Summary

After finally getting to meet the incredible Richard Rohr (interview coming to the podcast soon), I sat down to reflect on: The unlikely road I’ve been on to become so immersed in Christian writers (was never on my bingo card), and what I misunderstood in my original interpretation of Jesus. What I’ve learned about dying to your small self and growing into your big self. What it means to be a prophet—not a fortune-teller, but a truth-teller—and in this age of profiteering online, how we can be more aware of when people are profiting by pretending to be a prophet. How we can avoid marketing drama triangles. And, the tools that are helping me, in this moment, to get fear out of my body. For the (many) show notes, head over to my Substack.

0:00.0	Hi, it's Elise Lundon, host of Pulling the Thread. And today's episode is just me. I'm going to talk about
0:07.2	being a prophet or the idea of profits in the age of profiteering online. I'm going to talk about
0:14.5	the amount of projection that's happening right now. And I'm going to talk about fear in the body,
0:19.9	what it does to our psyches in a ways that I
0:23.3	think might be constructive to remind ourselves about and how to get it out of our bodies.
0:41.9	Hi, it's Elise Lunan host host of Pulling the Thread.
0:48.1	On this show, we pull apart the web in which we all live to understand who we are and why we're here.
0:55.7	My hope is that these conversations spark moments of resonance and plant tiny seeds of awareness so that we might all collectively learn and grow. So some of you may know, but I recently had the incredible honor
1:05.3	of flying down to Albuquerque to interview Father Richard Rohr, who I write about all the time on my substack.
1:14.7	If you don't get my newsletter and you like this podcast, then I recommend signing up for the
1:20.3	substack. It's aligned but different. It's just elicelunin.substack.com. It's also called
1:26.6	pulling the thread. And I have been trying for years
1:31.4	to go and see Father Rohr. And finally, I got the nod. This has been in the calendar for a year
1:39.9	contingent on everyone feeling well and up to it. And so I hadn't wanted to really say anything about
1:46.0	it for fear that it would fall through. But it happened. And I went to Albuquerque. They offered
1:52.6	doing it online, which is how I do most of my interviews. And there was no way that I was not
1:59.4	going to show up and see Father Roar in person.
2:03.1	It was wonderful.
2:05.8	We laughed a lot.
2:08.2	He was so moving, of course.
2:10.3	I almost cried, as is my way.
2:12.9	And as incredibly fun as dorky as I thought it would be to round out on all of the little
