Join brothers Matt and Brian Silver this episode as they explore Anthony De Mello's "Awareness," a book that invites us on a journey to "wake up." It beautifully illustrates how our suffering often stems from illusions and attachments, even those wrapped up in our understanding of ourselves, others, and the divine. True happiness and love emerge from this awakening, leading to a fresh perception of reality and a liberation from rigid dogma, revealing a divine presence both within and around us.

We discuss a different book each episode. Brian, with eight years as Lead Pastor at Hope Community Church in St. Paul, MN, provides thoughtful theological insights. His older brother, Matt, has many questions about God, the Bible, mysticism, and theology. Expect candid conversations ranging from Matt's personal recovery journey to their shared experiences as preacher's kids.
