Religion is Broken: Distant God vs Embodied God

Allow me to geek out just a bit with my religious scholar hat on, but I’ve been thinking about something for a while now and finally, thanks to reading a lot of Sallie McFague for my thesis, am able to do a show on it.

And that is the concept of a distant god compared to an embodied god and how that changes your spiritual and/or religious worldview and affects the way you worship and your spiritual stories.

This episode looks at the difference between the two, what impacts that might have on one’s belief systems and ways in which they do (or do not) care for the planet, and more importantly the inclusiveness of a spiritual or religious belief system.

Buckle up. This may be an academic-y ride.
