Who Do You Say I Am?

“My idea of God is not a Divine Idea. It has to be shattered time after time. God shatters it Godself. God is the great iconoclast. Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of God’s presence?”  – Clive Staples Lewis

Does this Offend You?

This podcast offers a reflection on another question Jesus asked in the 6th Chapter of St. John’s Gospel, “Does this offend you?” It is our suggestion that Jesus desires to liberate us from simply becoming spiritual tourists. “Spiritual shopping around is an attempt to find security, an attempt to find a way to always feel good about ourselves.” – Pema Chödrön

How Shall We Feed These People?

This week’s podcast offers a reflection on a question Jesus asked in the 6th Chapter of St. John’s Gospel, “How shall we feed these people?” “O my soul, be prepared to meet him who knows how to ask questions.” — T.S. Eliot
