Bierkergaard: The Writings of Soren Kierkegaard
"The Father of Existentialism" Danish writer, poet, philosopher, and Christian thinker Soren Kierkegaard, has much to teach us about our lives. Join me weekly as we take on his writings and think about how his brilliant and profound insights illuminate our way in a complicated and confusing world. I contribute a considerable amount of my own processing of Soren’s ideas and add my own personal experiences. As Soren would wish his readers to do. This is spiritual insight and truth for the real world.

Men at Podcast (with Soren)
OK, I couldn’t resist spoofing the Aussie Band popular in the U.S. back in the day “Men At Work.” Today’s episode is with my Australian friend Ryan Ross who I have come to know through our mutual affection for Soren Kierkegaard. We talk about a lot of topics including Philosophical Fragments, Leap of Faith, Knight of Faith, and Love. Plus, a reference to Ultimate Frisbee which was totally unexpected. Thanks Ryan for being an encouragement to me with the podcast. You are a cool dude. Besides that weird accent. Ha-ha.

He Must Increase, I Must Decrease
Soren writes, “As soon as a human being is born, he begins to die.” That awareness grants us the understanding of how our time is limited in duration in this world. And point to He whose increase is ours in eternity if we put our hopes in Him.

Heaven’s salvation has an eternal overweight. Experience, of course, understands weights and measures. Only heaven’s salvation knows how to comfort beyond all measure.

Update: Spotify & Riverside
Spotify announced it is ending its podcast creation and editing platform tonight at midnight. It will still host podcasts. Spotify now has a collaboration with an application called Riverside which is “supposed” to provide the platform for the creating and editing functions of podcasts and then to then post episodes into Spotify and other podcasting platforms like Apple and etc. As I mention in this episode, Spotify and Riverside appear to be having tech glitches with the two not working together as they should right now. Hopefully, they’ll iron out the issues but that is out of my control. So, if my podcast on Wednesday is not posted, it is likely going to be because of tech problems that are not within my domain to fix. Stay tuned and thanks again for listening!
