This episode piggybacks on the metaphor of having a Fire Dependent Spirituality. Shaleen and Holland unpack the metaphor of desert spirituality and what it looks like to divorce yourself from empire thinking, which can kick you out of the systems you once belonged to and embrace the Mystery that we call God.
Painter describes the desert as not a place of personal retreat but a place of revolution!
Join the revolution, let's start some fires!
