion and science do not compete, but support and complement one another. Companioned by experts, we examine how our culture reveals a desire for love at the center of the universe and how religion and science cooperate to bring that love alive.
