49 - Imagine That
B-RAD with Brad Toews
Literalism helps us explain the world. Know the world. Name the world. But it bumps up against its limits when it meets a more powerful tool of language - metaphor. What does this look like in the context of the Christian faith?

info_outlineHome - What does it mean? Where is it?
There is a sense of safety and security attached to the idea of home.
The dictionary definition of the word homebody is a person who likes to stay home, especially one who is perceived as unadventurous.
I'd like to challenge that idea. I think a true home body - someone at home in their body - is definitely adventurous. In fact, the biggest adventure you embark on, might just be the adventure of "finding home".
While I've been traveling this year, I've been wrestling with the following question.
Why do I feel unstable when I don't have a house to live in?
In the physical and financial world we think of home as a structure in our external world. But I want to explore home ownership as an internal and personal reality.
Home ownership is you. Home ownership is the totality of your mind, body, spirit, and heart. Every where you go, your home goes with you.
And if this is true, why do we not want to live within our home? Which is to say, why are we so resistant to living in ourselves? Why are we frantic to find other things to fulfill the longing for home?
Traveling is when you physically go somewhere else. But traveling feels inconvenient and unsettling when you hold the belief that home is someplace outside of self.
I love this particular definition of home. Honouring One's Magnificent Essence.
The sense of HOME within you is the incredible truth of your power, belonging, magnificence, and strength.
Join me in this episode as I challenge the idea that a homebody isn't adventurous, re-define home ownership (regardless of what physical structure you live in), and reveal the reason why traveling can be so inconvenient and uncomfortable.
