Pep Talks for ArtistsEp 32: Book Talks: Ways of Seeing by John Berger w/ Mandolyn Wilson RosenMandy is back to help me dissect this beloved classic book "Ways of Seeing" 1972 (and BBC TV show) by John Berger. Welcome back, Mandy! And, as always on Book Talks, much art-nerdery was indulged. Come along with us as we consider Berger's thoughts on Art: aka How it was changed by the age of reproduction, How the Nude functions as a tool for the Male Gaze, and How art is used as a status symbol for the wealthy, and in advertising to create Glamour.
"Ways of Seeing" was created mainly by John Berger (writer/host), Michael Dibb...

Big Fish, Little PodPersonal vs. Impersonal GodIs God personal or impersonal? Is God a dynamic, specific person that we can form a relationship with or is God more of a universal power that permeates all things? Different spiritual traditions present God in different forms with different characteristics and even different pastimes. Is one of these traditions right? Do they contradict each other? Can we believe in more than one without seeming hypocritical ourselves?
2020-11-2400 minBig Fish, Little PodBut It's No SacrificeHow are we supposed to lean into the Bible when it seems full of ancient stories that don't always translate easily to modern ears. How is the story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son Isaac supposed to speak to our day to day life as spiritual seekers in 2020? Is there any way to find meaning in a story we can't relate to?
2020-10-2800 minBig Fish, Little PodWhy Wait For a Catalyst?When something in our life goes wrong, feels off, causes a disturbance, we often find ourselves reaching for our spiritual practice. This is great news - except why did it take a disruption to serve as the catalyst? Why does the inspiration for growth come when something has gone wrong? Why don't we feel as motivated to engage in our practice when things are going smoothly?
2020-10-1500 minBig Fish, Little PodPolar OppositesReflecting on the unlikely friendship between Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia, Bob and Amy discuss our current culture of divisiveness in this country. How do you foster friendship with someone whose beliefs offend you? Does offering a hand in friendship somehow condone their behavior? Aren't we, as spiritually-minded people, supposed to offer friendship even to our enemies?
2020-09-2827 minBig Fish, Little PodCrafting Our Own FaithAs we grow older, many of us go through a deconstruction of our childhood faith. Do I still believe? Does this practice make sense in my current life? As we navigate this process, there is a temptation to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Yet, just because some practices and beliefs don't work for you doesn't mean you have to forfeit the ones that do. Spirituality is not all or nothing. "People have been crafting their faith since the very beginning and you have always had permission to do the same."
2020-09-1731 minBig Fish, Little PodAll Things Are PossibleSometimes, after decades of struggling, we wake up one morning and the issue that has been tormenting us is suddenly gone. How does that happen? Is it a miracle? A paradigm shift? Our life will forever be split into two parts: before and after this one life-altering day. Bob describes a day like that, brought on by a simple prayer from a friend.
2020-09-0735 minBig Fish, Little PodTo Sin is a Human BusinessWhat is sin? Is it an archaic social construct used as a tool to control the masses? Can it be reframed as a set of guardrails that can actually help guide us towards our goals? Is it even worth talking about? This week, reluctantly, Bob talks about his ideas of sin.
2020-08-2638 minBig Fish, Little PodA Grown Up FaithDo the stories we learned in Sunday School have any relevance in our lives today? Filled with clearly defined heroes and villains, these Bible stories seem to reflect childish cartoons more than the messy, nuanced challenges of real life. Is this the fault of the stories themselves, the teachers, or our own interpretation? Bob and Amy discuss how easy it is to lose faith in our childhood religion when the answers it offers no longer seem relevant.

2020-07-1728 minBig Fish, Little PodLet Birds Fly Above the EarthWhy do we find it easy to appreciate diversity in nature, but uncomfortable to embrace diversity in people? When we picture ourselves in the Good Samaritan parable, it's usually as the Samaritan, overcoming bias in order to help someone in need. Yet, many of us are now being confronted by the truth that we have watched our black brothers and sisters suffer as we walked by on the other side of the road. How do we embrace this new and uncomfortable understanding about ourselves and our society?
2020-07-0723 minBig Fish, Little PodWe Need To Talk About ItToday's episode is a bit different than normal: it's an imperfect, unedited conversation about the murder of George Floyd. As we talked today, Amy and I definitely didn't have all the answers, but we shared our thoughts and challenged each other's perspectives. We hope that while clearly imperfect, our conversation shows how important it is to not remain silent. If you listen, we encourage you to listen through to the end.

2020-06-0142 minBig Fish, Little PodWe Could All Use A Little GraceWhat some of us thought was going to be a quarantine sprint has turned into a quarantine marathon. Without access to our usual self-care routines and stress-relievers, tensions are running high and we're beginning to tire out. Rather than becoming frustrated with ourselves and critical of others, this is the perfect opportunity for a little grace. Grace for the situation, grace for those around us, and most importantly grace for ourselves.
2020-05-2525 minBig Fish, Little PodSpiritual Impostor SyndromeSo many of us walk around feeling as if we don't belong, like we're the exception, like we're the impostor. This is especially prevalent in spiritual circles where people are afraid of being shamed for not toeing the line. So what happens when we pull back the curtain and see that we're actually one of many who feel this exact same way? Amy and Bob discuss how that has been for them over these past few weeks.

2020-05-0839 minBig Fish, Little PodFight or FlightIn times of stress, we often have strong knee-jerk reactions to things that hurt or upset us.

2020-03-2459 minBig Fish, Little PodThis Mandated SabbathBecause of the coronavirus outbreak, many of us now find ourselves home from school and work, self-isolating and social distancing. We can use this time to spiral into fear, lounge on the couch in our sweats, or bicker with our isolation crew. Or, as Bob proposes, we can see this time as a sabbath: a chance to refresh, reflect, and renew as we take advantage of this opportunity to grow creatively and spiritually.

The Amy Porterfield Show#296: How To Set Boundaries And Create Massive Personal And Professional Success This Year“Machines are built to work 24/7, but not human beings. It's crucial that we put boundaries in place for ourselves, to have offline time, exercise and sleep, time with loved ones and friends and family that's not tethered to a screen.

She’s absolutely right! We not only need to be aware of how we set boundaries around our screen t...

2019-12-171h 22Big Fish, Little PodConformed to This WorldThe ups and downs of life make it clear that we do not live in paradise, but is this world a classroom or a prison?

This week, Bob and Amy discuss these two opposing arguments and what inspires each of them most.
2019-12-1438 minBig Fish, Little PodWhere Moth and Rust DestroyThis week, Bob shares a heart-warming story about the power of compassion.

2019-09-2729 minBig Fish, Little PodBuilding SandcastlesSometimes it feels like building our life is like building a castle in the sand. We create an intricately designed castle as the wave of time creeps ever closer, inevitably washing all of our hard work away.

In this week's episode, Bob and Amy share their perspectives and explore what Jesus had to say about building houses out of sand.

2019-08-2320 minBig Fish, Little PodConsider the BirdsFor many people, the presence of God is more easily found on a nature hike than in a church pew.
