    (REPLAY) Old Testament Suffering and Life with God - With Dr. Isabelle Hamley

    (REPLAY) Old Testament Suffering and Life with God - With Dr. Isabelle Hamley

    Oppression, pain, slavery, and trauma are all a part of Israel’s story.  In the midst of this pain God responds.  We sat down with Dr. Isabelle Hamley and discussed how we can learn from Israel’s story and the Old Testament scriptures in regards to mental health.  She answered questions around what the “good life” is, how the biblical text speaks to pain, and how to cultivate a holistic response to pain and trauma.   We hope you enjoy our conversation.

    Encore Coming Alive

    Encore Coming Alive
    We generally belief that “livin’ the good life” means having lots of money to buy all the things that give us pleasure. That’s because we don’t know that pleasure is not the same as joy. We also believe that avoiding difficult (currently called “negative”) emotions is a way to develop a good and happy life. That’s because we do not understand that there’s no such thing as a good or bad emotion—nor do we understand that those emotions that seem the most difficult are frequently the ones that lead us to the capacity for the greatest joy. Coming alive is not a linear upward path to ascendance in which we bliss-out perpetually. Coming alive is the capacity to feel the blood running through your veins, to know the deep crannies and caverns of your existence intimately, so that you begin to sense joy, see joy, breathe joy—by knowing the peace in it ALL. Tune in to learn more about how to come alive.

    The Good Life By Tracy K. Smith

    When some people talk about money

    They speak as if it were a mysterious lover

    Who went out to buy milk and never

    Came back, and it makes me nostalgic

    For the years I lived on coffee and bread,

    Hungry all the time, walking to work on payday

    Like a woman journeying for water

    From a village without a well, then living

    One or two nights like everyone else

    On roast chicken and red wine.




    Poems are green and Poetry is mean.
