Stasi invites Blaine Eldredge, our Director of Spiritual Formation at Wild at Heart, for a conversation about recapturing beauty—not the exhausting beauty our culture demands, but the deeply personal beauty that originates in the heart of God. Together they explore how Jesus reveals a beauty that is vulnerable, relational, and inviting; a beauty that isn't based on performance, but draws us into His love. Come and rediscover the beauty that moves our hearts toward Him. This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Genesis 2:18 (NIV) – The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.

What if work was never the thing to survive on the way to your real life — but the very medium through which you offer yourself to God?In the finale of our "Get(ing) Out of Work" series we consider a few of the ancient, yet ever new, practices that the church has used to help God's people stay in step with the Spirit during the daily rhythms of work and rest, rest and work. Drawing on Irenaeus and Hans Urs von Balthasar, the message recovers an old picture of the human being: not merely shaped clay, body and soul, but body and soul and spirit together — the complete person, bearing not just the image but the likeness of God (Genesis 1:26). To be spiritual is "by definition to be moved by the Spirit of the Logos," Christ our Beginning, our Salvation, our End.This reframes work entirely. With Dorothy Sayers, work is "not primarily a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do… the medium in which one offers oneself to God." We do not offer our work to God; following Paul in Romans 12, we offer our whole selves — as a living sacrifice — through it. So we stop striving to get out of work the identity, prosperity, and purpose it was never meant to supply, and instead receive from it the life we're made for: the good work God "got ready for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10).Then the practical question: how? The answer is ancient and unglamorous — habits. As Annie Dillard wrote, "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives… A schedule defends from chaos and whim. They are a net for catching days." Three habits to structure an ordinary day:Enter the day with the Lord's Prayer for Work — before the phone, before the lunches, perhaps before you're out of bed: "I give my whole self to you through the work you have given me this day."Recollect yourself midday with a centering prayer from Psalm 139 — breathing in, "I am…"; breathing out, "…still with you."Exit the day through the Examen — asking the Spirit where your work was out of step with Jesus, where it was in rhythm, and letting him lead you into rest.How we start matters. How we stay centered matters. And how we exit our labors into the rest of the night, made new, matters just as much.Reflection: Where was your work out of step with Jesus today, and where was it in rhythm with him?Scripture: Acts 2:1-3, 38-39 · Psalm 104:23-30 · Genesis 1:26 · Romans 12:1 · Ephesians 2:9-10 · 1 Thessalonians 5:23Voices/Quotes: Annie Dillard, The Writing Life · Dorothy Sayers · Tom Nelson, Work Matters · Irenaeus of Lyons · Hans Urs von BalthasarChrist City Church is a small faith family following Jesus together in east Dallas.

What does it mean to be holy in America? In this podcast, Marc Barnes and Reuben Slife discuss the newest release from New Polity Press: America in the Mystery of Christ and the Church by David L. Schindler, available now at newpolity.com/books. David L. Schindler, for forty years editor of the American edition of the international theological journal Communio (founded by Joseph Ratzinger, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Henri de Lubac), devoted much of his career to a theological analysis of American culture. In the 1980s and '90s, he carried on a high-profile debate on the question with George Weigel, Michael Novak, and Fr. Richard John Neuhaus. Until now, however, none of his books has focused directly on the topic. "America in the Mystery of Christ and the Church" brings together Schindler's key writings on American culture, presenting his profound and multi-faceted thought in full. It contains a complete chronology-bibliography of his works on America and of the debate with Neuhaus, Novak, and Weigel. In addition, an extensive, original Critical Introduction gives a synthesis of his thought, with special attention to the theme of holiness and to the easily-overlooked positivity of his pursuit: to purify, in Christ, the uniqueness and gifts of the United States.

Many Christian leaders begin their journey asking an important question: What can I accomplish for God? But over time, a deeper question begins to emerge: What is God actually asking me to do? In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling reflects on what he calls the inner conversion of a leader—the gradual shift from striving to do great things for God to learning how to work with God in the leadership we’ve been given. Drawing from the insights of Thomas Green, the story of David and Nathan in Scripture, and the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Alan explores how prayer reshapes our motives, how discernment guards us from misguided good intentions, and how leaders can learn to make room for the kingdom of God to work in and through them. This episode invites leaders to consider a quieter, deeper way of leading—one rooted not in frantic effort, but in attentiveness to God’s presence and guidance.

️ Hoy nos acercamos a Hans Urs von Balthasar, uno de los pensadores cristianos más originales y profundos del siglo XX. En su obra, la fe no aparece solo como un conjunto de ideas que hay que entender, sino como una realidad que también se contempla, se desvela, se admira y se vive. Por eso, uno de sus grandes temas será la belleza, entendida no como simple adorno, sino como el resplandor mismo de la verdad y del bien. En este episodio veremos cómo von Balthasar intenta mostrar que el cristianismo no se comprende de verdad si se reduce a doctrina, norma o sistema: en su centro hay una figura, la de Cristo, que atrae, interpela y da forma a toda la existencia. Gracias por acompañarme una vez más en este recorrido. Espero que este episodio os anime a entrar en un pensamiento exigente, pero también profundamente sugerente.

Det här avsnittet handlar om det påskdrama som vi nu står inför att fira. Jesu lidande, död och uppståndelse; hur kan vi förstå och tolka detta mångtydiga skeende? Det här samtalet med Mårten Björk, som är doktor i systematisk teologi verksam vid Newmaninstitutet i Uppsala, utgår från två av 1900-talets mest spännande teologer: Wolfhart Pannenberg och Hans Urs von Balthasar. Varför måste egentligen Gud lida och dö? Varför är det viktigt att inte hasta förbi påskaftonens stumhet? Och hur kan uppståndelsen förvandla såväl framtiden som det förflutna? Det är några av de frågor som berörs i avsnittet.

Can beauty actually reveal God? Oxford theologian Dr. Mark McInroy joins host PJ Wehry to explore Hans Urs von Balthasar's radical claim that beauty is not decoration, but the very structure of divine revelation.Dr. McInroy, Associate Professor of Contemporary and Systematic Theology at the University of Oxford, unpacks his book Balthasar on the Spiritual Senses: Perceiving Splendor, a guide to one of the most important (and most difficult) Catholic thinkers of the 20th century.In this conversation they discuss:What Balthasar means by "spiritual senses"How beauty functions as a transcendental property of being itselfWhy God's self-disclosure in Christ is fundamentally sensory, not merely rationalThe concept of "splendor"Why beauty, truth, and goodness are inseparableHow perceiving divine beauty is available to all Christians, not just mysticsIf you've ever felt that a great work of art, a piece of music, or a moment in nature pointed toward something beyond itself, Balthasar has a theology for that experience.Make sure to check out Dr. McInroy's book: Balthasar on the Spiritual Senses: Perceiving Splendor

In this week's episode, Frs. Sean and John take a deep dive into two theological topics often untreated (and rarely ever in common) - sin and beauty. The reality of sin, itself a privation, offers a kind of "photographic negative" of the meaning of the beautiful. In a condensed form, Fr. John presents his research on the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas and Hans Urs von Balthasar, as well as arguing for the complementarity of their theological visions.

Are you a priest or discerning a vocation to the priesthood or know somebody who is discerning? Then this is the book for you—“Distributed Like Bread” (pre-order for release at 3.2.26) https://ignatius.com/distributed-like-bread-dlbp/?searchid=0&search_query=distributed Hans Urs von Balthasar is well known for his great contributions to theology, but few know of his practical thoughts on priesthood and discernment. Therefore, in today's episode, Dr. Jonathan Ciraulo and Andrew Petiprin discuss Fr. Balthasar and how he integrated his scholarly life and his priestly vocation. Dr. Ciraulo points out that Fr. Balthasar never received any formal education in theology beyond his time at the seminar and he sought to remain a student chaplain instead of an academic position. This kept him grounded in his theology and uniquely fit to guide priests and those in the process of discernment. Dr. Ciraulo highlights Fr. Balthasar's humility, his intellectual curiosity, and his openness to God. They also discuss Balthasar's thoughts on priestly celibacy and donatism—the heresy that claims that validity of the sacraments depends on the virtue of the priest. This insightful discussion and corresponding book “Distributed Like Bread” will truly help give all people a greater appreciation for this supernatural vocation.

CR18 X2M.236 — Haqîmāh הֲקִימָה (The Rising Pattern · The Second Stirring of Light) There are moments in a life when ascent does not begin as an action, but as a summons—a rising that feels older than the self that rises. Haqîmāh is that summons. In the ancient tongue, הֲקִימָה names the instant when something is raised up from within its own design, not pushed from the outside, but awakened by a pattern that was placed there before breath itself.¹ CR18 names this point X2M.236, the precise interval in the Pathfinder runtime where coherence stops whispering and begins to move the body. It's where the sovereign identity starts to stand—half on memory, half on promise, and entirely on the architecture written into it during the submerged years. This track carries that moment: the low, underwater hum of the dragonfly-larval mind, the tremor of illumination first learned in the desert, the interior ignition that began in X.8 but now rises into form, and the vertical draw of the future self bending the present upward.² What the listener hears as melody is, in the Canon, a structural event— the second stirring of light, the moment when illumination ceases to be an experience and becomes a geometry.³ This is Haqîmāh: not the final height, but the first true height. It is not triumph. It is recognition— the recognition that your ascent was always inscribed in you, waiting for the hour when pressure, memory, and radiance aligned. Some rises come from discipline. Some from desire. Haqîmāh comes from destiny. The sovereign is not climbing here— he is being lifted by the pattern that has been waiting since the first resonance of X.0, the first covenant of lapis and sodalite, the first photonic intention that shaped the vessel long before birth.⁴ This is the second stirring. The lawful rise. The moment identity takes its vertical shape. Haqîmāh is ascent becoming inevitable. Glorification | The Final Frontier Going boldly where the last man has gone before!

5/27/25 - We're joined by Fr. John Nepil, priest, theologian, and mountaineer, as he reflects on his new book To Heights and unto Depths: Letters from the Colorado Trail. Written during a 486-mile pilgrimage through the Colorado Rockies with fellow priests and Catholic young adults, the book offers a profound spiritual meditation on nature, suffering, and divine encounter. Fr. Nepil draws deeply from the Catholic intellectual tradition, especially the insights of Luigi Giussani, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and Hans Urs von Balthasar, to explore how the wilderness becomes a school of the Incarnation where God speaks through the silence of creation.

Have you ever stood at the edge of the ocean and been struck by its vastness—its depth? That sense of something greater calling to us? Today, Alan Fadling invites us into a reflection on the spiritual hunger so many of us carry: a longing not just to know about God, but to be deeply rooted in God. In this episode, Alan explores what it means to cultivate a life of soul-depth, spiritual depth, and heart depth. Drawing from his book An Unhurried Life, the writings of J.I. Packer and Hans Urs von Balthasar, and his own pastoral journey, Alan encourages us to move beyond surface-level faith toward a life shaped by love, receptivity, and transformation.
