Dark Carnival of the Soul

In this episode we discuss the experience of Doubt.

We talk about St. John of the Cross and his Dark Night of the Soul; the gift of darkness and the image of God as a “cloud of unknowing;” Utah, Mormonism, and prophetic Americana, Mark Wahlberg’s “lenten prayer challenge”; Ramsey Dukes’s SSOTBME; quitting grad school; Ignatian discernment and having convos you don’t want to have; and more.

We finish by revisiting “Miracles” by Insane Clown Posse, celebrating the crypto-Christian ethos of the Hatchet Family and the Dark Carnival, their manifest kingdom of unvarnished love and acceptance. MMFWCL.
