    Quantum Theology: A Conversation With Keith Giles, Mo Thomas, Nish Dubashia, And Brandy Anderson

    This Quoircast Podcast episode is brought to you by The Heretic Happy Hour podcast. In this episode we chat with Keith Giles, Mo Thomas, Nish Dubashia, and Brandy Anderson Keith Giles is the best-selling author of the Jesus Un series. He has appeared on CNN, USA Today, BuzzFeed, and John Fugelsang's "Tell Me Everything." Keith and his wife currently reside in El Paso. You can connect with Keith on: Facebook     Instagram Mo Thomas has been told on numerous occasions that he should stick with crashing cars for the auto industry (which he's done for 30 years in the Detroit, MI area), instead of attempting to write about theology. This seems like good advice, as he has no seminary degree, limited ministry experience, no impressive titles that lend any credibility . . . and engineers aren't often known for their writing. He decided to write this book anyway. In fact, NOT writing it wasn't an option. You can connect with Mo on: Facebook     Instagram Nish Dubashia, Born in London (England) in 1966 (13th March @ 9:47 AM, so Taurus ascendant and Jyeshta Nakshatra), Nishad spent his childhood absorbed in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, and started receiving formal spiritual training from Theravadin Buddhist monks and a Chinese Taoist master in 1984. With the exception of a few days spent in hospital in 2008, Nishad has maintained some kind of spiritual practice based on those early foundations every day since then. The core of his practice at the current time is Buddhist meditation supplemented by deity and guru yoga. You can connect with Nish on: Facebook Brandy Anderson is a Spiritual Director, Jungian Coach, and the author of Through the Veil: A Glimpse into the Afterlife, which received a Silver Nautilus Award for its contribution to spiritual exploration.
