This episode centers on a discussion of the first and second half of the spiritual life. Building off of our conversation with Chris Chase in episode 59, we talk about the shift from believing in God to experiencing God. The movement from belonging to a religion to living in relationship with the Divine. The shift does not follow a prescribed timeline and is often initiated through loss, failure, or suffering. If the first half of the spiritual life is about the journey to build a self, then the second half of live is about giving that self away.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
