In This Interview, Mike McHargue and I Discuss...
- The One You Feed parable
- His new book, Finding God in the Waves
- His analogy of our brains being like the government
- Where God is found in our brains
- That if you continually analyze your relationship with a person, eventually that relationship will be less emotionally based and more intellectually based
- That the arts as well as anything looked at or experienced as a whole rather than reductively will help feed your "romantic" wolf in a relationship
- His journey from the Southern Baptist Church to losing his faith to where he is today
- His faith today is a posture of gratitude, surrender, an awareness that life is just something that we have that we didn't do anything to receive and it is a rare and precious gift and that he extends that gratitude to God (which is found in our unique human capacity to love)
