This “dangerous” book provides some possibilities that are pretty counter-cultural; challenging what it means to be human and how to be a human alongside others. So, what does “being blessed” mean? Is it about securing the space around you, or could it be about creating more space for you and for those around you?

We aren’t the first generation to face threatening winds or to respond with desperation, denial, and despair. From cover to cover, the Bible reveals a powerful Spirit. What spirit do we inherit from those ancestors? Could it be just the kind of dangerous we need right now?

It’s easy to want to be a hero or to want one to rescue us. The Bible plays along with so many other cultures in creating heroes, but you might be surprised when you look deeper at some of those “heroes” and how they give us a picture of what always has shaped us into the people of love, justice, and hope that God imagines.

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.

Somehow we have developed a love affair with light and mistaken it for life. Easter is about life -- full, undying, hope-filled life and it isn't always found in the light. Life begins in the dark where seeds and cells grow, where mysteries unfold. And it continues in the beauty and wonder of night skies, shadowy forests, and deep inside us. Night and day. Dark and light. Unseen and seen.

Among all the things prayer is, one of them is a way of being. If prayer is being part of, or connected to ‘All That Is’ then it really should be a mode of existence not just something you do sometimes, regularly, or often. What can ‘pray without ceasing’ that the Bible talks about look like in your real, everyday, earthbound life? It may be a horizon none of us will ever reach, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth walking toward.

It might feel safer to be all philosophical about prayer, but what about when it comes to the practical side and talking about or deciding if, what, or how to teach kids in your life to pray? In this episode, Fabric Master of Fun Heidi Esposito joins Greg Meyer to get practical about teaching kids to pray.

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?
