When the World Breaks: Jason Adam Miller
I hope you'll appreciate this conversation with Jason Adam Miller about his new book on Jesus' most paradoxical and misunderstood words at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. I loved this book, When the World Breaks. I've not read anything so personal, rich and thought provoking on the Beatitudes. It's worth your time, especially if you're interested in a way of being, more than a way of believing, a way that might well upend our frames and call us into a deeper life. Jason Adam Miller is a pastor in South Bend and someone worth paying attention to (www.jasonadammiller.com) Enjoy!

The Journey
Here's another shorter podcast in my series, where I turn to poems, prayer, passages that have been important to me. I hope you'll hear your own hints and guesses. This week, we turn to Mary Oliver's classic, The Journey. Enjoy!

When We Are Lost
I'd like to explore the possibilities, the postures, and the terrain, of feeling lost, a certain kind of lostness. Rather than being prescriptive, I hope to just describe a little of what it's like, and a few hints and guesses from the poets and mystics, that I hope you'll find meaningful, and possibly helpful. Enjoy.

Church in the East
Here's another shorter mediation on Rilke's passage about leaving home, about following a calling, the cost and terrible possibilities hidden in walking toward the East, toward a church forgotten, a sacred place ignored. Enjoy.

Coleman's Bed
For my 100th episode, I'm introducing a new dimension of the podcast, shorter mediations based on poems, passages, and prayers. Thanks for all your support, can't believe I've made 100 episodes. I hope you'll hear some hints and guesses in this David Whyte poem, Coleman's Bed, or in my own reflections. Stay tuned for more shorter episodes, as well as my longer format contributions and interviews. Special thanks to Jonas Dobson, my son, for the music. Enjoy!
Customer Reviews
Food for thought, and outstanding podcast.
Kent invites the wanderer, the one who's worldview has collapsed or is collapsing through ancient wisdom and knowledge to be at home in the question. He does so by
wrestling with life through the tales of our Judaeo-Christian history. A history that has shaped many off us westerner way off understanding and doing life.
I thank you Kent for your work and look for to see some dreams been born as we try to figure out how to live into our story alone and together.
