Defying the Crazy-Making Power of Money (3)

NRCC — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:53:55 +0000

During these introductory lessons in our “Crazy-Money” lesson, we’ve seen sometimes amusing examples of how money-troubles are usually heart-troubles, and how money-obsessions are a portals into the condition of the soul.

Today, we finish looking at the variants of crazy that money does to us. Once we finish, we’ll turn to several ancient spiritual paths that help us move beyond the craziness.

Have a listen,

Defying the Crazy-Making Power of Money (1)

NRCC — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 15:43:25 +0000

We begin a new lesson today about how money makes us crazy… or how it reveals the crazy we already are.

If you’ve been following the news, you realize that anxiety is in the air during these economically troubled times. We’re afraid. We’re angry. We’re churning and grinding. We’re a lot of things… Peaceful and Free, not among them.

Money, it turns out, is a very spiritual subject. How we relate to it turns out to be a powerful diagnostic tool, revealing some of our deeper instincts and beliefs… about ourselves, God, the universe, and life.

Have a listen. I hope we can find peace in this economically troubled time.

The New Year marks an annual invitation to personal renewal. Last week, we looked at how human beings best change. In this second lesson about personal renewal, we look at the unconscious resistance to renewal and change we often put up. We all have areas of growth before us in the coming year, areas originating in the heart of God. We yearn for transformation, but may inadvertently resist it. Have a listen.

How we think about God profoundly affects how we think of the Christian journey. Today, we continue examining how our image of God as King, creates a different version of Christianity than does an image of God as Lover.
