Announcing the show is on hiatus for the month of October, 2022.
Welcome to my podcast, Peace, Love, & Understanding.
I am a believer, wandering in the wilderness, rethinking and re-examining some long-held beliefs. Wandering, but not lost. In the meantime, I want to be with other not-lost wanderers. I'm a Christian who believes that the words and the work of Jesus are just as relevant to the 21st century as they were to the first century. I believe he speaks to us and to all our concerns, life and death and everything in between: ideas, art, beauty, nature, work, play, books, movies, music, history, governance -- everything -- and most importantly, our connection to him and to one another.
But I think his people are in a shambles. The edifice of institutional Christianity is crumbling, not in its foundation, but from the top, where leaders and shepherds have turned so much of the beautiful thing Jesus created and intends for us into a political action committee, and a religious empire, and a business franchise. I’ve been thinking hard about how people who love and follow Jesus can perhaps help clean up this mess, see and think more clearly, listen more, and return to the beauty and simplicity of the life and the work -- and the mission -- that Jesus calls us to.
If that piques your interest, why don’t you listen in? I am talking with people who are speaking the truth in love, or least the glimpses of truth that they have found and we can benefit from. I want to dialog rather than debate, in hopes of finding a better way forward for our faith in this century.
Regardless of your journey or your beliefs, you're invited to join us. I think it'll be interesting. And I think it'll be fun. Come check us out.
Steve Dehner (With music under):
Hi, I'm Steve Dehner, host of Peace, Love, and Understanding, an audio-eclectic and multipod podcast. If you are watching this video, then you are listening to this week's episode. And if you are listening to this week's episode, I want to let you know that this is basically an announcement that I'm going to be on a brief hiatus for the month of October, and we'll be back in November. I will be out of the country a couple of weeks and I have a number of projects that need attending to that will claim the time that I usually set aside for producing this podcast. I am a one-person operation here in Peace, Love, and Understanding Land. So: No Steve, no podcast.
This really highlights the value of subscribing to the podcast. When you subscribe, you'll be notified the next time I publish an episode. You can forget about me while I'm gone. But I want you to meet me back here next month, okay? So, please subscribe. And if you know anybody who you think would like it, please tip them off to Peace, Love, and Understanding. Thanks.
You can really boost the show, and my mood beyond it's every day effervescence, by writing me on Facebook Messenger, which you can do from the podcast Facebook page, which can be found at facebook.com/SteveDehnerPodcast. This is a page that you can like and/or follow, and you can comment on it. And you can watch more videos like this, stay up to date on the show, hear little messages about episodes, and other things that may be happening over here in my little corner of the world. You could also send an email to: podcast @stevedehner.com.
I appreciate everyone who's listening in and I'd love to hear from you. Thanks. See you next month.
Outro (with music): Peace, Love, Understanding.
