Often Christianity is thought of as a solution to a problem, but what happens if we think of it as a problem posed to all flimsy solutions? The world offers dreams, fantasies, promises, banquets, but these are often far from satisfying. To this, Christianity offers the logic of the Eucharist, which subverts the logic that tries to cure the disease without properly understanding what the disease is. In this episode, I refer to Shaun Achor's The Happiness Advantage, Anthony De Mello's Awareness, and Paul Tillich's Shaking the Foundations. And for good measure, I also reference Simone Weil, Bruce Cockburn, the book of Genesis and a bit of Greek mythology.
