I do a lot of work on the nature of meaning, meaning in life, and how that relates to transformative experience, how it relates to a sense of the sacred, about how it's often carried in non-propositional kinds of knowing. And of course, these are topics that overlap deeply with people's religious lives and the religious practice. And I'm interested in how we can

I'm going to use this word, realize this text as sacred again, because the second hat I'm wearing is I believe there's a meaning crisis. I've talked at length about that. And I believe that there's an advent of the sacred happening right now in response to the meaning crisis. I feel deeply vocationally called to be in service to this. And so I want to...

get into a relationship with this figure that recaptures how Jesus is strange, not in a pejorative sense, but the way I have found Socrates, another one of my heroes, to be profoundly strange in a way that has been deeply transformative for me. And so, I'm hoping that in this, that I can take a role I'm not a believer. I'm not a Christian. I'm not an atheist. I'm a non-theist.

John. Yeah, I want to pick up on the fact that there's actually, I call them the four L's about God. There's love, agape. There's logos. There's light and life.

And if we think about all of these, they're pointing, well to me, they're pointing to something very radical here. They're asking us to get out of a normal way in which we think about reality in terms of stable, substantial, independently existing objects. All of these are inherently relational realities.
