Today we have another interview with special guest James Early from “The Bible Speaks to You.”James and I met on #podMatch and quickly became fast friends. I invited him onto this program, not to entertain you, but to encourage you in your own journey of faith.

James and I will discuss the difference between religion and faith, and why the Bible really needs to be rescued from the grasp that fundamentalism has on it. The Bible is far more inviting and offers far more nuance than when dolled out in a transactional, dogmatic way. He shares my work in trying to help people experience the transformative process that Jesus offers everyone, and how he did so outside the framework of religion.

Thank you so much for your feedback on my "guided tour" from my contemplative practice. If you aren't sure what this is, please listen to part 1: What is Contemplation? Then when you can carve out about an hour, listen to part 2: The Concierge of Contemplation. You'll need these to understand part 3 which is coming next week, "Embodiment and Pneuma", which should pretty much wreck most of your wineskins.
