It was so great to have Rob Bell back on the show to chat through his new book Everything is Spiritual.
This isn't just a conversation. It's an unedited experience.
Enjoy.
Book Information below from St. Martins Press.
In his profound and deeply personal new book, EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL: Who We Are and What We're Doing Here, New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell explores the endless dynamic questions and connections that have shaped his life, providing powerful insight into understanding one's purpose and place in the world.
EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL is a brief history of how ideas about creation, love, and connection shaped the author—and can shape every one of us. In EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL, Bell explores the wonder and awe that comes from embracing where and who you come from, discovering in the wounds and regrets of life an invitation lurking in there to expand, much like the universe has been doing for 13 billion years.
EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL shows there is a space beyond all the parts and divisions and differences and polarization where you can see that it’s all one connected whole—and that it’s all rigged in favor of growth, expansion, and joy.
ROB BELL is the New York Times Bestselling author of ten books, including Velvet Elvis, Drops Like Stars, and Love Wins, which have been translated into 25 languages. His podcast, called RobCast, was named by iTunes Best of 2015. He's toured with Oprah, been profiled in The New Yorker, and in 2011 TIME Magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. He does regular shows at Largo, a comedy and music club in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Kristen and their three kids.

He is an award-winning columnist for Christianity Today and his writing appears regularly in a variety of christian columns.
I stumbled across Andrews most recent book,Spirit and Sacrament: An Invitation to Eucharismatic Worship. I appreciated his approach to valuing both the liturgical practices as well as the movement of the spirit in worship contexts.
He has also authored several other books, including, Echoes of Exodus: Tracing Themes of Redemption through Scripture.
It was a pleasure having Andrew on the show as we talk through why the modern church has widely walked away from the sacraments and liturgical practices as well as why the high church has rejected a charismatic movement of the Spirit and why all of this matters.

It was so good to have Aaron Niequist drop in to the podcast to talk through the value of a practice-based faith.
Aaron's story of how he faced a faith crisis which changed everything. * not to be missed.What exactly is centred prayer? What do we engage in it and how can it be beneficial in our lives?Church reimagined as a gymnasium- this is one of the things Aaron brings up in his book. This idea poses some very telling things about the way that churches often conduct services and Aaron tells of another way to possible see church. We also talk about the future of the church as well.
God has been at work since the beginning of creation and Aaron speaks of this work as a river, a river that we are invited to not only believe exists, but we are invited into it. To wade in it and participate with God in the healing of the world.
Aaron discovered a practice-based faith years ago when the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist got to the point where he began to even question his beliefs. It was through the help of discovering a practice-based faith that he was able to see great healing take place in his life. He began to swim with God to bring healing to others then too.

From an early age Alex Seeley was told she was an accident, but she also carried the weight of feeling stupid. Labels like these, sometimes spoken over us by well-meaning people, can cause us to believe lies about ourselves that make us question why we were born and what our purpose on earth could be. Aelx joins the conversation on vulnerability and the labels we all wear. Alex recently wrote a book, Tailor Made where she tells her story of how she dealt with a variety of labels she faced as a young woman.
We also chat through the importance of vulnerability in shaping faith communities, how the good news is really that good and many other things.
Tailor Made (From Thomas Nelson)
From an early age Alex Seeley was told she was an accident, but she also carried the weight of feeling stupid. Labels like these, sometimes spoken over us by well-meaning people, can cause us to believe lies about ourselves that make us question why we were born and what our purpose on earth could be. Yet, according to Psalm 139, God designed us in His image with a unique DNA and amazing characteristics! We are loved and created for a purpose that only we can fulfill.
In Tailor Made, Alex helps us recognize our wrong thinking often brought on by generational patterns, insecurities, circumstances, lack of forgiveness, and an inaccurate view of God our Father, and offers to replace them with a new view of who God says we are our personal destiny. It’s time to find your own sense of belonging and the path to becoming the original, authentic version of you that God intended!
Writing your first book?No one else has your voice.Sharing our stories help others heal?Hurt people, hurt people?Honesty from leadership is vital.What would it look like to live out our identity as a child of God?

He talks at length on how we as humanity engage with Shame. We also chat about developing a healthy narrative around sexuality within culture, faith, how we see God and so much more.
THE HEART OF MAN (Synopsis)
Sexual abuseDifferentiating guilt from shameWhat do we do with our shame?Cover up or expose?How total depravity has affected humanityHow do we develop a high view of humanityPauls general experience with the church has been that the church has added to the problem of shame rather then embrace vulnerabilityvulnerability breeds vulnerabilityOur fathers faces on Gods FaceIs God mildly disgusted with us?How does God see us?What is conviction?The lies we believe about God
The Heart of Man is a cinematic retelling of the parable of the Prodigal Son, intertwined with contemporary and poignant true testimonies of personal and sexual brokenness. These two genres are combined as never before to reveal the compassionate heart of God the father for his sons and daughters illuminating an age-old truth: Shame is not a barrier to God’s love, but a bridge to absolute transformation, victory, freedom and hope.
The film features emotional interviews with real people going through their mess and subsequent healing, and includes expert witnesses of such men as William Paul Young, author of the NY Times best-selling novel “The Shack”, Dan Allender, Ph.D, author of "The Wounded Heart" and Spoken Word Artist Jackie Hill Perry.

Jessica Le Clerc is described as a “narrative impressionist realist” which I think is artistic jargon for a ridiculously talented artist and human. The fascinating thing about Jess, is that she is completely self-taught. Art to her is deeply spiritual and confronting.
Jess caught up with me to talk about the power of imagination and the need for us to continually awake ourselves to this. Jess teaches art and imagination and has found the process of 'waking up' to bring about healing and restoration within countless lives. This episode is not to be missed.

Grace. It’s more than just a word. It's more than a theory or a concept. I saw grace in such a powerful and tangible way recently while I was visiting Jarrod McKenna in Perth.
Jarrod is a friend, pastor, non-violent activist, father, and prolific speaker. He has spoken in many different environments ranging from churches to music festivals (including Splendour in the Grass). He is the founder of First Home Project in Perth and currently lives there with refugees in Perth. Jarrod also works internationally as an activist trainer, particularly in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
It was an absolute privilege to have him share with great vulnerability during this episode. He is a man who is so in love with Jesus and truly believes that healing will come to humanity and that it will come through our love for our neighbour, whomever that might be. - Daha fazla göster
