   EP# 340 - The Spiritual Reality We’ve Forgotten How to See with Brian Zahnd - Audio

   What if the Christian conversation about heaven has become too escapist, sensationalized, or sentimental? In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, author and pastor Brian Zahnd joins Catherine to explore themes from his book “Unseen Existences” and recover a deeper understanding of heaven, the unseen realm, spiritual formation, and our pilgrimage toward union with God. Brian describes heaven not simply as a distant location but as an eternal, unseen reality—and explores how our lives in this present world form us for deeper participation in God. Together, Catherine and Brian discuss the “already and not yet,” the spiritual significance of our everyday journey, and why there are no shortcuts in genuine spiritual formation. They also explore wonder and beauty as powerful ways of becoming more awake to God. From watching stars and bats in the backyard to intentionally noticing beauty on an ordinary drive through suburbia, Brian explains how wonder can awaken gratitude and reconnect us with realities we often overlook. The conversation moves into Christian aesthetics, spiritual experiences, prayer, imagination, technology, the false self, and the mystery of becoming who God created us to be. In this conversation, you’ll discover: • Why Brian believes Christians need a renewed theology of heaven • How this life functions as a pilgrimage toward union with God • Why wonder can become a spiritual practice • How beauty can point us toward the divine • Why ordinary spiritual experiences deserve meaningful conversation • How our humanity connects the physical and spiritual worlds • Why technology cannot replace our relationship with God • How imagination can help us become attentive to the unseen realm • Why holy awe—the “mysterium tremendum”—matters in spiritual formation Perspectives with Catherine Toon explores conversations that invite deeper encounters with God, spiritual transformation, love, truth, beauty, and what it means to live fully awake to His presence.

Catherine talks about the importance of pulling back, being refreshed and reoriented, and learning to receive rather than always being the one who gives. She shares encouragement for anyone walking through uncertainty, disappointment, hardship, or a dark season — reminding us that God is faithful, that He is working even when we cannot see what He is doing, and that it is not over. This episode explores rest in God, identity in Christ, spiritual growth, healing, hope, and the glory that God is revealing in His people. Catherine also reflects on Jesus' time in the wilderness, the importance of supporting one another through difficult seasons, and the call for believers to become agents of love, restoration, healing, hope, and redemption. In this episode, you'll be encouraged to: • Find rest and refreshment in God's presence • Trust God when circumstances don't look the way you expected • Remember who you are and whose you are • Recognize God's work even in difficult seasons • Embrace the power of community and supporting one another • Step into the next season of what God is revealing Timecodes 0:00 - Returning From Sabbatical 03:07 The Power of God's Faithfulness 05:58 The Journey of Transformation 08:54 The Importance of Community Support 12:04 Looking Ahead: New Beginnings To support the ministry with tax-deductible donations: https://catherinetoon.com/support/ Marked by Love, Revised & Expanded Edition is here:
