What happens when a society possesses extraordinary technological power but lacks a shared sense of what that power is for? John Vervaeke, Jordan Hall, Guy Sengstock, and Christopher Mastropietro reunite for a sustained inquiry into normativity: the structures by which human beings perceive direction, value, responsibility, and the difference between better and worse action. The question becomes urgent in the context of artificial intelligence, where increasingly consequential decisions are being made inside a culture that struggles to articulate a coherent basis for judgment. The conversation begins with Guy's encounters with the AI community and the fear that humanity may soon make decisions it cannot reverse. From there, the group investigates modernity's technological understanding of being, the reduction of creation to artifacts, and the modern self's attachment to sole authorship. John and Jordan propose that meaning is participatory: intelligibility is not manufactured by isolated selves but emerges through shared authorship with other people, traditions, practices, and reality itself. The dialogue then turns toward virtue. If the problem is not simply ignorance but malformed attention and desire, knowing what should be done is insufficient. The deeper difficulty is how people become capable of wanting, perceiving, and participating in what is good. Socratic aporia, vulnerability, kenosis, embodied practice, pilgrimage, and dialogue are explored as ways of undergoing reorientation rather than merely acquiring information. In the final movement, the speakers discuss bad-faith dialogue, leisure, lingering, tourism, linguistic lostness, and doomscrolling. These apparently different subjects converge on one insight: when people remain sealed inside environments engineered around their existing capacities and preferences, they lose access to the forms of friction, surprise, and participation that can transform them. Key Insights Normativity is the directional structure through which actions appear better, worse, appropriate, or necessary. The AI crisis exposes a deeper cultural inability to answer what technology should serve. Modernity often confuses participation in creation with ownership of the resulting artifact. Meaning and intelligibility require shared authorship rather than sovereign individual control. Virtue cannot be transmitted as information alone; it requires transformed attention and participation. Embodied practices can reorganize abstractions because higher cognition remains rooted in sensorimotor life. Pilgrimage, leisure, and dialogos help people cross boundaries between worlds rather than consuming only familiar inputs. Doomscrolling is an efficient example of technology feeding hypertrophied capacities while narrowing participation in reality.

Power Through Patience What if patience is not the absence of power, but the pathway to it? In this Pentecost Sunday message, Power Through Patience, Dallas Amsden explores the upside-down way of the Kingdom, where true power does not come through control, speed, or self-reliance. It comes through surrender, waiting, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Looking at Philippians 2, Acts 1–2, and John 14, we'll see how Jesus models surrendered power through Kenosis, how the disciples waited in unity and prayer before Pentecost, and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live as witnesses of Jesus in the world. The world says, “Move faster. Take control. Force the outcome.” The Kingdom says, “Wait on the Lord. Empty your hands. Receive the Spirit.” Because in the Kingdom of God, the Spirit fills what surrender empties. Acts 2 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? What stood out to you most from this week's message on Pentecost and patience? Why do you think waiting is often uncomfortable for people? Looking at Acts 1:4-8, why do you think Jesus told the disciples to wait instead of immediately sending them out? What is Kenosis from Philippians 2:5-8, and how did Jesus model surrendered power? HEART – How did it make you feel? Which of these hit closest to home for you: confusing control with peace confusing speed with obedience confusing self-reliance with strength Why? Where in your life do you currently feel like you're in a “waiting room”? relationships healing finances purpose family clarity spiritual growth What are you most tempted to control when life feels uncertain? What does that reveal about your trust in God? HANDS – What are you going to do with it? What is one area of your life where you need to stop rushing and start trusting God more deeply? What would it practically look like for you to: wait with God instead of rushing ahead of Him? surrender control instead of forcing outcomes? seek God's presence instead of merely quick solutions? Take a moment and honestly share: Where are you emotionally exhausted from trying to hold everything together yourself?

First Will Be Last What sits on the throne of your heart?And what happens when the pursuit of being first quietly becomes the center of your life? In this message, we confront one of the deepest struggles of modern culture: the obsession with visibility, influence, comparison, and self-promotion. We live in a world where attention has become identity, where followers can feel like significance, and where people are constantly pressured to perform instead of simply live. But Jesus introduces a completely different Kingdom—one where greatness looks like servanthood, humility, surrender, and faithfulness. Through the teachings of Jesus in Mark 9:30-37 and the Parable of the Workers in Matthew 20:1-16, we uncover how comparison creates entitlement, how pride turns life into competition, and why grace feels offensive when we believe we deserve more than others. We also explore the powerful theological idea of Kenosis from Philippians 2:5-8—the self-emptying of Jesus—not as weakness, but as ultimate surrender. Because the Kingdom of God does not reward the loudest voice, the biggest platform, or the most recognized name. Heaven's scoreboard is different. The world climbs ladders… but the Kingdom washes feet. This message is a challenge to stop building the kingdom of self and surrender the throne to the true King. Because in the end, the goal of Christianity is not self-promotion… it's self-sacrifice.Message Description Mark 9:30-37 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? What stood out to you most from this week's message?  What does Jesus mean when He says, “the first will be last and the last first”? How does modern culture define greatness differently than the Kingdom of God? Looking at Matthew 20:1-16, why were the workers who came first upset even though they received exactly what was promised?  Do you think they had a legit reason to be upset? HEART – How did it make you feel? Which line hit you the hardest and why:            “Visibility is not the same as significance.”            “Comparison is the birthplace of resentment.”            “Pride turns life into competition. Humility turns life into calling.” When someone else succeeds, do you naturally celebrate with them… or compare yourself against them?  What does that reveal about your heart? HANDS – What are you going to do with it? Where are you tempted to build your identity around visibility instead of obedience? What is one practical way you can choose humility over self-promotion this week?serving quietlyencouraging someone elsecelebrating another person's success stepping away from comparison choosing faithfulness over attention Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next

Strength through Surrender What if surrender isn't weakness… but trust?And what if the interruptions in your life are invitations from God? In this Mother's Day message, we look at the story of Mary and discover a powerful Kingdom truth: God often does His greatest work through surrendered people. Mary's life was interrupted by a promise she didn't fully understand, a process she didn't control, and a future she could not clearly see. Yet her response became one of the most courageous statements in Scripture: “Be it unto me according to your word.” Together, we explore the biblical idea of Kenosis—the emptying of self—not as becoming less human, but as becoming fully surrendered to the God who created us. From Mary's “yes” to Jesus surrendering Himself in Philippians 2, we discover that the Christian life is not about clinging tighter to control but learning to trust God more deeply through the process. Because the truth is, most of us want the promise without the preparation. We want the destination without the journey. But God is not only concerned with where He is taking you… He is shaping who you become along the way. This message is an invitation to loosen your grip on fear, control, and self-preservation—and trust that surrender in the hands of God is never wasted.  Because sometimes the very thing that feels like interruption… is preparation for purpose. Luke 1: 26-38 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? What stood out to you most from this week's message? How is biblical surrender different from weakness or giving up? Why do you think God often reveals purpose progressively instead of giving us the whole picture at once? HEART – How did it make you feel? Which line hit you the most:“God's plans often arrive disguised as interruptions.”“The process is not punishment—it's preparation.”“Faith trusts God before it understands God.” What area of your life is hardest for you to surrender and why:controltimingfuturecomfortreputationunderstandingother? DEEP HEART QUESTION… Are you more focused on the destination God promised… or the person God is forming? HANDS – What are you going to do with it? What is one practical way you can surrender control to God this week? Where do you sense God may be developing your character instead of simply changing your circumstances?

Pastors Harold and Tim discuss the theme of emptiness leading to fullness, referencing Philippians and Paul's teachings on joy and relationship with Christ during trials. The concept of Kenosis is introduced, illustrating Christ's dual identity and His humility. Believers are encouraged to embody sacrifice and recognize Christ's authority for eternal life.

In the second half of His Sermon on the Plain in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus uses colorful, nearly comic illustrations to convey His primary point of our need to see to our hearts and lives before we presume to check others'. Then Jesus shares the core secret of how to live the best of all lives: (1) Come to Him; (2) Hear His Words; and (3) Act on Them. To investigate this most important of stories further, go here. 

¿Por qué algunos creyentes no avanzan a pesar de los años? En este mensaje aprenderemos sobre el secreto de la "Kenosis": el arte de vaciarnos del ego para ser llenos del Espíritu Santo.Aprenderás por qué tu orgullo es el mayor obstáculo para tu bendición y cómo, al dejar de defenderte y elevar tu nivel espiritual, te vuelves inalcanzable para los ataques del enemigo. Es tiempo de morir a tu "yo" para que la gloria de Dios viva en ti.

As we approach Ash Wednesday and the 2026 Lenten season, Makoto Fujimura's vision of slow art, hospitality, and kenotic creativity invites us to resist the speed, fear, and fragmentation of this cultural moment by learning again how to pay attention, to rest, and to become people capable of holding one another with care even amid grief, violence, and uncertainty. In this conversation, fine artist Makoto Fujimura reflects on art, trauma, hospitality, and the slow practices that help us remain human in fractured times. "I wanted this book to serve as a portal… to recognize something as maybe ordinary or as extraordinary as holding your granddaughter." Together with Mark Labberton, Fujimura reflects on art as generativity, kenosis, and the healing practice of attention. Together they discuss slow art, Ground Zero and trauma, Japanese aesthetics and hospitality, dandelions and attention, Sabbath rest, and self-emptying love. They explore how making art helps people remain human amid violence, polarization, and technological acceleration. Episode Highlights "I wanted this book to serve as a portal… to recognize something as maybe ordinary or as extraordinary as holding your granddaughter." "We are not just making… we are being made." "God is indeed the host." "Art is… a way for us to navigate our complex times." "It is okay for me to give my life away." About Makoto Fujimura Makoto Fujimura is a contemporary artist, writer, and cultural thinker known for "slow art" rooted in Japanese Nihonga painting traditions. His work explores generativity, culture care, theology of making, and the relationship between beauty and suffering. Having lived and worked near Ground Zero after 9/11, his artistic practice reflects themes of trauma, hospitality, and new creation. He is the author of Art Is: A Journey into the Light and other books on art, faith, and culture.

Today we celebrate the Epiphany, as Christ's divinity is revealed to the world.

As we enter the Season After the Epiphany, we explore the God revealed in Jesus Christ – the epiphany, exegesis, empathy, emptying, and exalted-one of God.

We focus today on the convergence of multiple themes around the visit of the wise men to the Christchild. In looking at that story today (in Matthew 2:1-12), we focus on two prime lessons: they represent all of us as OUTSIDERS being welcomed into the family of God. And Matthew holds two kings up to us to ask which one we follow: the Heroes of the world, or the Christ in a humble manger?To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.

Send us a textPrayer for NEW YEAR 2026.                       By Rev Deacon Patrick TifuHeavenly Father, we thank you for helping us see this new year. Grant us a great new year, one filled with good health, peace, joy and an abundance of your grace. May we be powerful instruments to make this messed up world more like heaven is. Help us to love and work for the wellbeing of our brothers and sisters. Give us Lord Jesus, the security and stability that is not based on the mess and chaos of this world but on the fact that You underwent a KENOSIS - a self-emptying of your Divine power, majesty and glory to enter into our messy world as a baby in weakness and humility in order to save us. You lived a life of amazing goodness- no power moves and yet you triumphed. Thank you Lord that in You we have the ultimate victory- Thank You Lord Jesus that in You we have someone to look up to and imitate as we journey to destination heaven. Thank you lord Jesus that in you we don't have to play power games and offer lip service. May we not be people who honour You with their lips yet our hearts are far away from You. Instead help us to be men and women of faith who trust you and honour and worship you with our lives. Give us the grace to be single-minded and focus on you, to please you in all we think, do and say. Help us to empty ourselves to serve you in our brothers and sisters. May we work hard in this new year, not be lazy or spend our time gossiping but to use our talents for the glory of Your name. Holy Spirit of truth, help us to give up our own personal happiness for the sake of others. Help us to suffer well so that others can see how we have joy even in the midst of suffering and come to know and serve You. Help us to not be distracted by the things of this world but keep our eyes, hearts and minds on you throughout this new year. This we ask through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. AmenSupport the show

One of the dangers of telling the Christmas story (or Easter, or how your grandparents walked from home to school uphill both ways...) as often as we do is that the stunning, mind-blowing aspects of God becoming human - and all that that means - can become ordinary and unremarkable. In this message we ask John in his prologue (John 1:1-14) and Paul in his use of an ancient Christian hymn (Phil 2:5-11) to help refresh our wonder. To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.

Send us a textWhat if the most faithful thing you can do is admit you're out of strength? We open with a crisp reset on two often-confused ideas—kenosis and depravity—so the scene in Job 6 comes into focus. Kenosis is voluntary emptying for the sake of humble service; depravity is our inability to please God apart from grace. With that lens, Job's lament sounds less like guilt and more like truth. He's spent. His help isn't in him. His wisdom feels gone. And the friends who should refresh him have become dry streams.We sit with Job's exhaustion and then look around our own lives. How often do we offer analysis instead of pity? How often do we confuse strength with performance, resilience with denial? The conversation challenges a cultural script that says “be strong, you'll bounce back,” and replaces it with a biblical one: God's strength is made perfect in weakness. You cannot be filled while you're full of yourself. That's the heart of kenosis—laying down status, reputation, and the need to be right so that God can fill what you cannot fix.Voices from our community add depth and courage. A raw story of suffering becomes a doorway to faith. A reminder from Scripture anchors us: no one comes unless the Father draws, and all whom he gives will come. We explore why focusing on wounds rather than worth keeps us near God, how suspicion masquerades as discernment, and why real friends offer water before words. Through Job's imagery of failed brooks, we learn to become living streams—people who carry mercy, presence, and truth in season.If you're tired of pretending you're fine, this conversation gives language and hope. Expect a clearer view of humility, a firmer grip on God's sovereignty, and practical guidance for comforting the afflicted without piling on. Subscribe, share this with someone in a hard season, and leave a review telling us where you've seen strength show up in weakness. Your story might become water for someone else.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, is the president of Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio and is our guest on this episode. Fr. Dave grew up in a devoted Catholic family and he and his siblings were very involved in various types of sports. Fr. Dave liked the competitive nature of sports, but most appreciated the relationships that are prevalent in team sports. Looking back, he realizes how the lessons he learned in his early years in sports helped shape him for his current role.   As the president of a university, Fr. Dave is a very busy man who has many responsibilities. With a full day in front of him, he finds that spending 30 to 45 minutes on a treadmill each morning before going to the office is very beneficial to his day.  Fr. Dave also recently attended a Notre Dame game and is a Denver Broncos fan. He can't imagine his life without sports.   Fr. Dave explains the three types of Franciscan Orders and the Third Order Regular (TOR). Although he felt called to the priesthood at a young age, Fr. Dave knew that he was not called to be a diocesan priest. He needed to be in a community, a brotherhood that supports each other. He lives with nineteen Friars and enjoys the camaraderie and the sports rivalries inherent in a group of men. Fr. Dave also explains what he likes about St. Francis who lived in the 12th to 13th century in Italy and felt called by God to “Rebuild My Church”.   Fr. Dave explains some of the many assignments he had in the Order prior to his assignment as President of Franciscan University in 2019. In his current role, he talks about celebrating early morning daily Mass in a packed chapel that holds 590 people at a time when roughly 70% of “kids” stop going to church. Franciscan University also sponsors about 25 summer youth conferences across the country with approximately 60,000 young people attending.   Fr. Dave discusses his collaboration with Wild Goose TV in producing a video series called My Father's Father in which he talks about experiences and discussions he had with his father that taught Fr. Dave more about Our Heavenly Father. He also collaborated with Wild Goose TV to produce a series called “Metanoia”, a Greek word that means a transformation of the heart, a spiritual conversion, which comes about through repentance. The Metanoia series was filmed in the Holy Land. Fr. Dave also talks about two video series he is involved in called “In Focus” and “In Person”.   Of all the many things that encompass Fr. Dave's life, he just wants to do what God wants him to do. He hopes everything he's doing comes from his personal relationship with Jesus. Fr. Dave cannot imagine doing anything else. He hopes that his 2000 students know that “Fr. Dave is proud of me!”, like Fr. Dave's father was proud of him.   Fr. Dave talks about prayer and says it's “pretty simple” and tells listeners how to have a good prayer time. Like the old Nike adage, Fr. Dave encourages listeners to “Just Do It!” In the life of a Franciscan, the word “kenosis” is important. Kenosis means “emptying” of oneself and is best described in Philippians 2:6-8. While prayer may be simple, kenosis takes practice (like hitting a baseball). Fr Dave talks about how he experiences kenosis.   Fr. Dave ends by emphatically stating that young people are good, and they are not the future of the Church as he has heard some people say, young people are part of the Church today! He invites listeners to visit Franciscan University and go to Mass at 6:30 in the morning! He likes that young people are “messy” sometimes and are still trying to figure things out. With his belief in and enthusiasm for young people, it's not a stretch to say that God has Fr. Dave in just the right place!   Links: Franciscan University of Steubenville | Live the Truth Youth Conferences - Steubenville Conferences Wild Goose TV streaming platform – My Father's Father and Metanoia Franciscan University Faith & Reason - Nurture your soul and your mind. – contains “In Focus” and “In Person” series with Fr.

Philippians 2:3-11; Matthew 20:20-28 The Rev. Dan Marotta

This dialogue reveals a spiritual community grappling with contemporary challenges through the lens of mystical Christianity and esoteric spirituality. The central presentation by Doug Scott introduces what he terms a "spiritual technology" - the practice of kenosis or mutual abiding - as a method for transforming personal and political anger into spiritual breakthrough. Core Theological Framework Doug Scott presents kenosis, a concept from mystical Christianity meaning "self-emptying," as a practical spiritual method. His framework suggests that divine reality operates through a continuous dance of giving and receiving between the Creator and creation. Rather than viewing God as a distant transcendent force, he describes a panentheistic reality where the divine simultaneously contains all things while dwelling intimately within them. The process he outlines follows a specific pattern: reaching complete personal incapacity, surrendering control through prayer and invitation, experiencing divine presence as "golden light" or "holy burning," and allowing this presence to perform transformation that individual effort cannot achieve. This mirrors the first three steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, which Doug explicitly connects to mystical Christian tradition. Personal Crisis as Spiritual Catalyst Doug's vulnerability in sharing his anger toward his Trump-supporting father serves as a case study for the broader group. His experience illustrates how political and family tensions can create spiritual crisis - what he describes as "unbearable tension" leading toward depression. Rather than treating this crisis as pathology, he reframes it as necessary spiritual material. The dreams he describes - featuring themes of chakra blockage, forgiveness, and embodiment - function as internal guidance pointing toward the need for surrender. His breakthrough comes not through psychological analysis or willpower, but through what he characterizes as genuine spiritual intervention following sincere invitation. Community Resonance and Validation The responses from other participants reveal this is not an isolated experience. Sirak's workplace conflict resolution, Barbara's transformation of hatred toward her mother, Neal's ongoing struggle with neighbors and family, and Clara's family reunion insights all demonstrate variations on similar themes: the insufficiency of personal effort alone and the transformative power of surrender. Troy's contribution about his spiritual directee - a naturally gracious minister now experiencing unprecedented anger - suggests these challenges may be collectively experienced rather than purely individual. This frames current political tensions as spiritual catalyst for shadow work rather than mere social discord. Integration Challenges and Ongoing Work Doug's honesty about the persistence of angry thought forms even after breakthrough points to the ongoing nature of this spiritual work. His description of "luminous darkness" versus "alienating darkness" suggests transformation involves learning to hold difficult emotions within expanded spiritual capacity rather than eliminating them entirely. The group's emphasis on becoming "vessels" or "chalices" of love indicates their goal extends beyond personal healing toward service. This connects individual transformation to broader social healing, positioning spiritual practice as response to collective crisis. Critical Assessment While participants report meaningful personal experiences, several aspects warrant careful consideration. The framework relies heavily on subjective experience and religious interpretation that may not translate across different spiritual backgrounds. The emphasis on surrender, while psychologically sound in many contexts, could potentially be problematic if it discourages appropriate action or enables passive acceptance of genuinely harmful situations. The political dimension presents particular complexity. While using current tensions as spiritual catalyst has merit, there's risk of spiritualizing away legitimate concerns about policy impacts on vulnerable populations. The framework would benefit from clearer guidance about when spiritual surrender is appropriate versus when external action remains necessary. Additionally, the group's homogeneous perspective - all participants seem to share similar political views and spiritual inclinations - may limit their ability to truly bridge divides they're attempting to heal through spiritual practice. Practical Applications The dialogue offers several concrete practices: reaching genuine acknowledgment of personal limitation, sincere invitation for divine assistance, and willingness to serve as conduits rather than sources of love. The emphasis on process over outcome - transformation as gift rather than achievement - provides framework for sustained spiritual practice during difficult periods. The integration of contemplative Christianity with contemporary spirituality demonstrates how traditional mystical practices can address modern psychological and social challenges. The group's commitment to vulnerability and mutual support models healthy spiritual community during polarized times. This conversation ultimately presents kenosis not as abstract theology but as lived practice for navigating personal crisis and social division through spiritual transformation. Whether one accepts the specific theological framework or not, the underlying principles of surrender, community support, and service orientation offer valuable approaches to contemporary challenges.

Miroslav Volf critiques ambition, love of status, and superiority, offering a Christ-shaped vision of agapic love and humble glory.“'And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?' If you received everything you have as a gift and if your existence as the recipient is also a gift, all ground for boasting is gone. Correspondingly, striving for superiority over others, seeking to make oneself better than others and glorying in that achievement, is possible only as an existential lie. It is not just a lie that all strivers and boasters tell themselves. More troublingly, that lie is part of the ideology that is the wisdom of a certain twisted and world-negating form of the world.”In Lecture 5, the final of his Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf offers a theological and moral vision that critiques the dominant culture of ambition, superiority, and status. Tracing the destructive consequences of Epithumic desire and the relentless “race of honors,” Volf contrasts them with agapic love—God's self-giving, unconditional love. Drawing from Paul's Christ hymn in Philippians 2 and philosophical insights from Rousseau, Nietzsche, and Max Scheler, Volf reveals the radical claim that striving for superiority is not merely harmful but fundamentally false. Through Christ's self-emptying, even to the point of death, we glimpse a redefinition of glory that subverts all worldly hierarchies. The love that saves is the love that descends. In a world ravaged by competition, inequality, and devastation, Volf calls for fierce, humble, and world-affirming love—a love that mends what can be mended, and makes the world home again.Episode Highlights“Striving for superiority over others… is possible only as an existential lie.”“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“God cancels the standards of the kind of aspiration whose goal is superiority.”“This is neither self-denial nor denial of the world. This is love for the world at work.”Show NotesAgapic love vs. Epithemic desire and self-centered striving“Striving for superiority… is possible only as an existential lie.”Paul's hymn in Philippians 2 and the “race of shame”Rousseau: striving for superiority gives us “a multitude of bad things”Nietzsche's critique of Christianity and pursuit of powerMax Scheler: downward love, not upward striving“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”Self-love as agapic: “I am entirely a gift to myself.”Raphael's Transfiguration and the chaos belowDemon possession as symbolic of systemic and spiritual powerlessness“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“The world is the home of God and humans together.”God's love affirms the dignity of even the most unlovable creatureLove as spontaneous overflow, not moral condescension“Mending what can be mended… mourning with those who mourn and dancing with those who rejoice.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

The Calling to Reorient the Self How can the sacred be recovered in a world fractured by autonomy and fragmentation? In this deeply personal episode of Kainos on The Lectern, recorded during a session hosted by Alexander Beiner on Kainos, John Vervaeke shares reflections from his recent pilgrimage across Europe—what he calls the Philosophical Silk Road. Weaving through sacred conversations and historic locations, he explores profound ideas like theosis, theoria, and voluntary necessity, inviting listeners into a lived philosophy of sacred participation. From Istanbul to Rome to Amsterdam, each location becomes a catalyst for insight and inner transformation. Vervaeke challenges the Enlightenment's idolization of autonomy and points toward a new possibility: a spirituality of finite transcendence, rooted in embodied knowing and dialogical belonging. This episode offers a raw and unfiltered account of mystical experience, intellectual shift, and spiritual disorientation—all in service of rediscovering what it means to be in contact with reality, in its fullest, most sacred form.

Summer at City As the Father Has Sent Me… John 20:21 “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” Philippians 2:5-8 “Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross.” “Kenosis is not a surrender of the divine attributes; kenosis defined as self-giving or self-donation is the premier expression of God's nature – of God's love and grace – seen most clearly on the Cross.”… Bradley Jersak Philippians 2:9-11 “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” We bear the nature of God when we choose not to grasp for power and control but instead choose to empty ourselves and live in obedience and in surrender to God. “God's command was not about putting us in our place but, rather, lifting us to the image of the divine. He yields power to us by giving us the dignity of choice. Then by consenting to lay that power down, we become like Him!” Jersak adds, “What if kenosis – self-emptying power, self-giving love and radical servant-hood – expresses the very nature of God!”… Bradley Jersak That's how he is sending us – in obedience and full surrender. “Self-emptying power, self-giving love and radical servant-hood.” Exodus 34:6-7 “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin” Jesus is among us as a servant, not lording it over others, leading by example, humble, as a child, as the younger, as the last, as the least, using no force, no selfish ambition, making for himself no reputation, he was human so we too can be authentically human, obedient, even to death on the cross, experiencing resurrection. This is the nature of Jesus and as the Father has sent Jesus, He is sending us. (Gayle Erwin, The Jesus Style) John 20:22 “‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.' And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.'”

The Name above all names is Jesus! And that name is to be obeyed, revered, and honored. At the end of the day, we carry that name everywhere we go. Of all the names of God, that name is the name that has the most impact on our souls for eternity. Praise be to God's name, the name above all names!Life Group Questions1. Begin your time by discussing your Rule of Life and how that is going at this time of the year. If others don't have a Rule of Life, see the attachment to help them begin to create one.  2.  Read Philippians 2:1-9. Pay specific attention to verses 5-9 and discuss all the attributes of Jesus. This is called the Kenosis passage (emptying).3. Make a list of things you can speak the name of Jesus over. Center your heart on Jesus and think of those things. When you think of those things, just say the name of Jesus over them.  4. Pray for one another in groups of 2-3 to end your time together.  

 This conversation marks the beginning of a deeper inquiry for Dr. John Vervaeke: What if pilgrimage is not a retreat from the world, but a return to what is most real? Joined by Ethan Hsieh, John explicates his intent to preregister his intellectual and philosophical orientation before beginning his metaphorical pilgrimage. Drawing on parallels with psychology's preregistration practice, John's aim is to document his internal state at various stages of his journey. The conversation delves deep into the concepts of theoria, theophany, and theosis, advocating for a pilgrimage that is not merely a lecture series but a 'meta-noetic passage.' The dialogue anticipates John's encounters with historical figures, sages, and the individuals who embody and interpret their legacy. John expresses his openness to how these encounters might transform him, acknowledging the potential psychological and physiological challenges involved. The dialogue also touches upon themes of the imaginal and the importance of community and fellowship in the pilgrimage process. Ethan contributes by drawing connections to broader themes of perception and philosophical inquiry. The conversation culminates in the hope that this philosophical and spiritual journey will not only deepen John's understanding but also inspire others to embark on their own explorative journeys. —- Notes: (00:00) Introduction to the Philosophical Silk Road (00:30) The Concept of Preregistration in Philosophy (01:00) Defining the Pilgrimage and Its Purpose (02:00) Introducing Ethan and the Dialogical Approach (04:30) Exploring the Original Orientation (05:30) The Challenge of Propositional Tyranny (07:00) Theoria and Theophany: Renewing the Senses (13:30) Meta Noetic Passage and Pilgrimage (20:00) Engaging with Sages and Geographical Perspectives (24:00) Personal Challenges and Psychological Defects (31:30) The Fellowship of the Pilgrimage (33:00) Interlocutors and Sages: A Deeper Dive (54:00) Introduction to Theosis (55:00) Historical Continuity and Henosis (56:00) Henosis and Kenosis in Christian Mysticism (57:30) The Paradox of Self-Transcendence (01:00:30) Theosis and Inner Athea (01:05:30) Personal Reflections and Burnout (01:09:00) The Concept of Unbinding (01:11:00) Non-Theism and Theism (01:25:00) Pilgrimage and Transformation (01:38:30) Reflections on Personal Growth (01:48:00) Concluding Thoughts and Future Questions If you would like to donate purely out of goodwill to support John's work, please consider joining our Patreon.

Welcome to another transformative episode of the Daily Living for Christ podcast! Today, we take a deep dive into one of the most challenging yet essential aspects of spiritual growth—surrendering control.What does it mean to truly let go and trust God? How does surrender lead us to deeper discipleship, wholeness, and spiritual transformation? In this episode, we explore the biblical foundation of surrender, from Jesus' call to deny ourselves (Matthew 16:24-26) to His example of complete obedience to the Father.We'll discuss:✅ Kenosis—the self-emptying of control for the sake of divine love✅ How surrender is the key to true discipleship and union with God✅ The difference between surrender and spiritual death—letting go willingly vs. being freed from what no longer has power over us✅ How the false self clings to control, while the true self rests in God's love✅ Why surrendering the need to control outcomes leads to deeper peace and spiritual growthThrough powerful metaphors—like the seed that must fall to the ground and die to produce new life—this conversation will challenge you to examine where control is hindering your growth in Christ.Are you ready to step into the fullness of who God created you to be?

A discussion about the Kenotic heresy.

A discussion about the christian life and the kenotic heresy

Kyle and Chris wrap us season 4 with a contemplative episode. We have a strange discussion about religious sacrifice, focusing on the Christian notion that you should give yourself to God. We wonder what it means to 'give ones life to God' and contemplate suicide as an act of worship. We go from Kenosis to the Buddhist monk Luang Pho Daeng who died in the act of meditation. We sprinkle in a bit of ancient Egyptian mythology and ice the cake with discussion of demon possession and Jungian archetypes.  Enjoy ;)

Welcome to another transformative episode of the Daily Living for Christ podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of kenosis—the self-emptying of personal power and control—as a pathway to true wholeness and security in Christ.What does it mean to surrender our need for esteem, affection, security, and survival to God? How can we release our grip on power and control to live fully in His presence? Through the lens of Scripture, we explore how Jesus modeled this radical humility, contrasting His self-emptying with Adam's choices in Genesis.In this conversation, you'll discover:✅ The biblical foundation of kenosis and why it's essential for Christian wholeness✅ How Jesus surrendered power and control, finding His security in God alone✅ The contrast between Adam's choices and Christ's invitation to self-emptying love✅ Practical ways to recognize and release internal struggles for power, esteem, and control✅ The role of humility in holding space for God's unconditional loveThis episode will challenge you to reflect on where you may be seeking fulfillment in the wrong places and invite you to trust God more deeply.

Let's talk about how Jesus was simultaneously 100% God and yet 100% man. Did baby Jesus need his diapers changed? Did Jesus cut himself and bleed when he had a carpentry accident? Was Jesus tempted? Did he have anger? Did He have full knowledge and power during his time spent on earth?

En la cruz Jesús encuentra su trono de gloria, desde donde reina y gobierna a todos aquellos que le quieran seguir, que estén dispuestos a dar su vida, a mantenerse lejos de cuanto los aparta de Dios y a cumplir siempre la voluntad del Padre.
