                    <![CDATA[In this episode, Jeremy discusses the ways the Spirit of God pulls hope down into the very core of our being, into all parts of our lived experience. This discussion includes a critique of how Christiany is usually presented in our current moment, and then commentary on the sacred practice of contemplative prayer, as framed by Thomas Keating.

                                            <![CDATA[In this episode, Jeremy begins to conclude his series on expectancy by discussing what it means to become experts in the love and fullness of God. He discusses how the things that one loves and desires objectively shape the world one inhabits and subjectively inform one's experience of it.

In this episode, Jeremy concludes his two part treatment on Christian anthropology by offering a better epistemology for how we should understand what it is to be in the world as creatures of consequence. Part of this work includes differentiating between believing beings and thinking beings, and adopting non-cognitive ways of knowing.

                                            <![CDATA[In this episode, Jeremy discusses the reasons so many churches have been reduced to spaces where attendees experience little more than a mediocre hybrid between a TED Talk and an inspirational speech. For part one, we talk about what we are not: we are not merely consuming things; we are not merely tribal things; and, we are not merely thinking or believing things. Taylor and Smith serve as guides to clarify how churches have misunderstood our basic Christian anthropology.
