This has been the theme of so many of my conversations with David Rice. He is a pastor, practical theologian, former cheesemonger, chef, gardener, father, and husband.

In this episode of the podcast, Traci shares how she, as a small-town southern baptist, discovered and fell in love with liturgy, prayer beads, silence, the book of common prayer, and the broad church experiences of other traditions. She moved from not simply loving her particular faith tradition and church experience, but loving the Great Tradition, the historic...

Well, it is. And, Colby Martin shares with us just what this means and how we can shift from a conservative understanding of Christianity to a progressive one and still find union with God and others.
Colby is the author of Unclobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality and The Shift: Surviving and Thriving After Moving from Conservative to Progressive Christianity. He also is the co-pastor, with his wife Kate, of Sojourn Grace Collective in San Diego, California as well as h...

2020-06-2241 minThe Why Behind The WhatS.2 Episode 16 - Rediscipling the White Church with David SwansonWhat if the answer to the racial segregation within our churches is not diversity, but discipleship? And what if our church’s methods of discipleship have actually contributed to our racial segregation?
In this time of racial violence and protests, what if our role, as white people, is not to become woke, but to become dismantlers, repairers, and reformers?
In this episode, I interview David Swanson, pastor of New Community Covenant Church in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago and the author of Rediscipling the White Church: From Cheap Diversity to True Solidarity.

2020-05-0434 minThe Why Behind The WhatS.2 Episode Nine - Digital DisconnectIn this episode, I force us to ask whether social media and our digital devices enhance or inhibit our spiritual life and transformation. The more I use social media, the more I am questioning the value of social media.
I’d venture to say that we serve the god of our smartphones much more than we serve the God of the Universe. We are much more focused on our devices than on the Divine.

2020-04-2345 minThe Why Behind The WhatS.2 Episode Eight - Fixed Hour Prayer & LiturgyIn this episode, I introduce you to Fixed Hour Prayer and Liturgy; absolutely ancient and foundational practices in the history of the Christian tradition.
Fixed Hour Prayer is pausing to pray throughout our day at regular intervals- usually in the morning, around lunch, in the early evening, and before bed. Liturgy, meanwhile, is the guiding and organizing principles of a church’s worship gathering; the rituals, traditions, and structure within the service.
These are two practices that I was taught to view as too rote and traditional as well as lacking passion and vitality. I wa...

Oh dear Lord in heaven. What was I thinking of writing all that stuff? It’s some of the most hysterical, embarrassing, vomit-inducing, fundamentalist stuff I have ever read. It is epic. So, I have decided to read those parts to my podcast listeners. Sincerely, Nathan

2020-04-0617 minThe Why Behind The WhatS.2 Episode Five - Centering PrayerCentering prayer allows you to be in union with God, to be aware of God, and to be as close to God as your very breath. It is a holy act, where you don't have to worry about doing, but instead settle into simply being. And, it's a lot more difficult than you think.
Father Pennington's structure for Centering Prayer: 1. Be with God. 2. Use a word with stay with God. 3. Use the word to return to God. Isn't that great? Be with God, stay with God, return to God.

I don’t know about you, but I am doing my best not to absolutely panic almost daily. And, it’s been breathing, the breath prayer, as well as meditation that has really been anchoring me and giving me moments of calm.
