In this episode I am joined by Stuart Camps, a 30 year devotee of the American spiritual teacher Adi Da, long time curator of Adi Da's zoo, the “Fear No More Zoo”, and author of “Lightning Thunder Cows”, a memoir of Stuart's life with his guru. Stuart recalls his upbringing in Papa New Guinea, his later struggles to reintegrate into Australian society, and his lifelong connection with animals. Stuart describes his approach to Adi Da and their first meeting, how he became a devotee and zoo keeper, and details his master's teachings about animals and natural contemplation. Stuart shares many anecdotes of his personal interactions with Adi Da, reflects on the teacher's controversial behaviours and claims, and considers whether Adi Da was trapped by his own spiritual community. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - 30 years with Adi Da 04:16 - Lightning Thunder Cows 05:56 - Natural contemplation 07:31 - Are animals inferior to humans 11:15 - Childhood in Papa New Guinea 12:53 - Explaining Adi Da's use of the term “non-humans” 13:47 - Life in Papa New Guinea 15:36 - Childhood mystical experiences 17:45 - Reading habit 18:49 - Difficulties adjusting to Australian life 20:45 - Connection with animals 22:43 - The Eating Gorilla Comes In Peace 25:35 - Approaching Adi Da 26:56 - Trying to escape 31:47 - The need to grow up 35:25 - “Come to me when you're already happy” 38:44 - Preparing to work with Adi Da 42:39 - Powerful first meeting with Adi Da 48:58 - Stuart's unique relationship with Adi Da 53:04 - Adi Da on animals 58:27 - Direct relationship rather than religion 58:55 - Stuart's evolving understanding of Adi Da and his controversial behaviour 01:04:31 - Adi Da's sannyasin period 01:07:40 - What was it like to be around Adi Da? 01:08:24 - Reflecting on Adi Da's claims to superlative spiritual realisation 01:12:03 - Why did Adi Da incarnate? 01:16:02 - More of Adi Da on animals 01:21:18 - Adi Da's roar when a camel died 01:25:48 - Human congestion and thought 01:30:14 - Energetic conductivity and premodern peoples 01:35:27 - The role of spiritual practitioners 01:37:06 - Australian aborigines 01:40:08 - What it takes to be in relationship with a guru like Adi Da 01:49:59 - Problems with the community 01:50:45 - Was Adi Da trapped by his own community? 01:53:10 - Adi Da's sacred theatre activities 01:56:30 - Why Stuart left Adidam 01:57:56 - Adi Da's death 02:02:40 - Life after Adidam 02:06:54 - Sadness at how Adi Da is perceived in the world 02:08:23 - Exhortation to consider Adi Da's teachings … To find our more about Stuart Camps, visit: - https://fearnomore.vision/ - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Stuart-Camps/author/B0CKQ9PFVJ?

None of us were created to sail through life alone and this week, as we look at Genesis 2, we will see that before Adam ever knew he needed companionship, God knew. That's where friendship begins; with God's provision. Christ created us for relationships that give us purpose. We all need people who will get in the boat with us, weather the storms with us, and point us back to the Savior as we seek to be that in return. This Sunday, we are excited to be kicking off our new series called The Friend Ship. It's about far more than having friends, it's about discovering God's purpose together. We will see you Sunday!

Exhortation

“When I urge you to go to Confession, I am doing nothing else than urging you to be Christian.” Individual confession and absolution shows us the depth of our sin and provides healing medicine through the Gospel. We ask that all who confess Christ confess their sins so that with all boldness and confidence we trust that we come to Him and receive the priceless, full forgiveness of sins. We will not coerce, but the Church will always offer this precious gift. Rev. Ben Meyer, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Caledonia, MI, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to continue our study of private confession. To learn more about St. Paul in Caledonia, visit stpaulcaledonia.org. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors. Join us as these Christ-confessing Concordians read through and discuss our Lutheran doctrine in the Book of Concord in order to gain a deeper understanding of our Lutheran faith and practical application for our vocations.

This has vital information for you to know and act on - both physically and spiritually!

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

Did you like coffee the first time you tried it? For most of us, the experience of enjoying it has grown the more we've tasted it. And it can be the same way with Scripture. Listen to Pastor Toby's sermon, "Acquire a Taste for the Word," for more.

We are called to forgive one another as Christ has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32). This is not only done publicly, but confidentially, assuring that confidence of the sins will only be between the LORD and the confessor. Confession is not a payment for sins, but God's work through the shed blood of Christ. We are beggars. The gift of forgiveness is real and ready for all to receive in faith.   Rev. Ben Meyer, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Caledonia, MI, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to continue our study of private confession.

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

Exhortation

Our two most senior elders, Brothers John & Sam, encouraged the congregation with these thoughts: “Unless you have a connection with the Lord, you will not know what it is to have “The angel of the Lord encamped round about you that fear Him, and delivereth you. '  ' You will not know what it is to “taste and see that the Lord is good, because blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”Without a personal relationship with the Lord, you have nothing to trust in when your back is against the wall, and your world is falling apart. The word of the Lord cannot be your stability and the Rock of your salvation if the word was never implanted into your soul.

Lutherans promote and even exhort every Christian to make use of private confession and absolution. The Concordians opposed mandatory confession but urged every Christian, pastors and laity alike, to use their freedom in Christ to receive Christ's free forgiveness. There are two kinds of confession common among Christians: confession to the Lord and confession to the neighbor, as expressed in the Lord's Prayer. Yet the Church calls pastors to exercise the Office of the Keys by offering private, confidential confession, so that all who come in faith may receive a clear conscience in Christ.  Rev. Ben Meyer, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Caledonia, MI, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to begin a study of private confession. To learn more about St. Paul Lutheran Church, visit stpaulcaledonia.org.

Exhortation

What do you think of when someone mentions spiritual gifts? Many Christians immediately think of extraordinary phenomena such as speaking in tongues, healings, and miracles. Spiritual gifts include generous, joyful giving as well as the ability to speak the right words in the right situations. Exhortation and generous giving are often overlooked in the discussion of spiritual gifts. but they play a vital role in the building up of the body of Christ.
