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.

Now, go do something beautiful today—because heaven knows, “ugly” has had enough airtime.

In this episode, I’m stripping away the "bait and switch" of lesser values to focus on the highest magnetism in human existence: The Sacred Word of Love.

Inspired by the spiritual jazz of John Coltrane’s legendary album, I explore why we must stop treating the word "love" as a glib, throwaway cliché. I share a moving observation of a family interaction that reminded me how easily we "miniaturize" this mountain-range power into a casual "Love ya" while walking away. We dive deep into the importance of being present, the creative "nuclear power" that holds our universe together, and the courage it takes to look someone in the eye and speak those three most holy, magical words.

Join me as we recite the 2026 Love’s Creed—a resolution to stay locked into everything that is love and remain unavailable for anything less. It’s time to stop living at "zero" and start living on the plus side of life.

Go out and do something beautiful today—because ugly is getting done to death.

"Love is the only answer, but medieval talk about love does nothing."

I’ve been sitting with those words from the mystic Thomas Merton, and they’ve hit me right where I live. If you’ve been with me for the last seven years, you know my creed: I am alive to love, and I believe all lesser values devolve easily into "BS"—that bait-and-switch that keeps us from the reality of how we are meant to live.

As we approach the final days of 2025, I’m feeling a fire in my heart to raise an alarm. The ancient, dusty discussions of love just don’t cut it anymore for the "wild and wooly" world we’re living in. Life is a beast; it shoves us around, and if we don't have a practical, radical reality of love to lean on, we get reckless.

We are closing out the year in the spirit of Advent—celebrating the silence. I want to help you build your own "fortress of solitude" where you can be hit by the radiant supremacy of God’s love, far away from the noise of the world.

Let's stop the ancient talk and start the new walk. Let’s rise and shine and go do something beautiful.
