After losing his marriage, home, and church career in his forties, Tony found refuge outdoors, where a new spirituality slowly replaced the faith he had once known inside church walls.\nTogether, they reflect on what our disconnection from land, food, and death has cost us, and widen the conversation to the collapse of institutional Christianity itself. As old sources of spiritual authority lose their hold, Victoria and Tony wonder what might emerge in their place, and how we might find new language, community, and practices for encountering the sacred in relationship with one another and the more-than-human world.\n\nConnect with [guest:\nWebsite: reverendhunter.com\nSubstack: jonestony.substack.com\nBook: The God of Wild Places\nNovel TrilogyOut now: Son of Helena: Constantine the Great, Book I\nOut now: In This Sign: Constantine the Great, Book II\nPre-order: The Thirteenth Apostle: Constantine the Great, Book III\nMentioned in the episode:\nArticle: Opinion | Don’t forget ― the Boundary Waters are still under threat by Tony Jones\nBook: The Great Emergence: How Christianity Is Changing and Why by Phyllis Tickle \nWebsite: thenonesproject.com\nArticle: Pascal Was Wrong: There (Probably) Is No God-Shaped Hole by Tony Jones\nBook: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel \nConnect with the Center:\nWebsite: wildspirituality.earth\nVictoria's Website: victorialoorz.com\nEmail: hello@wildspirituality.earth\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ctrforwildspirituality\nInstagram: @center_for_wild_spirituality\nTimestamps:\n00:00 Introduction\n05:07 Interview Begins\n08:34 Hunting and Predation\n16:44 Necessary Collapse\n21:22 The Spiritual Climate of Today\n25:01 The Crisis of Authority\n28:35 Spiritual Containers\n36:18 Tony's Wild Edge\n43:13 Wild Invitation...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/7HzH9zp06kPt1-QRAfelWzEF5snXN59veGgjaerriqo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84ZjAz/YTRjNTQ0YTQ0YmE5/ODgzYjA2MTM2NjEw/NzJmZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
