Renewal... And the Big Spinny Wheel Reveal!
Season 3, Episode 302, Sep 03, 2020, 08:08 AM
What In God’s Name builds into Season Three with an examination of renewal, AND a fun excursion into the realm of spinny wheels.
When is renewal necessary? And what makes it necessary? We’re talking about both personal and communal renewal. How is vocation related to renewal? How does examining the past help us in the process of renewal?
When examining the past is contentious, what skills do we need? Are there spiritual practices that can translate to non-religious settings, that can help groups that are discerning new ways to be?
Our show pushes back against the unexamined, often unconscious ways that we frame public questions using political or economic modes of thinking. We aim to be part of a growing movement of people who are critical of the narrowness of political and economic categories, and who want to revive a vision of human flourishing that is grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical tradition. We see these habits and ways of thinking as being pre-political, and foundational to a healthy and civil shared life in families, communities, economies, and polities.
In short, we want to foster conversations, develop habits, and create communities that are grounded in curiosity, going deep, and shining light.

For the first two seasons of What In God’s Name, what would follow here in the show notes was a detailed guide through the show, with timecodes for particular parts of the conversation. We are going to eliminate those notes, as an experiment, and see if anyone notices. If you notice, and you liked the detailed show notes with timecodes, please send us an email at whatingods@ribeye-media.com. If enough people liked and used the detailed notes, we’ll bring them back.
