Reflecting on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I share how his writings saved me as a young teenager navigating the astronomical racial tensions of 1960s Milwaukee. I’m unpacking his profound idea of a "soul generated by love," exploring how a heart full of grace is the only true requirement for greatness. We often mistake our lives for a competition, thinking we have to conquer others or win arguments, but a soul lit up by love knows how to pause, listen, and refuse the "dance of enmity."

I also dive into the concept of Love and Tolerance as a code for living. Using the world of engineering as a metaphor, I explain how we must be like skyscrapers or bridges—built with the "tolerance" to bend and bounce in the gale-force winds of strife without ever breaking.

The episode concludes with a practical moment of centering: a breathing exercise to inhale love and exhale fear, and a challenge to use the three most "holy and magical" words we have: I love you. We don't have the guarantee of time, so the moment to be present, flexible, and kind is right now.

This world can feel like a dangerous place—not just because of those who do evil, but because of the rest of us who see it and do nothing. In this episode, we cut through the noise and get to the heart of what it truly means to live a life that matters.

I’m here to talk about The Way of Love, and I believe it demands three things from us: Kindness, Action, and Change. It’s not a soft or passive idea. It’s a courageous path that requires us to listen when we want to fight, to move when we want to stay comfortable, and to transform ourselves before we try to change the world.

We’ll explore why lovers—not just theologians—know the most about God, and how practicing simple, daily kindness can disarm conflict and build something beautiful. I’ll share why saying “I love you” is a sacred contract, and why the biggest mistake we make is thinking we still have time to start.

If you’re tired of the bait-and-switch and hungry for a faith that is alive, active, and authentically kind, this conversation is for you. Let’s get up and do something beautiful in this weary world.

In this episode, I’d like to share something I believe is essential for our time: the evolution of love. Love isn’t static—when it stands still, it stops being love at all. Just as humanity has grown in strength, understanding, technology, and faith, so too must our grasp of love deepen, widen, and mature.

I’ll reflect on how our understanding of God, Scripture, and human relationships has gently unfolded over the centuries, and why clinging to a rigid, paper-thin version of faith can trap us in fear, violence, and division. Even the Bible reveals this beautiful movement—from bloodshed toward transformation, from swords toward plowshares. That evolution doesn’t happen by chance; it happens as we grow.

Drawing from my own marriage, from history, Scripture, and mystics like Teilhard de Chardin, I invite you to imagine what it could mean to truly harness the energies of love—to let love grow up, demand less, listen more, and refuse to “bait and switch.” This isn’t about leaving faith behind, but about growing up within it. Love that evolves becomes credible, powerful, and truly world-changing.

Consider this episode an invitation to breathe deeply, lay down the sword, and grow into a love that is patient, nonviolent, free from condemnation, and fully alive. Our future depends on it.
