    What Shia Labeouf's CONVERSION Teach YOU about Dealing with YOUR LIFE | DC Ch 9 | Pt 1| BP Ep

    What Shia Labeouf's CONVERSION Teach YOU about Dealing with YOUR LIFE | DC Ch 9 | Pt 1| BP Ep

    The transformation in Shia Labeouf's life lately has been astounding. We dissect his interview with Jon Bernthal to help us see how he actually came to deal with his real life in order to transform spiritually. It was the death of his ego that gave him the place for a rebirth into something greater. Join us as we listen to his amazing story and tie it to content from "The Divine Conspiracy" chapter 9!

    The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

Saved my Life

So there I was about to jump into the ocean, but then, out of the dust this incredible podcast showed up in my ears. Now I enjoy life. I find that jumping into the ocean is ineffective, and I recaptured my zest for compassion. Thank you The Belfast Podcast!
