    April 1st, 2019  |  20 mins 42 secs

    This podcast is in fact a reflection on love and trust, on love enacted as well as love sworn. I hope it will open a door on your own loves, let alone on your own isolation (when you feel it) -- a door on Love as it really is.

  • Episode 269 - Soul Trajectory

    March 20th, 2019  |  21 mins 49 secs

    As the human soul makes its trajectory through life, it "lights on" hoped-for objects of connection. From birth to death, the soul is looking for, urgently aspiring to locate, a substitute for the connection with God that it had before it was born. Unfortunately, the soul is almost always disappointed.

    January 30th, 2019  |  22 mins 7 secs

    A friend recently surprised me with the observation that Christians he knows who preach a "theology of glory" seem to be more welcoming, and forgiving, of real actual sinners than Christians he knows who preach a "theology of the Cross". My own experience confirms what my friend said.

    When the stresses involved in over-committedness and sheer over-work threaten not just to get you off course but to sink you -- that's when this tip for a happy marriage becomes, suddenly, decisive.

  • Episode 263 - Too Weak to Fight

    November 19th, 2018  |  23 mins 12 secs

    One's Christian life will fail if it is not rooted in the truth of human nature, which we all share, like it or not. Similarly, everyone's life, whether Christian or non-Christian or anti-Christian, will fail if it's not rooted in reality.

  • Episode 262 - Magic

    November 19th, 2018  |  22 mins 33 secs

    When it comes to rules or advice for long-term marriage, I often seem to hear words like "covenant" and "promise-keeping". But excellent as they are in principle, these conceptions are insufficient to give you the oomph, the power, to do the thing you both want so much to do.

    We're talking about love today -- wouldn't ya know -- and the relation of divine love to romantic love. It's a familiar, but one that remains very fresh, at least as long as human memory and human loss remain conscious.

    Mrs. Zahl recently used the word "periphery" to describe our attitude, mine and hers, to increasing numbers of institutions, groups, and schools of thought to which we have been attached and for which we have been engaged for a long time.
