The Daily Drama is Killing You More Than You Think

Muchness, Manyness, Hurry, Noise and Crowds

Soul work is deep work. And most aren't up for the challenge. What gets in the way? Anything that increases personality. Without reflection, it is impossible to let the true-self emerge. In this episode, we talk about something like this, sort of.

Heaven is a Four-Letter Word.

How has our view of the after-life left us feeling strangely unsatisfied? Does then have anything to do with now? I think the Christian message promotes more continuity between the two existences than we may realize. What are we subverting today? Heaven!

It's just you, with you, with you.

I have a self. And then I have another self. And those two selves are in relationship with each other. But that's not even the most fascinating or important thing about us. And what does the most fascinating and important thing about us have to do with God being in relationship with God's self? Let's explore this together!

Ruminations on obRay ellBay

Criticism is overrated. Curiosity is underrated.
Last week the Mrs. and I journeyed to Nashville to see and hear the accused heretic Rob Bell. What do you do with new ideas? New information? What do we do with people we disagree with? In order to push through our current paradigms, perhaps we need a dose of the heretical.

Man, Myth, and Meaning Act 2

We go further down the rabbit hole of meaning and story with Mike Sherman, discussing the awakening affect of being in the story as opposed to staying on the outside in analysis. We give nods to Flannery O'Connor, Tolkien and Marilynne Robinson.

Man, Myth, and Meaning Act 1

Man does not live on statements and statistics alone, but on every story that comes from the mouth of the Divine. Mike Sherman joins us on this episode. We expose bogus storylines. We discuss the intersection of meaning and narrative. We listen to what is revealed in the human longing for some cohesion in our experience of the absurd.

The human heart will do anything to avoid walking through the valley of grief. However, as we all know, experiencing the heights of joy requires descending to the depths first. In 2017, Kyle Bradley plumbed those depths. In this episode, he shares his experiences and his poetry with us.

Failure is My Guru

How can failure take us further than success? In this episode, I sit down with special guest Conor VanBuskirk (Enneagram type 5, Founder of Upshot Coffee) to discuss how the stress of maintaining success is often at the expense of health and core values. We examine the role of ego and the search for love in the valley of failure and struggle.

What the What

We often meet invitations to growth with deep resistance. We don't willingly choose upheaval, disequilibration, or dismantlement. But that is what it takes. In this episode, What the What, we take a look at the subversive nature of God's change in our lives.

"to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." e. e. cummings

What the Why

Why are you here? What unique contribution can you alone make toward the common good? In this episode we discuss the particulars of why we launched The Subversive and let that lead us into the universal questions of passion, calling, vocation and why it's so crucial to live from those places of our heart.
