9 episodes

My name is Chris McAlister, founder of SightShift.com and a leadership guide with a seminary doctorate. I’m aiming to start a conversation with this podcast. I have no interest in finishing it.

This will be a space for people to think critically about the stories guiding their lives.

For 40 episodes, I’ll pull from theology, history, philosophy, meditation, religious practices, psychology, and science to help you push through. The goal is to guide you in the wilderness when you're stuck in a story that isn’t helping you grow your wisdom. It’s a poly-contemplative approach. Join me in discovering our next software wisdom upgrade.

    PC 9: Power that makes you stronger

    PC 9: Power that makes you stronger

    There's a pattern to our reactions...
    to the power in our lives...
    and that power shapes us in healthy and unhealthy ways.

    PC 8 : The river of deceit

    PC 8 : The river of deceit

    What do you do when you feel like life is an exhausting fight?
    What are you fighting against? Others? Yourself? Something or someone else?
    Figuring out who you are is the greatest struggle and greatest privilege.

    PC 7: three tests we all face

    PC 7: three tests we all face

    When the box of your worldview isn't working...
    What if something else is going on?
    What if there was a way to decipher what was happening?
    What if it meant you would never be the same again?

    PC 6: Practice in the dark

    PC 6: Practice in the dark

    You're not ready to sustain the vision you were given. 
    You can be. 
    Make peace with the gap.
    Release the broken path.
    See the other even while you suffer.
    Forgive and test.
    Then you'll be unstoppable.

    PC 5: Drunk and more drunk

    PC 5: Drunk and more drunk

    Your life will always be full of hardships and challenges. 
    You can numb out and lose your spark. 
    Or you can stay on the lookout for when water turns to wine.

    PC 4: Unlearning hurts but it transforms

    PC 4: Unlearning hurts but it transforms

    In life we look for the big moments. We drive towards mountaintops that will fix everything or make it all better. 
    Yet it's in the cave that we find our truth. 
    It's in the "sound of thin silence" we find our way. 
    And we can't really begin until we unlearn what go us here.
