In this deeply personal and reflective episode of "The Chris Abraham Show," Chris shares his thoughts and experiences on a variety of topics, weaving together stories of faith, political observations, and family anecdotes. Recorded on Easter in the United States, Chris opens by discussing his recovery from a recent illness and his decision to spend the day watching the Netflix series "Messiah," developing an admiration for actress Michelle Monaghan. He delves into his spiritual journey, highlighting his struggles with maintaining traditional religious practices while embracing the diverse spiritual perspectives of his friends from different faith backgrounds.
Chris discusses his lack of interest in discussing current political events, choosing instead to focus on the broader theme of populism and its misunderstood role in American politics. He reflects on Donald Trump's appeal to populist sentiments and the mainstream media's reluctance to address the populist movement's impact.
The episode takes a more personal turn as Chris shares mystical and spiritual experiences within his family, particularly those of his mother, who had profound encounters that shaped her religious beliefs. He also touches on his own spiritual practices, including his relationship with Marianism and his respect for various deities and spiritual figures, stemming from his upbringing and education in Hawaii.
As Chris navigates through these topics, he offers insights into his views on Catholicism, the influence of polytheism, and the significance of personal spiritual experiences. He concludes the episode with reflections on attending church, his thoughts on the current political landscape, and a light-hearted note on his eBay sales.
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Our Father,
Who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
They Will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And, forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And, lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.
