  • Summary

  • How could a supposedly good, loving God demand the evil, abusive act of Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac? In this episode, we go to the darkest depths, wrestling with this disturbing biblical story and the trauma and anger it evokes towards God.

    We'll give raw, honest voice to the hatred, distrust and despair we often feel in the face of immense suffering and cruelty in the world and our lives. Why does it so frequently seem like God treats us as rats in a cage to torment and destroy? Our conversation descends into the rawest dimensions of the spiritual struggle.

    And yet...even as we rage against God and wish to be free of faith, a deeper love endures in the depths of the soul. A fatalistic, inextricable bond to belief and the Christ story that haunts us, however much we may try to deny it. Paradoxically, the season of Lent calls us precisely into this darkness - to have our false selves shattered, paving the way for resurrection.

    By going to these bleak and uncomfortable places together, perhaps we can find the path to deeper transformation and faith emerging from the ashes. Join us for a heavy but highly catalytic dialogue that gets to the heart of the spiritual quest.
