Beyond Belief: Exploring Our Spiritual Side

What happens when life stops feeling simply “hard” and starts feeling like chaos?In this episode, we explore what it means to find ourselves in “the deep” — those moments of overwhelm, trauma, illness, panic, or profound uncertainty when we feel like we’re losing our footing. Our conversation draws on Bible scholar and professor Dave Nienhuis and his book And the Sea Was No More: Reading the Bible in the Deep, exploring the Bible’s powerful imagery of water and chaos — from the darkness of Genesis to Revelation’s vision that “the sea will be no more.” We explore the important difference between the dark and the deep, and how spiritual connection can sometimes begin by simply coming back into our bodies and acknowledging where we are. We close with a gentle, body-connecting meditation that you can return to whenever you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or in need of grounding.
