110. Feral Spirits: What Beer and Whiskey Teach Us about an Untamable God (ft. Ben Price)
Description
Life is fragile, unpredictable, and often terrifying. Fear makes sense. But fear doesn’t get the final word. In this conversation, Ben Price introduces us to feral Spirit—the untamed presence of God that responds to suffering with a quiet and defiant “yeah, but.” While religion tries to capture, copy, and commodify, the Spirit refuses to be managed, showing up in ways, places, and people we least expect.
This episode has it all. From nerdy theology chats to a guided whiskey tasting, we explore how play, wonder, and shared moments with loved ones can be some of the most faith-filled responses to daily life in a world that keeps trying to beat us down. And Ben closes us out by bringing fresh poetry to the table that challenges us to see hope, joy, and spirituality in ways we never before imagined.
