Talk Gnosis Interview

A few years ago I was invited on Talk Gnosis,( ⬅️ subscribe by clicking the link) a podcast that explores the wisdom of the Gnostic tradition. In that interview I talked about what it looks like to bring some of those insights into the life of the church, not as something strange or threatening, but as something that can deepen the way we live our faith.

For me, Gnosticism has never been about secret codes or elitism. At its heart it is about inner awakening, about listening to the voice of the soul, and the Christ who calls that voice out of us. When Jesus says, “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21), he is inviting us to discover the divine presence already alive in our lives. The Gnostic texts echo this same invitation.

What I shared on Talk Gnosis still rings true for me now: the Christian life is not only about believing but about becoming. It is about letting faith move from the surface down into the depths. When we bring together the tradition we’ve inherited and the mystical insights that have too often been pushed aside, we rediscover a faith that transforms us from the inside out.

That interview stays with me because it was a reminder that the early church was not one-dimensional. It was alive with different voices, all wrestling with what it meant to follow Christ. That same work is still before us today.
