  Intellectual Friendship with R. J. Snell | Created In The Image of God 250

  May 27, 20261h 13mS0

  <p>R. J. Snell likes to say he’s a farm boy from nowhere. Growing up in Carbon, Alberta—a town of about 360 people—he learned early what it meant to belong to a place where everyone showed up for your little league game and honked the horn, regardless of which church they attended or whether they believed at all. When his parents suggested he probably wasn’t cut out to be a farmer and should “keep going to school,” they set him on a path that would eventually lead through philosophy, teaching, and into his role today as Director of Academic...

  Elephants, the Grass & the Teacher with Chinyere Egbe | Created In The Image of God 249

  May 25, 202654 minS0

  <p>When wars are told in history books, the focus is usually on generals, presidents, and borders. Chinyere Emmanuel Egbe insists the real story lies elsewhere. A Nigerian‑born economist and long‑time CUNY professor who has spent decades teaching statistics and finance in Brooklyn, Dr. Egbe is also the author of Elephants, the Grass and the Teacher, a memoir of growing up during the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). In it, he uses a simple image to describe what he saw: the “elephants” — ruling establishments and military elites — decide when wars start and end, but it is the “grass,” the masses of ordinary people...

  From Grief to Gratitude with Steven Ferrara | Created In The Image of God 247

  May 18, 202648 minS0

  <p>On paper, Steven Ferrara had the kind of life many people dream about. Born into a poor but tightly knit Italian family in Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, he grew up surrounded by Sunday dinners, grandparents in the basement kitchen, and a home full of love. A spiritual seeker from his teens—studying universal principles, practicing Transcendental Meditation, and devouring teachings on consciousness—he went straight into business at 18, eventually building one of the largest privately held financial services firms in the Northeast. By mid‑life he had a thriving career, a beautiful home, a loving wife, and three children.Then, in...

  Shapes of Love with Michael Gungor | Created In The Image of God 246

  May 13, 20261h 15mS0

  <p>For years, many knew Michael Gungor as a worship leader and the creative force behind the band Gungor. Today, he’s just as likely to call himself a “creative mystic,” experimenting with ambient soundscapes, podcasts, and a forthcoming book, The Shape of Things. Underneath the changing forms, one question has stayed constant: What is the real shape of reality—and how do you live in tune with it?In this episode, Michael reflects on a theme he sees running through Jesus’ teaching and the wider mystical tradition: “You’ve seen it this way, but it’s actually upside down.” For him, the shape...
