What is it about prayer that many find so difficult? What about spiritual disciples make them feel as though they are always at arm's length? How does our view of salvation affect how we engage with spiritual practices? Join Daniel and me as we go through the end of chapter 9 of The Divine Conspiracy, along with Shia Labeouf, to help answer some of these questions.

The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

Many of us experience the desire for change, but it often doesn't stick. Why is that? What is it about our desires that are at once so rapturious and so fleeting? As we look at chapter 9 of "The Divine Conspiracy," we will see how the physical transformation of Penn Gillette, Dallas Willard, and Jesus all say the same thing about desire and change.

About 6 months ago, Kat Von D went onto Allie Beth Stuckey's podcast. They talked about her conversion, and Kat shared stories of the backlash she has experienced due to her appearance. She also sheds light on why she doesn't like modern worship music. These clips help us dive into Willard's words from "The Divine Conspiracy" regarding our out-of-order values in personal transformation.

The transformation in Shia Labeouf's life lately has been astounding. We dissect his interview with Jon Bernthal to help us see how he actually came to deal with his real life in order to transform spiritually. It was the death of his ego that gave him the place for a rebirth into something greater. Join us as we listen to his amazing story and tie it to content from "The Divine Conspiracy" chapter 9!

Taking some key concepts from Chapter 8 of "The Divine Conspiracy," Daniel and I talk about Willard's flip of Bonhoeffer's famous phrase, "cheap grace," into "costly faithlessness." We investigate how our faith affects our works and vice versa.

In reading chapter 6 of Willard's book, I was struck by the simple belief that in fasting and giving up food, the Christian believes with Christ that we have food others do not know about. Or do you believe that? It's the confession of Jesus in John's Gospel, so we may do good to consider it. Or, like me, are you addicted to the pleasure of food? Follow us on

In this episode, Daniel and I read through the opening section of the Sermon on the Mount, guided by Willard's "The Divine Conspiracy," in exploring the importance of the sermon's structure. We debate whether the sermon was given all at once or if Mark has compiled it for us in his gospel.
