Still staring at the sky? This episode challenges us to stop waiting for miracles and start building a better world—one grounded in wisdom, hope, and justice.
What if the sky isn’t the limit—but rather a distraction? People have always faced limitations in what they envision because of what they assume to be true or unchangeable. The early Christians imagined Jesus ascending into the sky because they assumed that was the limit… and, just like them, we’re limited by what we think we know.
Welcome to Mythologizing the Bible—where we’ll be taking a look at three readings from the Christian Bible through the lens of “sacred myth.”
In this episode, we’ll explore the story of the Ascension—not as a supernatural event, but as a myth that masks a far more practical challenge: stop waiting for miracles and start building something better. The apostles were left staring at the clouds, hoping for more divine fireworks, but the real message was already clear. The work wasn’t done. It was just beginning.
Together, we’ll unpack the dangerous appeal of religious authority, the emptiness of blind obedience, and then look at the power of purpose rooted in values—not dogma. Because in the end, this story isn’t about Jesus flying away. It’s about what we choose to do once the spectacle fades!
