Announcing the Shattering Triangles Podcast

After several years of working on content, Todd McLauchlin, Josh Chandler and I are launching a group podcast/YouTube channel. We’ve released a few videos already. You can check that out here.

The name of the project comes from an analogy Todd wrote to outline the Lord’s way of teaching us: You can imagine you live in a home with no windows and doors, and you’ve never been outside. The Lord comes to you and tells you there are mountains outside, which confuses you. Seeing your confusion, He then tells you that there are great big triangles outside—which is a concept you understand. However, with time, the Lord must come back and tell you that they aren’t actually triangles, but something more irregular and complex. And it’s important to understand that the Lord wasn’t lying to you in the beginning—He was framing a concept in your own understanding.

There are many true things that the Lord has to come and “shatter” to provide us something better—the next step in our learning. If we resist the change and cling to what we have, our “triangle” can also become a stumbling block (e.g. “a bible! A bible! We have got a bible”). We plan to tackle several such triangles—beliefs that are helpful on one level, but are limited on another—with the hope of increasing your faith in Lord’s way of teaching you.

You can also come join the online discussion here.

These things are still in their early stages, so there hasn’t been too much put out thus far. I hope you’ll join us!
