What Do Your Dreams Mean? #112

Are Christians ‘allowed’ to talk about dreams? What about the dreams in the Bible? In today’s episode, I talk about the dreams you have at night. My hope is that we can learn how to learn something from our dreams. As I put it, our dreams are messages from ourselves, to ourselves, about ourselves. In a sense, dreams are our built-in BS Detectors. Thanks for reading Bumper Sticker Faith! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

Your Center of Gravity #111

Sam considers a letter written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer while he was in prison, the controversial thesis of a book by James Hillman called The Soul’s Code, the movie Warrior, and the story of Joseph in Genesis. By weaving these diverse threads together, you’ll learn how face suffering by keeping your center of gravity. These are especially helpful lessons for those who had a hand in their own suffering (due to personal failure). Thanks for reading Bumper Sticker Faith!

The Noon-Day Demon #110

More than ever, we are faced with listlessness, boredom, and the desire to be more than we are. In today’s episode, I talk with you about the Noon-Day Demon, which Rowan Williams describes in his new book Passions of the Soul. God has made it safe to be you, and He wants you to learn how to “be with” yourself without the need for distraction or ego-padding. I also talk about the true meaning of “flesh,” as well as three verses from Psalm 118. This is a public episode.
