Karen Keen on Soul-Freedom, the Bible, and Authenticity in the Spiritual Life
<p>We're talking about "Soul Freedom" in this episode where I interview writer, scholar, and contemplative Karen Keen. We discuss scripture as a tool formation (rather than as a rule book), cultivating a contemplative practice is a busy world, and engaging a faith that involves our whole selves. What I most appreciate about this episode is that Karen gives us permission to be unfinished, to embrace a faith that is still in process, and to trust that God will for us is exactly what we need (and want).</p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>Introduction 00:00 - 04:26</p><p>Meet Karen Keen 04:26 - 09:38</p><p>The Bible Beyond Prooftexting 09:38 - 13:25</p><p>The Bible As Life-giving Word of God 13:25 - 19:51</p><p>Conscience and Contemplation 19:51 - 33:15</p><p>Christlike Acceptance in the Church 33:15 - 38:23</p><p>Karen's Book Recommendation and Gratitude 38:23 - 48:02</p><p>Reflection, Gratitude, and Closing 48:02 - 59:07</p><p><strong>Resources Referenced and Recommended:</strong></p><p>By Karen Keen</p><p>Scripture, Ethics, and the Possibility of Same-Sex Relationships</p><p>The Bible and Sexuality</p><p>Discussed During the Episode</p><p>Brown Church by Robert Chao Romero</p><p>Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman</p><p>Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport</p><p><strong>About Our Guest</strong></p><p>Karen Keen is a theologian, spiritual director, and author whose work focuses on biblical interpretation, spiritual formation, theology, and Christian ethics.

The Ballot and the Gospel
<p><strong>The Ballot and the Gospel</strong></p><p>While renewing his driver’s license online, Marcus Halley lingers over a question about updating voter registration which sparks his exploration of Christian faith, voting rights, and how to live faithfully without surrendering the gospel to partisan identity. Drawing on his religious upbringing, family stories, and political formation in college, he argues that voting rights are primarily about human dignity. The Church's work in our time is to form disciples marked by courage, humility, compassion, and justice. In a moment shaped by January 6, weakened Voting Rights Act protections, and eroding democratic norms, he urges moral witness rooted in love rather than fear.</p><p>00:00 DMV Question Sparks Pause</p><p>02:25 Roots in Black Struggle</p><p>06:33 The Bible Is Political</p><p>12:03 Why Voting Rights Matter</p><p>19:55 Returning to the DMV Question</p><p>21:57 Gratitude and Farewell</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Cameron Nations on Discernment, Vocation, and Becoming Human
<p><strong>Cameron Nations on Discernment, Vocation, and Becoming Human</strong></p><p>In this episode of Everyday Liturgist, Marcus Halley interview Cameron Nation, Canon for Vocations and Community Engagement in the Diocese of Alabama. Together they draw the wisdom of Rowan Williams, Marcus's experience of public discernment in the Western Massachusetts bishop election, and Cameron's experience cultivating leaders in Alabama to reflect on the church as a prayerful community of mutual discernment and grace-filled giftedness. They discuss discernment as ongoing, communal, and transformative, not mere decision-making, and critique consumer approaches to ministry. The episode closes by reframing vocation as learning “to be” and reflect God’s love and joy rather than chasing happiness, inviting the question: “Who would you have me be?”00:00 Introduction</p><p>03:15 Meet Cameron Nations</p><p>04:40 Interview with Cameron Nations</p><p>08:00 Discernment is about clarity not ordination</p><p>17:40 What Discernment Means</p><p>21:39 Discernment and Discipleship</p><p>28:14 Universal Christian Vocation</p><p>35:48 Young Adults Seek Meaning</p><p>42:36 Gratitude and Closing</p><p>45:23 Reflection</p><p>53:00 Closing Gratitude and Blessing</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
