Sometimes, we judge others by their actions, but we judge ourselves by our intentions. For me, the more that I know about someone else’s intentions, the more that I understand their actions.

I appeared on the (A)Theist podcast with Erin Sucher-O'Grady and Kelley Weber.

We develop insight when we deconstruct, since we know how we used to think and how we now think. We can either use that insight to fan the flames or to fight the fire. I want to be a firefighter.

We can learn a lot by subjecting our beliefs to thought experiments. In The Way, thought experiments are some of the most challenging and interesting parts of the book.

I appeared on the Latter-day Faith podcast with Terri Petersen.

Nothing intrinsically exists apart from everything else. This is a concept that appears in both Eastern mysticism and quantum physics.

I appeared on The Storied Human podcast with Lynne Thompson.

I appeared on the True Story Live podcast with Jason and Jennifer Cripps.

Creativity and spirituality have a lot in common. My wife, Jill, an artist, recently spoke at a Unitarian Universalist church on "Creativity and Spirituality."

I am impressed by the compassion and wisdom of other traditions. Different beliefs and practices can be insightful and enriching.

Do you wonder why people leave church? Just ask them. Do NOT rely on the assumptions that those who are still in church make about those who have left church.

Readers teach me a lot about the challenges of religious deconstruction. Religious deconstruction involves reexamining beliefs and practices.

Spiritual inquiry requires open-heartedness and open-mindedness. Many seekers appreciate appreciate different interpretations and tolerate varying worldviews. Nobody knows the answers to the big questions.

Every year, we “unplug” for a month in the spring and a month in the fall. Our unplugged life is more essential, joyful, meaningful, and natural.

The Way, common to many religions, is a way of life, grounded in the Golden Rule, not a way of belief.

I appeared on The Dismantling Doctrine podcast with Clint Heacock. 

I appeared on The Spiritual Brewpub podcast with Michael Camp.

Our spiritual practice should focus on our interrelatedness.
