The Nexus Podcast

After all this talk of seeing goats on cows, here are some practical ways to "exercise" your eyes for the seeing.  By way of scuba diving adventures, valleys full of dry bones, Paul's prison letters and Celtic spirituality Brad suggests some practices that will train our eyes to the mystical.

Might we all be bumping into God far more often than we realize?  Through stories of Johnny Cash, mystical experiences in the Bible as well as some of his own, Brad suggests that these experiences are calling us to more.

Is our world enchanted? In this episode, Brad takes a look at why we have a hard time seeing and perceiving God's presence and work in the world as well as the places where we can't shake the sense that this world is sacred.

A couple of friends spot a remarkable phenomenon by the side of Highway 101 in California: a goat standing on the back of a cow.  Curious, they pull over to 'see this strange sight' and end up in a mystery that would take 12 years to resolve.

A continuation of last week's 'Double Rainbow' episode, Brad reminds us that 'the meaning is in the noticing'...but when we do notice there is often an invitation involved...and that is where God is present and at work.

This is the first episode of our 'Goat on a Cow' series.  In this teaching Brad shares a number of remarkable stories, each of them with a question attached: what does it mean?

A man sees a double rainbow in the sky, a couple finds a mysterious one-in-a-million dollar bill, and a woman finds herself saved from a doomed flight after a seemingly random set circumstances.  What do these stories mean? Do they mean anything?

The episode concludes with Brad sharing our own story with us and the mind boggling sequence that had to occur for us to be, well, us.  What does that mean? Anything? 

On the eve of Nexus' 10th anniversary, Brad pauses to reflect on his hopes for the Nexus community over the next decade together.

So many of us are feeling fatigued by COVID and the other crises our world is facing, so here is some good news for those of us who feel worn down.
