Summary

To remain in one place while not being continually entertained or stimulated from something outside ourselves is increasingly difficult. But if we are to become outposts of beauty and goodness—like any artist—we must be willing to remain in the presence of others and of ourselves, over and against our impulse to run away as quickly as we can to reduce our distress as expeditiously as possible. Join us as we delve into the heart of Psalm 27:4 and discover how dwelling is a necessary step in becoming aware of our longings and our griefs, as well as those of others, and how staying put—as odd as it initially might seem—is the first step in our movement toward flourishing. But not only this. For we will see how dwelling “…in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…” is so much more than you might have imagined.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Being Known Podcast with my friend Dr Desire. Oh my I did not see that coming. Oh my gosh, oh my I did not see that coming.
0:32.0	Oh and my friend Pepper sweet, the most beautiful man in the world.
0:35.8	We are here to discover and explore what it means to be truly known.
0:45.0	And all of good falls.
0:49.0	I hope our listeners, I hope you all are still,
0:51.0	they haven't turned this off yet.
0:54.0	So this is again the third season of the being known podcast and it is my delight to be going through the soul of desire
1:09.3	Discovering the neuroscience of longing beauty and community with its author, Dr. Kurt Thompson.
1:16.6	And we are on episode 7, which means we are in chapter 7, which is on dwell. And these few chapters here are centered around Psalm 27.
1:27.0	And in particular, today's chapter is centered around that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
1:37.0	Kurt I loved this chapter and one of the things that was really compelling to me about this chapter is when you were talking about the
1:47.0	Confessional Communities, you talk about the fact that there are certain there are a couple of questions that are often
1:55.2	asked in these communities and on the surface they may seem to have one meeting but in these
2:00.7	communities they come to have a much deeper, sometimes anxiety-provoking,
2:07.0	but very much a sort of way to get to the beauty of it all.
2:12.0	And one of those questions is, where am I? And the other
2:16.8	question is, with whom am I living? So let's talk about that a little bit. So when you ask where am I in in this context what are you really asking?
2:28.3	Well, you know, I think that that question is and we we unpack it even a little more robust way in two
2:37.8	chapters down the line but here we're really trying to be curious about this notion of like when I ask where I am, I'm not just answering, well, I'm here in my office or you're there in your studio, or where I dwell in Arlington, Virginia, this sense of where am I, if someone
2:57.8	would ask me that question, I typically will, my reflection will be, well where am I? be well where am I?
