Ep 38 - Conversion, Parables, and Dreams - October 26, 2025

30th Sunday in The Kingdom of Heaven is Now Time. We ask ourselves (and you) several questions: What does it mean for me to repent? What was a moment of conversion in my life? We wonder about how Paul forgave himself and integrated his own conversion experience after being struck down in Damascus. Here is one possible timeline of events.  We talk about prayer, the "Way of the Pilgrim" and his prayer, and prayer mantras.We explore the paradoxical nature of parables and compare them to dreams.
