Radical Sacred

Jenny Misslin and Phillip Dieke

Remember, you are on sacred ground. Stay rooted. For two years Jenny Misslin and Rev. Phil Dieke have been contemplating a podcast. An opportunity to discuss spirituality, nature, community, and the interconnectedness of it all. All things they love, are very anxious about, and eager to explore. Radical, defined as "the relating to the fundamental nature of something." This term can be divisive, but to Jenny and Phil it is an invitation to connect back to the divine goodness, the sacred, at the core of all creation. Radical Sacred is an invitation to join them in curiosity as they explore questions such as: What is an experience that led you to a kinder, more inclusive spirituality?Who was the first person you met that broadened your ideas about the Divine?Where do you experience the Holy?If liberation of self leads us on a pathway to liberation for all, what has that looked like in your own spirituality?How do you find joy and pleasure in these wild times?Has there been an anchor for you as your spirituality has shifted?How can the stories we tell ourselves harm or heal ourselves, and creation?Not experts, Jenny and Phil strive to live the questions while exploring the mystery of all that is unsolved in our hearts and souls. Will you join them?

    Christine Tracy on Just Trust Life: A Journey with Teilhard de Chardin

    We had the loveliest of conversations with writer, journalist, and rhetorician, Christine Tracy on her new book Just Trust Life: A Journey with Teilhard de Chardin. Her book and our conversation are about Teilhard, but are both also deeply rooted in how he became a guide and a north star for Christine as she goes on a transcendent journey to find her truest self. What can we learn by letting go of fear and shame and learning to just trust life? We hope Teilhard and Christine inspire you to look within, to trust self, and to transcend. All you need is already within you.  Show Notes: Christine's WebsiteJust Trust Life: A Journey with Teilhard de Chardin by: Christine Tracy Teilhard Project ScholarsThe Newsphere by: Christine TracySummer by Frank Weston BensonEmergency Family Assistance Association in Boulder Wilding by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer Questions to consider: How can embracing your inner wildness lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life?

    David Hayward is the Naked Pastor

    We were so fortunate to talk to David Hayward, known for his work under the moniker the Naked Pastor, in this spacious and honest episode about art, deconstruction, feminine wisdom, nature, and more. David shares with us his spiritual journey that is continually unfolding. His gentle storytelling invited us to look deeply at our spirituality, to not be afraid to live the questions when they come up, and to begin to move towards whatever is stirring within our hearts. There is no wrong way to become your fullest self, and the world deeply needs people who have come alive. This chat opened up some things for us to sit with, we hope it does the same for you.  Show Notes The Naked Pastor Website Naked Pastor on InstagramThe Liberation of Sophia Without a Vision my People Prosper-Till Doubt Do Us Part The Lasting Supper - Online Community Nadya Tolokonnikova from P***y Riot ArtLife Together by Dietrich BonhoefferChapters 00:00 The National Anthem and Its Hidden Truths 02:56 Introducing David Hayward: The Naked Pastor 05:59 The Naked Truth: Spiritual Abuse and Silence 11:39 The Journey of Deconstruction Begins 14:47 Reconstruction: Integrating the Past 19:05 Sophia: The Feminine Wisdom Within 25:56 Masculinity and the Inner Feminine 33:03 Jesus and Feminine Wisdom in the Church 39:19 Navigating Marriage Through Deconstruction 42:51 The Glue of Relationships: Love Beyond Beliefs 45:43 Navigating Deconstruction in Relationships 46:18 Loneliness and Community Rebuilding 49:38 Finding New Connections Outside Faith Communities 51:34 Art as Resistance and Inspiration 56:48 Nature's Role in Inspiration and Connection 01:00:28 The Power of Awe and Love 01:10:27 The Naked Pastor's Journey and Future Directions 01:12:35 NEWCHAPTER

Wes is a pastor, professor, and author who decided to look at prayer through a gentle, nonjudgmental, and playful lens. We chat about abiding in prayer, silence, what resonates deeply within us, and approaching prayer in a hopeful, open hearted way. We hope that this episode gives you the space you need to check out prayer in new and innovative ways! May your prayers flow through you freely, may they reach the depths of your heart and spirit,  and may your prayers lead you to act.  Show Notes: Abiding in AmenWes Ellis Website The Uncontrollability of the World by Hartmut Rosa God in Creation by Jurgen MoltmannTheology of Play by Jurgen Moltmann Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Prayer and Its Significance 05:11 Exploring the Challenges of Prayer in a Secular Age 10:25 Defining Prayer: A Two-Way Communication 13:10 Prayer as Technology: A Cautionary Perspective 18:33 Resonance in Prayer Practices 21:11 The Concept of Disposable Prayer 24:40 The Importance of Play in Spiritual Life 27:09 The Importance of Play and Joy in Troubling Times 27:50 Prayer as Community Action 30:08 Suffering with the World: A New Perspective 33:15 The Role of the Church in Transformation 35:19 Being Ready: The Nature of Prayer 38:27 Everything as Prayer: A New Understanding 44:58 Breath Prayer and the Desert Fathers 51:04 Finding Beauty Amidst Darkness 52:03 Invitation to Simple Prayer 53:48 NEWCHAPTER
