    Jonah, a heroic fish and a story with no villain.

    In this episode Samuel French and I explore the story of Jonah. We chew on the possibility of it being a parable designed to reveal a deeper wisdom about ourselves, our relationship to each other and God. This is my favorite book in the Old Testament with the most radical and progressive message concerning the universality of God's love and grace. I highly recommend reading "Jonah for Normal People" by Jared Byas if you're interested in exploring this innovative piece of ancient literature further.

    Joy, death and some meta physics of quality.

    In this episode I chat with my longtime friend Josh Mason about joy, what it is and where it comes from. We look at the religious and non-religious perspectives and find ourselves down a few more rabbit holes that take us into death and some meta-physics of quality. Josh is a musical artist and graphic designer. We have been meeting for breakfast every week since 2015 to chat about life and how we derive meaning within it. Everyone should have a friend like Josh.

    What's the deal with hell?

    In this episode I explore the doctrine of hell with my good friend Samuel French. It's not a theologically technical unpacking of it but more so an honest chat. We ask questions and give our personal assessments as we search for the unorthodox perspective.

    The artful ability of horror to be spiritually instructive.

    In this episode I chat with my good friend Michaela Love about the genre of horror in film and television and it's unique ability to tap into the deepest parts of our humanity. Michaela is a regular writer on Screentrant.com. We specifically chat about the Netflix show Midnight Mass and it's rich spiritual themes, unique cinematography, religious undertones and classic scares.
