Seeking the Hidden Thing Podcast

I managed to secure the audio for the sermon I posted and gave on Sunday. It ended up being 42 minutes. I think I need to work on shaving my sermon lengths down a little, although the feedback was positive. I think I am going to post it here as an audio only video here and let Substack convert the video into an audio podcast on their app and to send out to place like Apple and Spotify. I am thinking, why should only the meagre YouTube audience get to see the nice video and intros and outros? Since there is no loss in terms of podcast availability and functionality, and some of you said you prefer the video, even if it is only a static pic, so I will just have to get over my fixation on the consistency of my numbers — a “managerial” fixation if there ever was one.

This is the reading of my recent piece appearing in American Reformer. It was a long article and many of you prefer to listen rather than read the lengthier ones.You can find the written version here: https://americanreformer.org/2025/04/revealing-the-city-of-god/Sponsorship Partners: https://axios-remote-fitness-coaching.kit.com/42cbb1575c This is a public episode.

Rather than try to record my recent Lenten sermon, the text of which I recently shared, I instead managed to procure the audio from when I preached it live. So, this is what I sound like from the pulpit. Enjoy.Here is the written version: https://www.seekingthehiddenthing.com/p/seek-the-lord-while-he-might-be-found This is a public episode.

In this engaging conversation, The Black Horse, a writer specializing in political and social issues from a Christian viewpoint, explores the profound themes of forgiveness during Holy Week. He unpacks the complexities of forgiveness within the Christian community, especially in the wake of heinous acts, while addressing its intersection with justice and societal expectations. The discussion highlights the spiritual imperative of forgiveness, advocating for personal reconciliation that fosters community healing and challenges cycles of vengeance.

Dimes and I have a meandering and wide ranging conversation about his notion of “first principles.” The idea is, in any community, if you were to boil things down to the one or two things that bind you together, what would they be? These are your “first principles.” I first came across the idea reading his recent piece over at his own Substack, The Vanguardist Journal.Note: I am trying something new, uploading the podcast directly as a video in the hopes that it simplifies the uploading process overall. Because I had to split the video and audio to properly process the audio, I don’t think the StreamYard bubbles are perfectly lined up this time. If you like this format, let me know. I should still be available as a downloadable podcast on this app as well as other platforms. If everything goes right, I should go straight to YouTube.Note: Dimes can be a little earthy with his language.

Charles Haywood and I connect for a conversation about a recent tweet of mine suggesting that Trump administration messaging is just as manipulative and propagandistic as the previous administration. Charles disagreed.
