With declining church attendance and shifting values, there's no denying that our culture's posture toward Christianity has changed. Some say America is now “post-Christian,” but author Aaron Renn believes it is downright “anti-Christian.” In a recent NY Times profile, Renn explains why he thinks Christianity now occupies a “negative world,” and why the winsome approach of leaders like Tim Keller should be abandoned for more aggressive tactics. Then, Phil talks with legendary musician, songwriter, and producer Charlie Peacock about his new memoir, “Roots in Rhythm: A Life in Music.” Also this week, a leaked memo reveals the real impact of Trump's foreign aid cuts and immigration policy, and what exhibits would you add to the Museum of Failure?   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/124128840/   Ad-free Version of this episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/124154267/ 0:00 - Show Starts   2:35 - Theme Song   2:00 - Sponsor - World Relief - Visit https://worldrelief.org/STAND to join The Path to support vulnerable communities around the world!   3:10 - Sponsor - Bushnell University - Equip yourself to be transformative in your community!

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and emotional experiences outlined in the early pages of the book. Reflecting on the challenges many face, Joe discusses the importance of discovering personal spirituality and understanding that the answers lie within.“But don't assume they know everything about you to inform you about your life purpose. That's nonsense. The answers for you are in you. Does that make sense? So our own conception, however inadequate, was sufficient to make the approach and effect the contact with Him. It is my responsibility to acknowledge the knock. Now that I understand the various ways this power has tried to encounter me and awaken me, it is my responsibility to search diligently within and try and improve that relationship.”Joe's discussion sheds light on these universal challenges while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process. This session emphasizes the importance of reaching out for help and the power of the support found within recovery communities.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Welcome back to our exploration of spiritual growth within the recovery process. In this session, we delve into the concept of God not just as an object of our devotion, but as a subject of our personal experiences. We discuss how our own conception of a higher power, no matter how initially inadequate it may seem, is sufficient to begin establishing a deep, meaningful connection. This video highlights the significance of willingness and personal acceptance of a ‘spirit of the universe' to gain new power and direction. As we continue on this path, we'll explore how spiritual openness can transform our lives, providing a broad, inclusive realm that is open to all seekers. Join us as we discuss the importance of taking simple yet profound steps towards spiritual enrichment, overcoming past prejudices, and discovering the true power within. This journey shifts our dependence from external to divine sources, marking a path filled with growth and deeper consciousness.

Becoming spiritual doesn't create a divide that separates us from the rest of the world, but rather generates within us a compassion for the poor and oppressed. Spirituality that does not result in social activism is selfish and social action that is not infused with God's Spirit will leave you disillusioned and burned out. Tony shares thoughts on how an evangelical can marry both their faith and social action.

Preaching for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Mary Anne Sladich-Lantz offers a reflection on healing: "Certainly, each one of us could use a dose of healing in our lives. You know where that is inside of yourself. Our whole world needs healing, too. Brokenness and division is everywhere. Can we take the very human interaction between Jesus and Simon's mother-in-law as a model of how to be a healing presence wherever brokenness resides." Mary Anne Sladich-Lantz has been a leader of Mission and Formation for Providence St. Joseph Health for over 25 years. In her various roles within Providence St. Joseph Health, she has worked with leaders, physicians and all caregivers on personal, spiritual and professional development. Born and raised in Anaconda, MT, she graduated from the University of Providence with a BA in Sociology/Psychology. She holds a Master's degree in Theology and Personal Spirituality from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. Mary Anne and her husband Reggie enjoy the great outdoors and the big sky of Montana.

Original airdate: April 6, 2021 Religion has evolved a lot over the past few decades. People increasingly feel disillusioned with or detached from organized religion, yet they still long for a rich inner life defined by purpose, meaning and reflection.  My guest today, Thomas Moore, says that we don't have to live an exclusively materialistic and rational lifestyle and can develop our personal spiritual style inside or outside formal religion. Thomas is the author of 24 books, including the number one New York Times bestseller “Care of the Soul.” In his youth, he was a catholic monk, and later on, after receiving a PhD in religious studies, he became a university professor and a psychotherapist. He brings together spirituality, mythology, depth psychology and the arts in his work, emphasizing the importance of images and imagination. He often travels and lectures, hoping to help create a more soulful society.  Join me for this fascinating conversation, where Thomas shares his thoughts on how we can personalize religion and make it our own. He offers several conventional and unconventional pathways to access mystical experiences and integrate spirituality into everyday life.

The spiritual journey is an intimate exploration. It's a voyage that each individual embarks upon, often silently, navigating the intricate pathways of their soul. It's an endeavor without a definitive map or guidebook, and yet, its importance is paramount in understanding oneself and finding inner peace. For many, spirituality is about rituals, traditions, and practices […]

Can our relationship with God be measured solely by our attendance at the synagogue? Or is it the daily nurturing of that bond that truly matters? This episode seeks to answer these questions and more, as we ponder the profound connection between us and the divine. Highlighting my grandfather's spiritual journey in Sweden, we explore how even without a congregation, a meaningful relationship with God can still be fostered. We also delve into the role of social media in creating a false sense of validation and how it impacts our understanding of our connection with the divine.We all know that blessings are abundant - health, eyesight, clothing, and more. But how often do we pause to truly appreciate them? In this episode, we look at how Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah offer us an opportunity to express gratitude and reinforce our relationship with God. We challenge the common misconception that success is solely defined by wealth, arguing that true success is rooted in our relationships with others. Finally, we take a closer look at righteousness and wickedness, exploring how these concepts impact our relationship with God. Our choices and actions, especially those made on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, play a significant role in this relationship. As we approach Yom Kippur, we reflect on the importance of creating a sacred space that allows us to feel closer to God. This episode is a journey of spiritual exploration and we wish you all a meaningful and spiritually uplifting Yom Kippur. Tune in and join us in this exploration of faith, connection, and spirituality.*****The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

Devotion on Relationship with God, Christian Living, Personal Spirituality, Luke 6:41-42. 1 page. “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye” (Luke 6:41-42). Most of us need to have the Cadillacs of life removed from our eyes because they obscure that on which we should be focusing. It is easy to want all the fancy cars, gadgets, games, and distractions that advertisers insist we need to be cool, fit in, or just be up-to-date with everyone else.

Richard and Thomas discuss A Guide to Creating a Personal Spirituality in a Secular Culture.

We live in a time for Spiritual Awakening, the time to invite personal spirituality back to our lives. This is evident in mainstream popularity of meditation practices, vegetarianism, yoga, and new age spirituality. At a deeper level, there is also enthusiasm for the revival of ancient wisdom traditions, including shamanism and shamanic practices. Sadly, we also witness an alarming rise in mental illnesses, suicidal thoughts, and chronic unhappiness in our today's society. So, it appears that a counteracting spiritual awakening is emerging from within us, for our much-needed healing energy in the world.  This podcast is produced by Aion Farvahar, who is a  Life and Spirituality Mentor, and a Psychoshamanic and IFS Self-Leadership Practitioner.

What if no particular religion speaks to you, or if all religions have some relevance for you (pluralism)?   How could you honor and embrace the merits of following a religion, but have the freedom to pursue your own spirituality by yourself?  Join CJ Liu as she interviews Thomas Moore-spiritual writer and NY Times best-selling author of the spiritual classic “Care of the Soul” about his newest book,  A Religion of One’s Own: A Guide to Creating a Personal Spirituality in a Secular World.” Blog Post By Our Guest: A RELIGION OF ONE’S OWN A number of years ago Marianne Williamson asked me to write a chapter on the future of religion for a book she was editing. I tried, but at that time I wasn’t ready to tackle the question. Now I am. I see the world heading for a completely secular approach to life, which is to say soulless, which is to say disaster. We need a new way to be religious, a really new way. A way that honors the traditions of the past but moves on. To give you a taste of the new book, I’ve summarized its main points in a list of ten ways you can make a religion of your own. In the book I go into specifics on how to do these things. This is just a list. 1. MEDITATE: Learn a formal way of meditating, or be contemplative in nature, alone, at work, or at home. 2. LIVE ETHICALLY: Do no harm and make your life a positive contribution to humanity. Work ethically for ethical companies or organizations. Change work if necessary. At least, stay on track toward a highly moral life work. 3. LIVE RESPONSIVELY. Read the signs for who you are to be and what you are to do. 4. HAVE A DREAM PRACTICE. Dreams give you strong hints about what’s going on and how you can adjust. Without them you have no guidance but your own consciousness, which is too limited. 5. BE A MYSTIC. Expand your sense of self through art and wonder. Achieve special states of awareness. Have a greater sense of self through losing yourself. 6. BE INTIMATE WITH NATURE. Especially take daily note of the sky: sun and moon, clouds, weather, planets, stars. Learn from animals. Be astonished by geology and plant life. 7. BE A MONK OR A MONKESS. Adapt monasticism of any variety to your daily life and to the world in which you live. Spend time carefully. Read deeply. Study. Honor the book, good food and community. 8. AIM FOR BLISS. Not superficial happiness or possessions or wealth. Not entertainment. But bliss: knowing you are in the right place and doing what you are meant to do. 9. DEVELOP A PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY OF LIFE. Think about your life. Work out some principles for yourself. Don’t follow the crowd. Take the road less taken, the narrow gate, the path you see behind you. 10. LEARN FROM THE WORLD’S RELIGIONS AND SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS. You don’t have to join or believe. Find insights and methods and beautiful expressions and images. Don’t separate secular from sacred. Make your own collection of truths and art works.

In which we adore Percy and trick-or-treat with Merlin, focus within, edit a term paper, and find balance in daily living.

In which we find Percy in his various habitats, dream of Mystick, coach and drum, and begin to look within. Awww!

In which we rub Percy's belly, lose the car but find a friend, get psyched about personal spirituality coaching, and give some tips for following through on your intentions.

In which we warn of flying reptiles, a Kat dreams of turkeys, Big Wind blows, we munch some chili san carne, and the kittens sleep nearby.
