This podcast is exactly what my brain and heart need at this time in our world. Really appreciate the thoughtful and informed discussions. Thank you!
Listening to you this morning as we continue to “Keep Steppin “ Thank you for your impeccable civil discourse…all of you bring me hope. If you are unaware of the work of Father John Dear,may I suggest his work on Nonviolence…He runs the Beatitudes Center in California and is a powerful voice for these times…Fr. Dan Berrigan was a mentor of his,they shared jail time together.
With you in Spirit!
As I listened to the recent Convocation, it occurred to me that the current administration (read “regime”) is acting out the shadow side of the United States. All of last week’s reflections from the Center for Action and Contemplation were about how and why our shadow selves are formed. They operate in individuals as well as collectives. The persona that America puts forward has a dark side that has now come to the fore. It’s a revelation.
Really helpful conversations by very intelligent and informed people who think from a Biblical perspective.
Please keep this podcast up! I love all the data talks. I hope you guys decide to keep this going. Even if it’s bi-weekly.
