The Songs of neXus: Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas

The Songs of neXus: Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas

Author: peg peters May 15, 2020 Duration: 52:07
In 2004, a number of us formed a faith community called neXus.  We were trying to reformulate, deconstruct and critically examine our Christian/Evangelical spirituality.  We had a good run, eventually ceasing formal services in 2017.  During that time, a number of songs came to be very important to me and Peg...we thought we would take a look at a few of these. We decided to start with Brandon Flowers' (The Killers) anthem Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas.  We actually planned for this to be a 20 minute conversation and it morphed into an hour long experience for the both of us.  As during our first encounter with this anthem, we were struck with the idea of coming to terms with our own mortality, and therein finding, among other things, life. I hope you enjoy.   Dave

Hosted by peg peters, UNVEILED: exploring psychedelics and spirituality is a series of conversations that delve into the intricate connections between altered states of consciousness and spiritual seeking. While rooted in personal experiences with Christian symbolism, the discussions actively embrace an inclusive and open approach to spirituality. The podcast creates a space where faith, culture, health, and the many forms of human relationships intersect. Listeners will find episodes that thoughtfully examine how substances like psychedelics can influence personal meaning, spiritual practice, and overall well-being. This isn't about providing easy answers, but rather exploring the nuanced questions that arise at the crossroads of tradition and modern exploration. You'll hear genuine dialogue that reflects on film, television, and fitness through this unique lens, offering reviews and perspectives that tie everyday culture back to deeper existential themes. The aim is to foster understanding within the greater community and beyond, welcoming anyone curious about how individual journeys of meaning are shaped. Each episode invites reflection on how we navigate the profound and the mundane in our search for connection.
