- Ted is back from his walking pilgrimage in Oklahoma. This episode has a few poetic interludes, including one from yours truly. This was one was very rewarding, hope you get as much out of it as we did.

You all are blowing my mind in this conversation. Any serious theologian should listen intently to this.
Shari is on fire.
1:25:30 the train station bag lady.
Reminds me of Graham Greene. Or “we don’t see God because we don’t look low enough.”
We need to open our eyes. To have the eyes of our hearts enlightened.
Sweet as
1:10:52 what Emil Bock says about the altar in the Apocalypse of John:
Every altar has always been a tomb, but only in the Christian tradition it has also become a table.
❤❤
1:21:05 re: seeing the beauty of the repugnant.
There is no “objective”.
Beauty (and reality) is in the eye of the beholder.
Holy pigs this was a good one. Thanks y’all!
Thank you
34:20 Remember embody. There is no agency.
1:06:15 “eating with your eyes”
My parents always used to say, “your eyes are bigger than your stomach”.
55:50
"In Fairyland," resumed the lady, as they sat down to the table, "the ambition of the animals is to be eaten by the people; for that is their highest end in that condition. But they are not therefore destroyed. Out of that pot comes something more than the dead fish, you will see."
- George MacDonald, the golden key
Love that quote! ❤
1:00:40 the rich man! And the eye of the needle.
Haha, Shari just said that. ❤
1:03:00 Ted, I don’t even see this as a problem. 😂
Living in one’s car, to eat at nice restaurants vs paying rent.
Sounds godly. Or could be. Not even kidding.
41:40
❤
44:15 short story “the window into…” which the film Arrival is based off. ❤
Yes.
"Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang
Kahlil Gibran 😍🥰
“Kierkegaard enraged me *when I read Fear and trembling as a teenager*…”
🙄
58:35 re: all eating coming from the giving of life and sacrifice.
Is INDEED a good pointer to why gluttony is a sin. It’s the ravenous mammon of life. Anti-life. Selfishness. 😢
48:57 Nate, this may be the bridge to our disagreement about Abraham and Isaac:
Abraham had faith in the remembrance (Christ) of God.
1:09:20 re: how to ride a bike and go straight.
Amen. Polanyi. And periphery. “Look around”, Shari.
Or maybe to redeem a recent phrase of the satanic deception “don’t look up”.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, where does my help come from?
Yes Orientation.
21:20 this is very much Lewis’s Expectant Good vs Actual Good from Perelandra.
Holding onto the expectant good Vs the good that God actually provides is our problem.
Maybe even having an expectant good. Idk. Maybe this is the difference btw childishness and grown childlikeness.
Ted brought this up, immediately after I made the comment. 😂 I’m unneeded. 😊
46:30 God had memory. Hence, us. Hence, being.
Maybe even God’s remembrance is the Trinity. Is Christ.
