On Living in a Friendly Universe

from The Pocket Contemplative · host Dave Schmelzer

Most of us, in the end, experience two fundamental emotions. When the wind of life feels at our back, we feel great. When it feels in our face, we feel anxious and stressed. Both the Bible and the great spiritual teachers tell us that the way to experience the good one of these is mystical and comes by pursuing the kind of spiritual practice that empowers God to bring us everything we need--all on God's own initiative. Join Dave Schmelzer as he explores deep teaching along these lines from Jesus and St. Paul and famous preachers and pop spirituality and, okay, the new streaming comedy, Ted Lasso. Mentioned on this podcast:Norman Vincent Peale and Robert SchullerFather Thomas KeatingIsaiah 64:4; Matthew 6:33; 1 Corinthians 13:13; Galatians 5:19-23The Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso
