In this episode we discuss radical theology with author, philosopher and storyteller Peter Rollins. Peter explores the freedom that comes when we accept and embrace the lack within us and the struggle within life. He believes that letting go of the frenetic pursuit of that which will make us whole and complete opens the way to accepting the lack within and finding enjoyment within the struggles of life. From this place of freedom we find God in the act of love, the depth dimension of our experiences, and in a continual transformative conversation. After the interview Nomad hosts Jemimah McAlpine and David Blower ponder the implications of Pete's philosophy and theology for their own faith journey. Interview starts at 14m 53s Nomad can only keep going because a small group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
