Meditations for Misfits – An Introduction podcast #1
“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.”– Howard Thurman
What the Dying have Taught Me about Living podcast #2
I was afraid of dying, so I became a hospice chaplain. I figured if I hung around with Death, made friends with him—at a safe distance—I’d get used to him, and he wouldn’t be so scary. So, for the past fifteen years I have had the privilege to journey with more than three thousand folks who have gone on to the other side.
Why is the Grim Reaper so Grim? podcast #3
In the years that I’ve worked with Death and felt his presence at the bedside of a dying patient, I’ve thought about his costume. I mean, what’s with the hooded cowl?
Existential Distress podcast #4
This episode explores the existential issues we all struggle with: meaning, isolation, uncertainty, and death. The bad news is, there is no cure for these existential issues. The good news is they can be diminished and made more manageable by honestly talking about them. The even better news is that existential distress can become the fertile soil for living a rich and significant life.
