What does it really mean to be "in Christ"? Join us for this weeks episode as Baxter and Jason explore our union with Christ and how this is a pre-existing reality, established by the Father, Son and Spirit, and not something achieved through faith, repentance or personal striving.

In this weeks episode, Baxter and Jason explore the depth and mystery of prayer, moving beyond petitioning and asking – to a place of trust, union and participation in what the Father, Son and Spirit are already doing.

In this weeks episode, Baxter and Jason look at Thomas Erskine's theological challenge to Calvinism, and how this has impacted our understanding of the love the Father, Son and Spirit have for us. Through the episode, the discussion also highlights the influence Erskine had on other theologians including John McLeod Campbell and George MacDonald.

In this conversation, Tara Boothby, Brooke Waters, and Jason explore the intricate relationship between love, attachment theory, and spirituality. They discuss how our early experiences shape our views of self and God, the transformative power of love, and the importance of trust in relationships.

Tara shares her journey as a psychologist and how her understanding of love and attachment has evolved, emphasizing the need for a nonviolent approach to God and the healing process.

The discussion also touches on the concept of sin as a default behavior rather than a moral failing, encouraging a more compassionate view of ourselves and others. The conversation delves into the complexities of addiction, the cycles that individuals find themselves in, and the power of choice in breaking these cycles. They discuss the importance of removing shame and embracing one’s identity, as well as the role of curiosity in fostering understanding in relationships.

All creation is the manifestation of a Love (God) Song, the Logos (logic) of God. Music is not illogical but more “logic” than we can comprehend. And so, to appreciate Music, the Music, the Logos, must comprehend us. Physicists argue that all elementary particles are different ‘notes’ on a fundamental string, such that “The universe… is akin to a cosmic symphony,” (Brian Green). Aslan sings Narnia into existence. In Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, God through angels sings creation into existence, and when a fallen angel sings discordant notes, God Himself sings those discordant notes into a deeper harmony. The dissonance creates a longing for consonance and ecstatic delight in a deeper resonance. In the Revelation, a slaughtered lamb stands on the throne (the top of the ark) and sings meaning into the Seven Sealed Scroll as all creation worships. Reality is a dance, and if you’re not dancing to the Logos of Love, perhaps you don’t actually exist. When you nail the Logos to a tree, what do you get? Sheet music, dance steps, science, and technology — it has its place, but it’s not the same as feeling happy or dancing in the moonlight.

“The Logos became flesh and we have seen his glory—grace.” Jesus lived gracefully; He lived His life like a dance. The dance fulfilled the law, although it was not at all what we expected. We had the sheet music; we had the knowledge of good and evil; we had the law in a coffin in a stone temple. We had the dance steps, but we were all surprised by the Dancer and His Dance.
