Moving Mountains with Ross Byrd

from The Good Life · host TRC Podcast Network

My guest today is Ross Byrd, a writer, musician, surfing instructor. Recently he wrote a series of articles called "On Moving Mountains: Why Miracles are Not What We Think." It captured my imagination and I have been meditating on it for several weeks. It was a delight to talk with Ross about why moving mountains is more than a nice metaphor, why "cause-and-effect" is not as straightforward as we think, and the real reason why God was angry with Moses when he struck the rock rather than spoke to it.  Ross's Writing On Moving Mountains - Part 1 The Cosmic Middleman - Part 2 In the House of Tom Bombadil - Part 3 The Master Soil Tiller
