In this episode of Pursuing Faith, Dominic explores John 8, and the words Jesus spoke to a woman who was full of shame. He said to her, “neither do I condemn you, go your way and sin no more."When we are in a place of shame, the natural response is to hide our truest self or to push people away. For example, in the book of Genesis, Adam and Eve ate of a tree and realized they were ‘naked and ashamed' and immediately hid from God. Shame always causes isolation, because intimacy is the risk that our shame will be exposed. In the words of Bene Brown, “Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.”But here's the good news: because of grace, we don't have to live in shame anymore. In a world that continuously lies about our identity, that loves to remind us of all that we're not — not rich enough, smart enough, good-looking enough, or famous enough—God says: You are mine. And you always have been. Nothing can change that. You are not defined by the mistakes you've made but by the grace of God. Links:www.pursuingfaith.org

When doubt creeps into the creases of our faith, it can feel like navigating a labyrinth without a map. Dominic Dohn, founder of Pursuing Faith and author of "When Faith Fails," joins us to light the path through that maze, discussing his deeply personal and scholarly journey from Oxford to the pulpit, and now to the page. We talk about the raw edges of writing authentically on faith, the way our darkest questions can forge the strongest beliefs, and how sharing our own stories can validate the experiences of others grappling with their faith.Through the art of storytelling, Dominic reveals the secret ingredients that make a faith-based book resonate with its audience—a harmonious blend of personal anecdotes, theological insights, and scriptural wisdom.

In this special Christmas episode, Dominic shares a message from the gospel of John. What's unique about this gospel is that, unlike the other gospels, John doesn't give us the facts about Christmas. For example, there is no mention of the manger, the star or the wise men. Instead, he digs past the details and shares what Christmas means — not only theologically, but for our lives personally.Augustine, the early church theologian once wrote: “Man's maker was made man that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother's breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that Truth might be accused of false witnesses, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die.” The meaning of Christmas is unearthed when the truth and beauty of Jesus incarnation is considered.

Have you lost your sense of wonder? Are there things, places, opportunities, or people that, in your stress and distraction, you've looked past? Have you failed to see the beauty right in front of you? In the hope of big happiness, are you missing the small joys? In this episode of Pursuing Faith, Dominic Done takes some time to reflect on the practice of gratitude. In the midst of our busy life, God invites us to slow down and fix our thoughts upon him. Gratitude is the art of taming our frenetic, edacious minds to appreciate the wonder of life as it is right now. www.pursuingfaith.org
In this episode of Pursuing Faith, Dominic teaches on the story of the Samaritan woman from John 4. We're surrounded by a world that fuels our discontent. Alluring advertisements, temptations, distractions, materialism and consumerism all offer the promise of satisfaction, but only leave us more restless than before. In the face of superficiality, Jesus says: “If you drink of these waters you will thirst again, but if you drink of the water I give, you will never thirst.” As the late Timothy Keller wrote, “if we look to some created thing to give us the meaning, hope, and happiness that only God can give, it will eventually fail to deliver and break our hearts.”Pursuing Faith is a listener-supported non-profit ministry.

Lewis once said that theology is a type of map - that instead of being merely analyzed from a distance - ought to be used in the moment by moment trenches of our humanity.

AW Tozer once wrote: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God."In this episode, Dominic shares a talk he gave in Oregon, unpacking the topic of God's character and nature.

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
Dominic is the founder of Pursuing Faith and the author of a new book Your Longing Has a Name: Come Alive to the Story You Were Made For where he uses 2 Peter 1:5-8, the exact verses we are mediating on, to show us how our souls can and should flourish in difficult times. Dominic has a master's in theology from the University of Oxford and has served as a pastor, a professor and a missionary. Take a few minutes to meditate on 2 Peter 1:5-8 and then tune into this interview to hear where God led Dominic. Some highlights from our conversation: How God led Dominic to write an entire book on 4 verses of Scripture. What flourishing looks like according to Jesus – and how it's very different than what the world says flourishing is. What Peter means when he tells us to, “make every effort.” What goodness is, according to Scripture, and how we can find goodness in our lives. How Pursuing Faith is helping those who are deconstructing. (If you know someone who is deconstructing or has walked away from the faith all together, this ministry will be a gift to you.) You can find Dominic at www.pursuingfaith.org Grab a copy of his excellent book, Your Longing Has a Name, here Find Dominic on Facebook Instagram @dominicdone Twitter: DominicDone The exact verses we discuss are: 2 Peter 1:5-8, NIV 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If you would like to go deeper into the life of Peter, this series coincides with Jodie's Bible study: Journey: A Study of Peter for Stumbling Toward Jesus's Extravagant Grace. The exact verses read in the podcast are: 2 Peter 1:5-8, NIV 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In this episode, Dominic gives an update about the non-profit, Pursuing Faith, and an opportunity to minister to Ukrainian refugees.He then unpacks 2 Peter 1 as a roadmap towards a flourishing life. Peter writes: “Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.”The first gift on this list of virtues is ‘goodness.' But what does Peter mean by that? What does that look like when our soul's are fatigued or gasping for air? Dominic suggests that adding to our faith goodness means intentionally creating space for intimacy with God.Books Mentioned in the Episode:Your Longing Has A Name by Dominic Done Website:PursuingFaith.orgWe'd love to hear from you! info@pursuingfaith.org

This week on Real Talk with Rachael I'm talking with author Dominic Done about his latest book Your Longing Has a Name. Dominic Done is the founder of Pursuing Faith and author of When Faith Fails. With a master's in theology from the University of Oxford, he has served as a pastor in Portland, Oregon; North Carolina; and Hawaii. Dominic has also taught English for companies in Europe, lectured in theology and history at various Christian colleges, worked as a radio DJ, and lived as a missionary in Vanuatu and Mexico. Key Points from Our Conversation: In the Bible, flourishing is directly related to participation in life with God. Something is happening in our culture on a soul level that is broken. We are languishing. We are seeking truth and purpose and as Christians, we have the opportunity to speak into those souls. "What lies beneath languishing is longing." Society tends to think of the soul as what we become when our bodies die, but scripture says that the soul is the entirety of our being that longs for God. A flourishing soul is in an intimate relationship with Him. Healing begins spiritually, mentally, and physically by taking a pause to breathe deeply. Something happens in the Lord's presence that renews our souls. He restores our breath. It's difficult to receive soul rest because we are inundated with so many distractions. God wants us to embody a deep soul rest - a shalom. "The deeper you breathe, the more you'll heal." Our technology is giving us neuro overload. We cannot process information as quickly as it's being given to us. We have to build into our lives the spiritual practice of setting boundaries with our phones so that our souls can heal. When we put on a mask as a means to defend ourselves, it creates a disconnect within us between our soul and our role. In time, our soul suffocates. We must practice living a life without walls. That means confronting the things that are hindering us in order to create synchronicity with the soul. Our "shadow side" is the part of us that remains broken, but a shadow is proof of substance. To confront our shadows we can't just confess the sin, we need to determine why we struggle with the sin to begin with. Self-control isn't just resisting harmful things, it's addressing the deeper longing that motivates the behavior. Releasing your burdens to God needs to be a daily practice, but as you give Him your cares and burdens, He'll restore your soul.

How do we deal with seasons of doubt? How do we wrestle with the big questions of suffering and pain within the context of God's never-ending love and come out with a firmer spiritual foundation and a stronger sense of God's grace and work in our lives? Can we even admit our doubt, and if so, is it productive to our lives as Christians?In this episode, Eddie and Chris are joined by Dominic Done, author, pastor, teacher, and founder of Pursuing Faith. Dominic has gone through his own seasons of doubt, and openly shares his journey in his most recent book, When Faith Fails: Finding God in the Shadow of Doubt. He believes that we can not only push through doubt and step into a deeper faith, but we can and should come along side others in their seasons of doubt and struggle. If we are honest with our pain and willing to open ourselves to the grace of Jesus Christ through community, we grow as followers of Jesus.Dominic earned his Master's Degree in theology from the University of Oxford and has served as a pastor in Oregon, North Carolina, and Hawaii.

Deconstruction is a growing trend in religious and philosophical circles. While many Christians have begun to address deconstruction, we don't often engage with deconstructionist ideas directly. In this episode, Aaron and Brian are joined by Dominic Done, author of When Faith Fails: Finding God In the Shadow of Doubt and founder of a ministry to skeptics and doubters called Pursuing Faith. Aaron, Brian, and Dominic respond directly to deconstructionists memes to answer questions coming directly from people wrestling with deconstruction. Throughout this conversation, Aaron, Brian, and Dominic seek to find the valuable elements of deconstruction without it leading to abandoning the fundamentals of Christianity. We hope this episode encourages you to think critically and respond lovingly to deconstructionist concepts.
