Episode 99 | God, Part 2: Deconstructing Dualism

So, let's talk about God. What is God? Where is God? Who is God? And how does God inhabit our stories, our hopes, our fears and our dreams? Where is God taking all of this, if God is taking all of this anywhere at all?
In this series - and I have no idea how many episodes it will take - I'm going to do what I do: I'm going to share my own journey of understanding God, I'm going to talk about some odd, poignant and interesting stories in the Scriptures, and I'm going to invite you to show up with your story as well.
In the second episode of this series, I talked about the universal temptation to label and judge everything in comparison to something else, and to decide that one is good, and one is bad. We learn this as children, and it's very helpful. But if we don't learn to hold the tension of two seemingly opposing thoughts, we'll always choose sides, we'll only seek out the facts that support our side, and we'll dehumanize the other side (the enemy). There's a better way. Enjoy!
Music on today's episode was by Grayshot (Song: You Know the Way).

Thank you for sharing your experience with God. I had a couple of days thinking about the previous episode. The way I understood what the phrase: "God is becoming and unbecoming" in my life is that God is becoming the entity of which Jesus has taught us to believe and is unbecoming the deity of which our religious leaders made Him to be. To me, that is a beautiful thing. My relationship with God is expanding just like the universe. I hope my growth in God never ends
