This episode of The Sacred Everywhere features Jim Palmer. Jim and I met a couple of years ago at ORTCON (Open & Relational Theology Conference, and I’ll be speaking there again next week.
We covered a lot of ground in part 1, including:
* Jim’s journey from megachurch pastor to an expert on religious trauma and deconstruction
* Meaning and existential health
* What are the core components of existential health?
In part 2 we:
* Went deeper into the idea of if there is objective meaning in the world
* Talked about the 10 Religious Ideas We No Longer Need to Believe
* The human problems that religious ideas try to solve
* The fact that those human problems don’t go away when we shed religious baggage and/or traditions
