Dangerous Book: How the Bible Can Be the Better Kind of Dangerous

The Bible is hard to understand and apply to our world today. And face it, it has been used to control and hurt. But that's not the only kind of danger it poses. If we recognize its distance from us in time, language, and culture and approach it with humility, wonder, and openness, it can rock our status quo and usher in healing and growth that can only come from the 3-stranded place it embodies. Here Greg Meyer shares some tools that can help the Bible be that better kind of dangerous.

Dark and light. Unseen and seen.

Praying with or for others can feel hollow, intimidating, forced or worse. It can also be deeply healing and connective. As a chaplain, Chris Lillehei prays with people for a living and still wonders, what do we expect when we pray together?

One With Everything: Practicing 1

Does the practice of prayer bring satisfaction? Or maybe people who are more content tend to pray? Mike Rusert and Greg Meyer have found important, evolving places for prayer in their lives and share some of their ‘why’ and give you a chance to try it yourself. Prayer takes us deep into our lives and world. And that takes practice.

One With Everything: Make Me One With Everything

Science, history, polls, and our own experience seem to say it is a basic human instinct to pray. Why is that? Can prayer be more than another way to try to control (or escape) our reality? See the Menti polls taken in the podcast below:
