Living Our Beliefs: Exploring Faith & Religion in Daily Life

著者: Meli Solomon the Talking with God Project
  • サマリー

  • Religion and faith are important for millions of people worldwide. While ancient traditions can provide valuable beliefs and values for life, it can be hard to apply them to our lives today. And yet, weaving them into our days can bring benefits––greater meaning in life, more alignment between our beliefs and our actions, and deeper personal connection to our faiths and each other.

    In Living Our Beliefs, we delve into where and how practicing Jews, Christians, and Muslims express their faith each day––at work, at home, and out in public––so that together we can see the familiar and unfamiliar in new ways. Learning from other religions and denominations invites us to notice similarities and differences––how much we have in common and how enriching the differences can be. Comparing beliefs and practices can prompt us to be more curious and open to other people, reducing the natural challenge of encountering the Other. Every person’s life and religious practice is unique. Join us on this journey of discovery and reflection.

  • Is a Loving God in the Brokenness and Darkness? – Will Berry
    2024/11/14

    Episode 81.
    When you are swamped by tragedy and darkness, when all you are seeing is broken and the worst that society has to offer, what does your faith offer you? For Will Berry, a paramedic for 14 years, his Christian faith provides a loving God, and the presence of light in the situation, perhaps his own God-given skills and ability are the light in the darkness.

    This is the first half of my conversation with Will. The second half will be released in two weeks.

    Highlights:
    · Will Berry's religious background – core beliefs and changing denominations

    · The tension between the theoretical understanding of faith and real-world challenges.

    · God is all-powerful; faith bridges the mysterious gaps.

    · Being compassionate and attentive in emergencies.

    · Handling chaotic situations involving crime, addiction, and mental health.

    · The role of faith in providing light in dark situations – being an instrument of light and hope


    Bio:
    Will Berry has been in EMS for 14 years. He currently works as a flight paramedic in North Carolina, but has spent the majority of his career as a paramedic on an ambulance responding to 911 calls in a busy city. He has been a Christian since a young age and is heavily influenced by his faith and spiritual journey. He is married and is the father to two young girls. In addition to working in EMS he has been a whitewater rafting guide, ski patroller, and wilderness guide in the rocky mountains.

  • Tying the Knot in Faith (Bonus)
    2024/11/07

    Episode 80. [Bonus.]
    Wedding ceremonies are universal and central to many religious and cultural groups. But they vary widely. In this conversation with four guests from different religious traditions – Judaism, Mormonism, Islam and the Baha'i faith – we explore the role of the officiant, who that is, the role of the Divine, contracts and other things. This conversation grew out of the Elevate Podcasting summit hosted by BYU Broadcasting. Steve Perry, host of their In Good Faith podcast, has joined me in co-hosting this discussion.


    Highlights:
    · Is a religious leader required?

    · Role of the Divine in wedding ceremonies

    · Marriage contracts

    · Cultural and religious

    · Till death do us part or for eternity
