Connecting To Deeper Meanings

Welcome to the Well Dwellers Podcast, where we journey deep beneath the surfaces of disability, dignity, and the hope in a shared community that explores the places where transformation begins and life endures.In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Michael Morelli—Assistant Professor of Theology, Culture & Ethics at Northwest Seminary & College in British Columbia, Canada. Michael brings a great depth of thought shaped by his work in theological ethics and cultural experience, particularly within the disabled community. But what makes this conversation so rich is how personal and reflective he becomes while sharing his own story and history with disability.At The Bottom Of The Well is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Together, we dive into the metaphors, influences, and lived experiences that have shaped our lives and communal initiatives. We talk candidly about the struggles of building inclusive communities in a world marked by trauma, diverse differences, ableism, and the isolating forces of idealized individualism. And we wrestle with the tensions of discomfort in discipleship, and what it means to be truly present—with our bodies, with each other, and with the language we use to connect and make sense of it all.It’s a conversation about faith, formation, and the messy, beautiful work of being human together.So settle in. Let’s dwell together and connect with the deeper meanings we find in Michael’s and my conversation.Resources:Personalist Manifesto: The Lazarus Project: https://www.thelazaruscentre.org/Northwest Seminary & College: https://nbseminary.ca/about/faculty-and-staff/michael-morelli/Michael’s Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mchlmorelli.bsky.social Get full access to At The Bottom Of The Well at www.atthebottomofthewell.com/subscribe
