LukeyoutheU podcasts cohosts
jay marc lisa daniel hass jake photos of cohosts I asked five of my friends to record the LyU podcasts with me because I believe them to live good, interesting lives. I learned much about them, and not a little bit about myself, and life, in the process. I think it likely that listeners will learn about themselves, too. Learn more about what they think, and believe, and perhaps why. a considered life decisions and travels Jay Davidson is a non-religious humanist in his mid-seventies. He has traveled to 127 countries and all 50 of the United States of America; is comfortably retired after teaching for thirty-four years in San Francisco public schools; served for two years in the Peace Corps in the West African country of Mauritania; and has lived/ lives a good life. He talks about the choices he made, why he made them, and recounts many of his travels. 60 episodes some conversations with marc questions Marc Maynon is a singer/ songwriter. He is also an unorthodox Christian who relishes Greek mythology, believes in reincarnation, and wonders, a lot, about life. From reading done recently or research done long ago, and mostly our then-awarenesses and thoughts, he and I ask and give our thinking about a number of questions deep, medium, and big. 50 eps the consciousness shift progressions Lisa Stancati is spiritually awake and moving into embodied mastery. She sees that humanity is in the midst of an evolutionary leap in consciousness; that we are in a seismic shift which affects us all. A lawyer by profession, her life's journey caused her to leave her high-powered position at a well-known media company in her search to know who she is and what she is about. Lisa presents her understanding of life and how that understanding plays out in her physical world. 11 eps (continuing) earliest of days passages Daniel Alexander is a biblical-text-believing Christian who leans towards Calvinism. He and I look, in eod, at the first four chapters of the first book of the Bible, Genesis. We look at them not as scholars or disinterested parties but as two guys who want to know what the Bible can/ does say to us. The chapters we discuss in eod contain foundational, world-affecting stories–stories of the creation of the world, Adam, the Garden of Eden, Eve, the fruit of the tree (usually depicted as an apple), Cain, and Abel. These chapters, Genesis 1–4, set the stage for Judaism and Christianity, as well as other Abrahamic religions. It can also be argued that these stories have influenced/ influence Western culture and the world itself. 4 eps luke's perspective, and ours chapters The same Daniel Alexander and I take a deep-for-nonscholars look at Jesus' life according to the Book of Luke. Luke's account differs in some ways from the other three Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and John). For example, Luke alone traces Jesus' adoptive father's, Joseph's, lineage from Jesus through Abraham all the way back to God (Luke 3:23-38, BibleGateway.com). Luke's account also has the greatest number of Jesus' stories (parables) of the four Gospels, most of them unique to Luke. I love stories; I believe they are how we live, and powerful teaching tools. The ones in Luke, and the story of Jesus presented in Luke, do not disappoint. 28 eps heroes of the bible and the quran champions Hass Sartawi is a practicing Muslim who has read the whole of, and continues to read, the Quran in its original Classical Arabic. I have read the whole Protestant Bible, all sixty-six books of it. I read it in the NIV, a Modern English translation from the oldest available Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Aramaic, and Koine Greek texts. Hass and I discuss, discover, and grow from stories of some of the champions the two holy books share. The two religions have differences, big differences, to be sure; but they also have much in common. Much. 11 eps cohost of the six podcasts episodes Jake Knight is an experiencer and student of life. I have chosen and developed a number of strong beliefs: I think of them as stories which help me make sense of life for me. I do not press my beliefs on anyone. That said, I certainly and actively encourage consideration of them—because I believe they are useful, and good. I offer them through LyU, and, at times, in person, to those interested. 164 episodes, recorded 2017–2024. |
