We finally did it: devoted an entire episode to AI.

We're All Husbands and Wives
So glad to have you join me for a Fall Riff on the role of Lover. Lovers are those who appreciate beauty, who offer agape love to a special other, and who allow themselves to be loved with agape love by another. Yes, this role is about romance, but so much more than romance is wrapped up in the lover role. When we dare to love another, especially in a commitment like marriage, we all receive and offer love, affection, care, concern. We all lead and submit and follow. We are have varying proportions of the masculine and the feminine in ou...

Investing 101: It's Not About Money
In this first fall 2021 riff, I share about the way we all are investing, whether we have a financial adviser, stocks, ETFs, mutual funds or a retirement account or not. We all trust others with valuable things and we all hope that we get a return of some sort on that which we have entrusted. We also invest in ourselves, too. It's about making sound investments and being patient as the valuable things we have invested do work in the vest pocket of the one in whom or in which we've in"vest"ed.

To Be a Son | Late Summer Riff
I decided to riff on the role of son/ daughter/ child; a role that is at times a source of great pride and gratitude, and at other times, makes me feel accused of dereliction of duty. When you think about it, there are many more podcasts about how to be a dad than how to be a son. Why is that? Well, hopefully, this episode stimulates your thinking, heart, and actions toward all that is good, true and beautiful about being a son, daughter, or child of God.

Summer Riffs 2: Jesus is the Most Inclusive Guy You've Ever Met
In my second summer riff, and on the heels of a new national holiday, I got to thinking, writing, and riffing on inclusivity from Jesus' point of view. At first, it seems counterintuitive to think Jesus is being inclusive when he says, "I am the way, the truth and the life" I've been following Jesus the best I can for about 30 years in earnest, and I think Jesus deserves some more consideration for what he claimed about himself. Despite how controversial the above quote is, I'm not sure it qualifies Jesus as an exclusive person given the totality of hi...
