Steph Curry experiences it when he’s “in the zone” and hitting 35-foot three pointers with ease. John Coltrane experienced it when he was recording his saxaphone performance on A Love Supreme. Psychologists have come to call this experience “the flow state.”
But how might the flow state be related to what a monk experiences when he is deep in contemplative prayer or what a revival preacher feels in a tent meeting?
In this series, we’ll explore the science of the flow state through the groundbreaking work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s in his 'Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience' and offer theological reflections on possible points of intersection with historic Christian spirituality.

In this week's episode, we'll engage with the work of philosopher Byung-Chul Han to discuss how the constant consumption of information can contribute to a sense of meaninglessness and what role narrative and a reorientation of our relationship to God and the world plays in re-enchanting the world.

Joe Rogan, once a vocal evangelist of New Atheist talking points on religion, recently expressed how he yearns for the "just and righteous" Kingdom of God and believes the world "needs Jesus...for real." That's quite a change for Rogan, but his journey is emblematic of a broader shift in attitudes towards religion.
In this episode, I'll explain why this cultural shift is happening, and we'll engage with the work of Charles Taylor, Jonathan Haidt, Paul Tillich, and others to help us better understand what religion actually is.

I made this video to help those who, like me, come from church or Christian school contexts where Young Earth Creationism has been treated as the only way to think about science and the Bible.
In this video, I'll explain 3 basic theological reasons why Christians who want to take the Bible seriously don't have to believe in Young Earth Creationism.

Can Joseph Campbell's "hero's journey" happen within metamodern storytelling?
In today's episode, I help you understand how the structure of great myths like Homer's Illiad and The Odyssey, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars can still exist within the emerging metamodern storytelling aesthetic.We'll explore how the critically acclaimed animated "Spider-verse" movies (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse & Across the Spider-Verse) give us a brilliant example of a metamodern hero's journey.

There's a cultural shift in how we are telling stories, and it's a relatively new phenomenon. It's something different from postmodernism but still incorporates elements from modernism and postmodernism. Philosophers are just barely beginning to grasp what is happening; some call it metamodernism.In today's episode, we'll explore the shift from modernism to postmodernism and into metamodernism through the genre of the American sitcom so that you can notice the distinct flavors of each that take place across genres of storytelling and the arts. From The Cosby Show and Home Improvement to Seinfeld and into Joe Pera Talks With You, how is metamodern comedy shifting towards offering people a sense of sacredness and transcendence in their seemingly meaningless mundane lives?
