Religious Problems, Religious Medicine?
I want to explore some religious questions that have been troubling me lately, where I've gotten things wrong over the last few years, and some hints and guesses about what's calling my name; namely some very ancient invitations...worship, prayer and sacrifice. Enjoy!

The God of Wild Places: Tony Jones
We discuss Tony's new book, which is great (www.reverendhunter.com). We talk about theology, leaving the church, Tao and redemption, sacred places, and some personal things. Enjoy!

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.
Customer Reviews
Compelling and inspiring!
Really enjoying the 2 part exploration of myth and “ the father wound.” Kent explores the now cliched and is idea of “ patriarchy” through a deeper, more nuanced, and respectful lens. Hoping for my re episodes!
Cringe
I appreciate Kent, but the podcast on Israel sounded like two white people defending the unfortunate necessity of Jim Crow laws. Part 2 was even worse. “Moral minefields?!” C’mon. I’m looking forward to Part 3, “Are your children being recruited by Hamas on TikTok?”
Puzzle Peices
Kent is such an inspiring teacher and guide, shining a light on details in the pieces of the puzzle I try to put together in this life. It is so refreshing to hear rich conversations and ideas on topics that deserve so much more attention than the shallow one sentence memes on social media. Thanks Kent!
