Here is a excerpt as part of the series I've created for my Spark My Muse YouTube Channel (Here's the link to find the rest: youtube.com/@Sparkmymuse)This part 4 in the series of 7 explores how the nature of desire is a signpost to the infinite. Longing, bliss, desire are more than they appear to be.This series distills the too-often obtuse work of David Bentley Hart from his book The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss I think this book has many brilliant point, but most people find reading his work exhausting and don't get to the gems. (If you'd like, you can find that book here: https://amzn.to/3QRFzIW)
What you are about to hear is part two of seven in a series explaining a foundational book by David Bentley Hart.My interest in high theism is strengthened by the fact that you can have a deep faith, be a skeptic, or a confused doubter and still embrace these first principles and ideas about existence.

Winn Collier has written "A Burning in my Bones" the authorized biography of Pastor Eugene Peterson, who is the man probably best known for creating The Message translation of the Bible. In my conversation with Winn, we meaningfully discuss the man, Eugene, and some key ways that made him who he was. We can't do more than scratch the surface of all that's covered in this remarkable book, but we touch some important pieces, some of the impetus and process of this enormous four-year authorized biography project, and how Peterson and his family uniquely touched Winn's life. Enjoy and share!

KJ is a licensed professional therapist and someone who also lives with a painful and debilitating chronic illness since young adulthood. Her empathy and wisdom are hard-won. I first found KJ on Twitter—like a candle in a dark room—and delving into her work has been a true treasury of insights, hope, and kindness.

On Soul School today they are some insights from the 2004 essay by Paul Graham "What We Can't Say" (I"m reading excerpts). It has intellectual rigor and serves as important reminder of the purpose of taboos in relation to power, how moral fashion work, and resisting our default setting of thinking what we are told to think. I don't embrace all of his examples nor have I landed in the same places as some of his conclusions, but his thesis is a worthy one, and we are wise to listen and be challenge by it.

Today, I'm delighted to introduce you to Phuc Luu (pronounce his name- Fōō Lēw). Born in Southern Vietnam, Phu escaped with his family after the war, when he was young, and grew up in Houston. He is a theologian, teacher, podcaster, and artist. His book "Jesus of the East: Reclaiming the Gospel for the Wounded" has opened my eyes to a kind of Asian Christian Liberation Theology that adds much richness to my understanding of what God is up to. It's must-read! Listen to our important conversation.

The eternal is nearer to us than anything; just as the most familiar can be, or become, the most unknown. Let us pierce the facade of the familiar in order that we don't grow deadened.

Today, I'm reflecting on the stages of grief and the feelings of falling apart that are more common at this stage of the pandemic time of seclusion. I'm inviting us to look to the spiritual insights of our siblings of the American Black Church and the contemplative practices of embodied lament that are a testament to their spiritual nourishment and survival under the horrific institution of slavery and continual mistreatment and injustice endured since the African diaspora of the 1450s. I am reading passages from Barbara A. Holmes powerful work Joy Unspeakable: Contemplative Practices of the Black Church.
