  • Summary

  • Remember, you are on sacred ground. Stay rooted.

    For two years Jenny Misslin and Rev. Phil Dieke have been contemplating a podcast. An opportunity to discuss spirituality, nature, community, and the interconnectedness of it all. All things they love, are very anxious about, and eager to explore.

    Radical, defined as "the relating to the fundamental nature of something." This term can be divisive, but to Jenny and Phil it is an invitation to connect back to the divine goodness, the sacred, at the core of all creation.

    Radical Sacred is an invitation to join them in curiosity as they explore questions such as:
    • What is an experience that led you to a kinder, more inclusive spirituality?
    • Who was the first person you met that broadened your ideas about the Divine?
    • Where do you experience the Holy?
    • If liberation of self leads us on a pathway to liberation for all, what has that looked like in your own spirituality?
    • How do you find joy and pleasure in these wild times?
    • Has there been an anchor for you as your spirituality has shifted?
    • How can the stories we tell ourselves harm or heal ourselves, and creation?
    Not experts, Jenny and Phil strive to live the questions while exploring the mystery of all that is unsolved in our hearts and souls.

    Will you join them?

  • Transformation over Information: A Discussion on Palestine, Israel, Curiosity, and Concern

    Transformation over Information: A Discussion on Palestine, Israel, Curiosity, and Concern
    May 22 2024
    There is so much information circling around what is taking place in Palestine/Israel. This episode is not a history lesson on the founding of Israel, the displacement of Palestinians, nor the current military occupation taking place in Gaza. There have been many books, documentaries, podcasts, etc created to do that. This episode is an invitation to join us in our journey as we wrestle to make sense of geo-politics and how religion is so often used to divide us, rather than bring us together.

    As stated in the episode, neither of us are experts in terms of the Middle East. We debated bringing experts into the conversation but decided to focus on our own experiences and what has led us to our current concerns, our own going curiosity, and ultimately how we can continue to value the radical sacred in every human being, and all creation.
