Welcome to the Liminal Living Podcast, where we dive deep into the realm of liminal spaces—those transitional phases where uncertainty is our companion. I'm your host and curator of conversations, Dr. Tom Rundel, and it's my pleasure to serve as your guide through these uncharted territories. With a doctoral background in spirituality and leadership from Portland Seminary, my research has centered on the spirituality found in the narratives of liminality in the Bible, but I have expanded my research to include other faith traditions and cognitive science. Since our launch in 2023, we've been dedicated to exploring the nuances of dark nights and deconstructions, but our journey expanded to include insights from a diverse array of modern-day thinkers and artists. Through a blend of stories, practices, and perspectives, we provide valuable guidance for fellow travelers navigating their own liminal spaces. So, join us as we embark on this journey and embrace the uncertainty in order to uncover the hidden wisdom that lies within the liminal spaces of life.

139: Matt Tebbe: Reimagining God Beyond Empire Economics Pt 2 of 2
In this two part conversation, Tom Rundel and Matt Tebbe explore the intersections of adventure, community, and the challenges faced by modern pastors. They discuss the importance of genuine hope versus toxic positivity, the complexities of navigating political issues within ministry, and the moral dilemmas that arise in a world influenced by capitalism and Christian nationalism. Through personal anecdotes and philosophical reflections, they delve into the vital role of community support and the need for pastors to find meaning in their work amidst societal chaos. In this conversation, Matt Tebbe and Tom Rundel explore the complex relationship between self-interest, capitalism, and the teachings of Christianity. They discuss how the Kingdom of God operates on principles of grace rather than merit, and how societal structures often conflict with spiritual teachings. The dialogue delves into the implications of Christian nationalism, the impact of Enlightenment thought on religious practices, and the need for Christians to critically examine their relationship with capitalism and systemic issues. They also share practical examples of how individuals and communities can challenge the dominant economic narratives and engage in meaningful experiments to align their lives more closely with the values of the Kingdom of God
