Eps. 175 | Mystery Doesn’t Need to be Defended; Guest, Steve Wiens

Steve Wiens, is a writer, speaker, pastor, and the podcast host of This Good Word podcast. Our conversation involves rich topics from his book Shining Like the Sun about 7 Practices that deepen our intimacy with God. We converse about listening past our dualist assumptions and participating in the mysteries we don’t have to defend; Allowing God to be sufficient for us and accepting the extravagant divine love available as we detach from stories that don’t work anymore and begin to practice awareness that draws us into a life unfolding with moments and discoveries of the eternal now.
