    Mike’s Rumblings 12-06-24

    This is an audio version of Mike Murphy‘s Friday rumblings. This is a regular post on Facebook that I’ve turned into a podcast. I decided Mike’s words needed a wider audience. You may agree or disagree with what he says, but there is certainly much food for thought contained here.

    Phileena Heuertz-episode 136

    Phileena Heuertz joins me this week on Faith Conversations. She is founding partner of Gravity, a Center for Contemplative Activism. She is a spiritual director, yoga instructor, speaker, and retreat guide. We talk about what a pilgrimage of the soul looks like. As we look at Phileena’s book Pilgrimage of a Soul, we look at what our awakening might look like as well as some of the darkness we can face while on the journey of transformation. We wrap our time by talking about what Union with God really looks like.

    John Lustrea Movie Conversation-episode 135

    This week on the podcast, John Lustrea and I discuss and use some spiritual practices as part of the discussion of a movie. The movie choice might seem unlikely, but we chose—actually John chose—the movie Moana. And he suggested we look at the movie through the lens of Exploration. A fruitful and substantive conversation ensued. We might even influence you to go watch the movie. I hope we do.

    Lori Neff & Anita Lustrea-episode 134

    I am delighted to have Lori Neff back on Faith Conversations this week. We are rolling out a book club. Both Lori and I have had numerous people email and ask if we would consider starting the book club up again. Dr. Rosalie de Rosset, our previous book club leader, is too busy currently. So we thought we’d tackle it ourselves.   The first book we are going to read is When Mockingbirds Sing by Billy Coffey. The first person to email me and agree to either be on the podcast discussion of the book OR write out thoughts about the book for us to read will get a copy of the book mailed to them. Email me at producer@anitalustrea.com and make sure to include your mailing address. As I talked with Lori she also mentioned a book she is reading currently, Scenes From a Village Life by Amos Oz. After bookclub talk I went on a little monologue and talked a bit about some of the ways I get fed. Podcasts are one way. Two favorites are The RobCast and The Bible For Normal People. I also talked about Vicky Beeching and her story, and her book that just released titled Undivided.

    Mike Murphy-episode 133

    So much is happening in our world that I felt I needed the grounding presence of Rev. Mike Murphy on the podcast. We read some emails and respond, we talk about prayer, and we take time to talk about the recent suicides that have captured the attention of journalists and the world. Even as we mentioned Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, we acknowledged the many who will never make it into the news cycle. Suicide is epidemic in our society. We talk about the questions it raises and how we can combat it. Books mentioned today: Prayer by Richard Foster, The Land Between by Jeff Manion, and Grieving a Suicide: a loved one’s search for comfort, answers, and hope by Albert Y. Hsu. Follow Mike on Facebook. He’s not much of a Twitter guy, but occasionally he tweets @murphsplace.

    Diana Butler Bass-episode 132

    This week on the podcast I have John Lustrea as a co-host instead of a guest. Diana Butler Bass has written a thoughtful book titled, Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks. If you’ve not heard of Diana before, she is the award-winning author of 10 books on American religion. She holds a Ph.D. in religious studies from Duke University, has taught at the college and graduate level and is currently an independent scholar. She is a popular speaker at conferences and universities and churches across North America. We had a delightful time as she unpacked a word I thought I knew a lot about until Diana opened my eyes.

    Melinda Schmidt & John Lustrea-episode 131

    Joining me on the podcast this week is long-time friend and former colleague, Melinda Schmidt, and as moderator to our discussion, my son John Lustrea. Melinda is currently working for Wheaton Grad School, and has an active blog called The Reinvention Experiment that you might want to bookmark and check regularly. John Lustrea is Education Specialist at The National Museum of Civil War Medicine, Frederick, Maryland. On this episode, we read and respond to listener email. One email, in particular, had push back and raised interesting questions. As we explore the heart of that email, we share helpful ideas on how to disagree agreeably.
