    Re-Post: “Heavenly Forces” - Episode 2 in the series, “Heaven and Hell”

    In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah continue their conversation on the mysteries of heaven and hell by exploring what it means for Christ to be “the Lord of the heavenly forces upon earth.” Beginning with John 8:12 and the image of Christ as the light of the world, they consider the ancient experience of the skies, sun, moon, stars, and seasons as living revelations of divine activity. The conversation moves through Psalm 19, ancient sacred sites aligned with the sun, the Hebrew movement away from worshiping created things, and the Christian understanding that the heavenly forces have come to earth through Christ. Patrick and Jonah reflect on how these forces are no longer simply “out there” in the heavens, but are meant to awaken within human beings as light, wisdom, love, and moral strength. Together they ask how human beings can learn to shine without burning out, how community can become a constellation of light, and how Golgotha becomes not only an event in history, but a living reality within us.

    Re-Post “Heaven and Hell” - Episode 1 in the series, “Heaven and Hell”

    This (northern hemisphere) summer, we are reposting our September 2023 series on Heaven and Hell. In this opening episode, Patrick and Jonah explore what Christianity means by heaven, hell, earth, sky, and the “heavenly forces.” They ask how modern consciousness can recover these ancient images as living realities, not merely mythological leftovers. The conversation moves through the Ascension, the Creed, Christ as Lord of the Heavenly Forces on Earth, and the soul’s experience of longing, grace, scarcity, blessing, despair, and freedom.

  3. Salvation & the Second Death, Part 2, episode 15 in the series 'Salvation'

    7. Juni

    Salvation & the Second Death, Part 2, episode 15 in the series 'Salvation'

    In this final episode before the summer break, Patrick and Jonah return to the mystery of salvation and the “second death.” Together, they explore freedom, judgment, the resurrection body, the soul as bride, Christ as bridegroom, and the danger of becoming too bound to what is passing away. Rather than presenting salvation as membership in the right religious group, this conversation asks what it means to freely follow Christ as the living source of a new creation.

  4. Salvation & the Second Death, Part 1, episode 14 in the series 'Salvation'

    Salvation & the Second Death, Part 1, episode 14 in the series 'Salvation'

    What is the “second death,” and why does the communion service speak of Christ’s body and blood as preserving the life of the soul? In this first part of the season’s closing conversation, Jonah and Patrick explore the soul’s entanglement with death, the images of Babylon and the New Jerusalem in Revelation, and communion as the gift of Christ’s own death-and-resurrection life. Salvation is not simply moral imitation, but receiving the healing and strength we cannot manufacture for ourselves. Ask us a question here!

  5. The Church, Cosmic Christianity & the Circle of Salvation, episode 13 in the series 'Salvation'

    The Church, Cosmic Christianity & the Circle of Salvation, episode 13 in the series 'Salvation'

    In this episode, Jonah and Patrick continue their exploration of the question of inclusion and exclusion. If Christ’s presence is universal, if he has entered into the life of all humanity, what does it mean for each person to recognize him freely? What does it mean to confess him, to commune with him, and to receive his life without turning salvation into a club, a boundary marker, or a ticket purchased through the right words? The conversation moves through the Eucharist, the image of the church, the mystery of the “true” Christian community, and the difference between an earthly institution and the much larger spiritual body of those who come to know the healing power of Christ. Patrick offers the image of Christ as the spiritual sun: not one star among many, but the source whose forces make inner moral life, transformation, and resurrection possible. From there, the question becomes not simply “Who is in?” but “How does each human being come to recognize the one whose light is already shining?” By the end, the episode rests near the road to Emmaus: the disciples have already known Jesus, yet they do not immediately recognize the risen Christ walking beside them. Recognition takes time, unfolding, bread, blessing, and the gradual awakening of the heart. And perhaps this is one of the deep questions of salvation in our time: why does it matter that we come to recognize him consciously, freely, and in love? Ask us a question here!

    Confessing Christ, episode 12 in the series 'Salvation'

    Is conscious confession of Christ necessary for salvation? Moving through the liturgy of the Christian Community, the Gospel image of the sheep and goats, the writings of Paul, and Christ’s own descriptions of lordship and service, the conversation wrestles with the mystery of how love, recognition, identity, and freedom intertwine. Can someone participate in Christ without knowing Him consciously? What changes when the human “I” freely recognizes Christ and says, “you are my Lord”? Along the way, Jonah and Patrick explore the difference between simply acting lovingly and consciously linking one’s identity with Christ, the paradox of a Lord who serves rather than dominates, and the idea that true salvation may involve not only the healing of the soul, but the transformation and fulfillment of the self itself. Drawing on the stories of Thomas, Paul’s encounter on the road to Damascus, and the image of Babylon in Revelation, this episode asks what it means to freely surrender to a love greater than oneself—and whether confession is less about exclusion and more about the self becoming fully whole.

    The Christ Offering, episode 11 in the series 'Salvation'

    This week, we begin a new movement in our exploration of salvation—turning from the Trinity Epistle toward the mystery of the Eucharist. What does it mean that true salvation is connected not to self-preservation, but to self-offering? Drawing on the Gospel of John and the imagery of Christ’s path through death, we explore how love, sacrifice, and participation in this offering might transform our understanding of protection, redemption, and what it means to truly live.

    Sight and Insight, Episode 10 in the series 'Salvation'

    This week’s conversation brings the series on salvation to a close by turning toward a subtle but searching question: what does it mean to truly see? Moving through the threefold path of Father, Son, and Spirit, Jonah and Patrick explore how human consciousness can shift—from isolation, into participation in a greater Being; from passive existence, into co-creation; and finally into a life of prayer that seeks healing through the Spirit. Along the way, they ask whether salvation might be understood not only as something we receive, but as something that unfolds through how we perceive, know, and respond to the world around us. In the final movement, the focus sharpens on sight and insight—on the relationship between seeing, knowing, and judging. What happens when our vision is clouded, even as we become more aware of darkness? And what might it mean to offer even our thinking itself—to allow our knowing to be transformed, received, and illuminated by something greater than our own minds? Ask us a question here!
