Episode notes
(64) Good Shephard Sunday. Our Question: When have I been shepherded or been the shepherd?
We explore the difference between "neurotic" suffering and "transformative" suffering.
Quoted in this episode - from Alfred North Whitehead's Religion in the Making.
"A system of dogmas may be the ark within which the Church floats safely down the flood tide of history. But the Church will perish unless it opens its window and lets out the dove to search for an olive branch".
Marci talks about the Enneagram.
We talk about the paradoxical, contradictory, and powerful archetypes of shephards, sheep, and gates.
Laura's voice suffers from Easter allergies. Boo.
