254. Radically Personal: How Divine Reality Reveals Itself In Every Spiritual Journey
Manage episode 515252622 series 2821006
Radically Personal is a new series exploring how divine reality reveals itself within the lives of individual seekers. Based on Dr. Jerry L. Martin’s newest book, Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the series invites listeners to rethink what it means to encounter the divine as intimately present and personally responsive. Each episode follows the unfolding conversation between human experience and transcendent reality, uncovering how theology itself must evolve to meet a pluralistic, spiritually awake world.
In this premiere episode, “How Divine Reality Reveals Itself in Every Spiritual Journey,” Jerry begins with a simple but profound truth: reality discloses itself. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and lived experience, he explores how ultimate reality — or what we might call God — has revealed itself across times, cultures, and religious traditions.
Through stories like missionary Kenneth Cracknell’s awakening in Nigeria and reflections on Abraham Joshua Heschel’s life-seeking theology, Jerry challenges traditional boundaries and invites a new kind of understanding. Theology Without Walls, he argues, is not just a scholarly ideal but a way of life: the quest to orient one’s being toward the ultimate source of meaning.
Hosted by Scott Langdon, this episode introduces listeners to a living philosophy of faith — one that honors revelation wherever it occurs and asks how each of us might find our own access point to the divine.
✨ Listen as theology becomes personal, revelation becomes universal, and the search for God becomes the search for your truest self.
