Today on the podcast, I'm chatting with my long-time friend, Kyle Whalum. Kyle is a world-class bassist (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, The Voice, LeAnn Rimes, and SO many other artists), an Ultra Runner (watch his documentary here).

For the past few weeks, I’ve been walking—not for exercise, not for productivity, but as a slow, embodied practice of contemplative listening.

Throughout the ancient Near East, creation stories share a common theme surrounding the act of NAMING. Their profound ideas still offer wisdom for us today. In this episode, we explore another profound word and idea from the Hebrew creation story found in Genesis 1. This is another part in the Earth and Skies series.

In the story of creation found in Genesis 1, God creates a beautiful and fruitful universe in which humans and all living things can thrive. That’s where the story ends, but it begins with tohu va-vohu - an unproductive, disordered, and chaotic landscape. This desolate beginning point provides the raw materials the Divine uses to bring about something beneficial and good (and he can do the same for you).
SO EXCITED for this one! Rob Bell is an official Insider (for today at least!) We're talking art, ancient wisdom, spaceships, and more.

I had the chance to sit down with Ben from The Dad Co. podcast. We had a great conversation about being a dad, fostering spiritual life with our kids, and the art of ritual in the home. So, I thought I’d repost it here for you amazing Insiders (your new collective nickname, by the way).

Parenting as an act of ritual.
We’re gettin’ practical with this one! Today we’re looking at 4 very straightforward ways to concretise our ideals into everyday actions that can renew, refresh, challenge, stretch, and transform us - all through the power of RITUALISING some very ordinary things already in our lives.

OFFENCE is one of the quickest ways we can stall out in our spiritual growth. We encounter hundreds of opportunities every day to be offended. A dominant reason we get offended is because our preferences and ideals aren’t being met by the person in front of us. While we could continue to resist this person, this experience and remain frustrated, ultimately it cost us our joy, peace, and freedom. So, instead of resisting, what if we...
