God or Nothing: Why Modernity Nihilistically Worships the Self

​Welcome to Meaning-Making 101 where we explore the crisis of meaning in our world today, and how we may help usher in an awakening from it.

In this episode we consider the thinking of theologian David Bentley Hart, and his thoughts on the nihilism of modernity, its causes, and the solution that a post-post-modern, or meta-modern view of Christianity provides.

This continues our exploration of metamodern spirituality, which can be defined as an approach to spiritual practice that highlights a "return to the sacred" in a way that feels authentic in our fragmented, post-secular world, blending traditional wisdom with modern insights to foster a deeper, more adaptive sense of purpose and transcendence.

Stay Tuned! At the end of this episode we take a look at some of the actual Good News going on in the world in our GOOD NEWS ROUNDUP!

Join us as we consider how we may cultivate the wisdom to see beyond the narrowness of tribalist and essentialist perceptions of reality, and change this world from the inside-out!
