Sometimes, the invitation to change doesn’t come softly — it comes through discomfort, resistance, even anger. In this episode, David shares the story of his early work with GLIDE, facing raw reactions from those unready for dialogue, and what those moments revealed about the deeper work of transformation.Reflecting on today’s cultural fractures — from DEI to gender identity to political polarization — David weaves personal experience with ancient wisdom from the Gospels of Thomas and Mary, asking:What if real change isn’t something we perform outwardly, but something we embody inwardly?What if the Kingdom we seek is not beyond us, but within us?This is a meditation on wholeness, sacred disruption, and the door we've been searching for all along — the knock we keep ignoring.

Plus: a closing blessing drawn from the forgotten words of early Christian mystics, and reflection questions to carry into your week.
