Sinopsis
If you find yourself on the fringes of Christianity, either looking out or looking in, this is for you. The faith is far more dynamic than it has been commonly shown, and here is my playful and rabbinic attempt to dust it off by looking at today through the eyes of its best from church history as well as today.

The One About Hallways
17/03/2022 Duración: 33minBeen on a kick the past week about "liminal spaces", the in-between spaces, seasons between the seasons of life, etc. Apparently, this is where learning and growth happen the most.

The Least, Last, Lost, Latest And The Late
11/03/2022 Duración: 29minThis most recent episode is all about the book of James saying that showing favoritism actually discredits for him whether or not someone is following the Way of Jesus. To show partiality to the greatest, the first, the never lost, never victimized and the robust is still giving into the old formula of religion. I hope this one challenges you in the right ways.

Non-Judgment Day Is Near
04/03/2022 Duración: 31minInterested by that title? This one might get me in some heat but its okay, the Good News is supposed to be Good News, not Good Advice. Perhaps this one will invite you to "begin again" about how you think about Judgment Day... because what if God has good, and true, and beautiful, and loving things planned for us?

Suzanne Stabile, Author Of The Journey Toward Wholeness
25/02/2022 Duración: 43minSuzanne Stabile is a master enneagram teacher that often brings it alongside other topics and themes that you may not immediately associate with the enenneagram. Her most recent book, The Journey Toward Wholeness focuses on what she considers is the untapped wisdom of the enneagram to help people be transformed (which for her, is NOT the same thing as "changing"). This was an absolute delight and I felt enormously privileged to have the chance to talk with her. She is a healer for certain...

Dr. Jerome Lubbe, Author Of The Brain Based Enneagram
18/02/2022 Duración: 52minMy goodness, this was an ABSOLUTE gift being able to talk with Dr. Jerome Lubbe. He is an accomplished doctor, author and family man. In this, we chat through neuroscience, the enneagram, growth mindsets, and more. Hands down I look forward to the day I can take this guy out for a cup of coffee in person. I hope you enjoy listening to this! If you are able, go to his website and get his book on the Brain Based Enneagram, which we talk about in this interview, for its unique take on the Enneagram in connection to neuroscience. I HIGHLY recommend it. Follow Dr. Jerome Lubbe at: @doctor.jerome on Instagram @DrJeromeLubbe on Twitter And, his personal website at https://www.drjerome.com

Rev. Randy Van Osten Of Lighthouse Community Center
11/02/2022 Duración: 48minThis episode was a real treat. I've been a long time fan of this guy since being in seminary together... the Very Reverend Randy van Osten (van Awesome). Randy is a fantastic and stand up gentleman with the heart of a lion (and the mane to match it). A family man, pastor, and dreamer, Randy embodies for me and enacts what a good pastor can be when they are present to the needs of their community.

Meta-Meta-Meta
17/12/2021 Duración: 32minThe word "metanoia", which is often translated as "repent" is better understood as "change your mind." So, let's chat through the life of Peter, and chat through what it means to constantly be "changing our minds" all life long. In this episode I also reference Teilhard de Chardin on the Gospels by Louis Savary. It's a fantastic and thought provoking book. The amazon link to the book is this: https://www.amazon.com/Teilhard-Chardin-Gospels-Message-Evolutionary/dp/0809154498/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=de+chardin+on+the+gospel&qid=1639427977&sr=8-1 To check out more from John, check out these links: Website - johnchaffee.com Twitter and Instagram - @thatjohnchaffee Email List - https://newsletter.johnchaffee.com/

Brian Zahnd On When Everything's On Fire
04/12/2021 Duración: 43minOn this episode we have one of my own personal pastoral and theological heroes, Brian Zahnd. He is the founding pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri and recently launched his most recent book, When Everything's on Fire: Faith Forged From the Ashes. We chat through some of the chapters of the book, talk about influences of the Cloud of Unknowing and Julian of Norwich, the current word of the day known as "deconstruction", and finish by talking about 3 movies every Christian should watch. I hope you enjoy this because it was an absolute joy and privilege for myself!

It's About More Than Just Loaves And Fishes
07/07/2021 Duración: 28minLet's look at the feeding of the 5,000 in the Gospel of Matthew... from two perspectives: The Miraculous and the Materialist. Whether you consider yourself religious or not, I think you will be able to glean something from this. Plus, if we are honest, we all have both of those worldviews in us to some degree or another. johnchaffee.carrd.co

Neither East Nor West
07/06/2021 Duración: 23minOver the years I have had a number of conversations that stop short as a result of starting to sound too "Eastern" in my understanding of spirituality. So, reflecting on that experience, I thought it might be good to explore the differences to spirituality in the East and the West and see what kind of path forward there might be. Because, after all, what if authentic spirituality is both and yet, more that what the East and the West says it is?

10 Commitments of a Growth Mindset
25/05/2021 Duración: 34minThe other day, I was working on a word document about 10 Commitments of a growth mindset. It takes conscious thought to keep growing, it doesn't happen accidentally, but it can be accelerated by being mindful of how to go about it. I thought I would share the draft version of the 10 Commitments (since it will likely keep evolving). So, here it is, just little old me talking through the document. Enjoy.
