TEXT AND ROCK.
Ancient myth and artifact meet poetry and rhythm for the post-modern soul.
Hosted by Mark Shaffer and Eric Madison, TEXT AND ROCK is a weekly podcast that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary life. Mark, an antiquarian, writer, and part-time punk rocker, and Eric, a musician, podcaster, and rhythm instructor, delve into topics ranging from biblical texts and ancient artifacts to modern spirituality and cultural critique. Their engaging discussions aim to help listeners read the Bible like an ancient and have faith like a modern.
Whether you're seeking to deepen your understanding of sacred texts, explore the intersections of faith and culture, or simply enjoy thought-provoking conversations, TEXT AND ROCK offers a unique perspective that resonates with the post-modern soul.

FAITH AND DOUBT 05. GOD WEARS KID GLOVES.

A friend of the show and I continue talking about faith and doubt. This episode we talk about what to do when the bottom falls out-- to have faith or not to have faith?
We both believe that whenever something truly horrible happens, we actually have a choice whether to lean into God/Source/Universe/Being/Oneness, or to lean out. At these times people either grow in faith immensely or become very bitter and angry.
Along the way, we talk about Jesus' disciple Thomas, hope for all of us part-time believers, and how God fights us with kid gloves.
We hope you love it!
