Ellen Hartwell and John Warren will be doing an hour-long show called Jesus For The Rest Of Us. This is our attempt to reclaim Jesus for those of us put off by the superhero, hippie or catch all saviour presented by so many modern churches. None of these narratives of Jesus appeal to many otherwise spiritually minded people. Can we find a way back to a "Christ" we can experience without dumbing ourselves down, acting out of fear , or needing cover for choices we regret? Can we rediscover Jesus' teachings, his passions, his life and, yes, the story of his death and resurrection from a more metaphysical, less dogmatic place? Ellen and John are going to try. We will not agree ( or disagree) on all things. Please join us for our spirited discussions on Jesus For The Rest Of Us.

Do we act like ostriches and stick our heads in the sand to avoid seeing what we don't want to see? Ostriches don't actually do that, by the way. Acutally, they are pushing their eggs around when you see their heads in the sand! None-theless, do we hide from truth or unpleasantness? Do we deny consensual reality becase we are metaphysicians and above "the world"? Join John Warren and Ellen Hartwell as they discuss this urgent topic today. ellenhartwell.com
