This Spring I got to sit down with Fred Herron, host of Spirituality Adventures, to talk about what it means to live a life of spiritual adventure, and write a new chapter in our lives.
And wow, did we cover a lot of ground! In our time together, we illuminated:
- The importance of knowing and sharing our spiritual autobiographies
- Rehab, recovery, and learning from life’s travels
- Our shared Pentecostal/charismatic heritage — what we’ve kept from it, and what we’ve let go
- Does “Jesus is my boyfriend” worship music get a bad rap in light of erotic mystical verse from our rich contemplative history?
- The subterranean history of the Emerging Church movement, the Wild Goose Festival, and early ties to contemplative spirituality
- The story of how my book with Richard Rohr — The Divine Dance — came to be
- Moving from dualism to holistic seeing via the Law of Three
- Centering Prayer and Integral Christianity
- Why Jesus is more tantric than ascetic, and how we can allow more abundance into our lives
There are so many ways you can tune into this life-giving conversation:
