Today: A Quaker Message

Sometimes I speak at my Quaker meeting. Thee Quaker Podcast asked me to record one of my messages and they also interviewed me about it before and after. The podcast episode includes both my message and some chit chat about it.
One thing about being a Quaker, I’m free to define God in ways that work for me. I’m encouraged to listen to “the light within.” Quakers don’t tell you what to do. Quakers don’t take oaths. So this message, like all my messages, explores a new way to think of God and asks questions.
If you’re curious about Quakers, you might check out Thee Quaker Podcast and listen to the episode: Who Are Modern Quakers? All the episodes are terrific. Very professional. And provocative. As their website says: “Trust us… for a group of people known for sitting quietly in worship, things can get kind of wild.” For me, Quaker practice offers a peaceful alternative to the busy, combative, seemingly shallow world that I’m often in.
If you’re curious about my other Quaker messages, I’ve recorded many of them at a place called Craig’s Quaker Messages. At that website you can also find the longer, unedited version of What if God is the Rest of Your Body? They cut it down quite a bit for the podcast. The longer version has a twist at the end.
Let me know what you think, or what you're wondering.
