About this listen
Today we’re going to talk about, of all things, death…and the end of the world. I would encourage you right from the start to stay curious, as I’m almost certain this is not the podcast episode you’d expect from the title. There’s so much doom and gloom in the world already, I’m not going to add to it…I promise. But I do think this is an important, and very relevant topic for the world right now. In this episode I offer a fresh perspective - through the lens of my personal experience being raised by the maker of a mainstream apocalyptic film series, and the spiritual trauma that resulted- which re-contextualizes our understanding of death within the conceptual framework of a Universe who's deepest Truth is love (not fear). In the process we'll also reflect on the life and death of Christ, as well as the Christian notion of the Devil, and how they have (and can) shape our personal and cultural death narratives.
We end this episode with a poem from my recently published book, When The Gods Were Half Human, which can be found here. Thanks for listening!
