We like to hide our feelings in our hunger. To get lost in our craving. Until we indulge it in consumption. But that’s when we come up short. We come up empty. Consumption doesn’t work. Strolling through the store doesn’t make us happy—it makes the insatiable even more uncomfortable. Don’t let your “negative” emotions march you down to the hell of capricious indulgence. Fill your heart with what can fill it.

In this “excast” (excursus podcast) episode of Two Pour Spirits, Chris and Kyle talk about consumerism and our cultural craving to be full. Why do we willingly introduce our desires to things that we know won’t hit the spot? We are built to have full bellies, but why do we fill them with all the wrong things? Why do we feel compelled to want something when we have everything? The curse hits harder than we think.

Welcome to Two Pour Spirits.

Project : Neighbor is a theological think tank and spiritual training ground for the Church and the common good. We think theologically about everything from soil to sky, and disciple believers from crib to casket. We draw widely from the catholic Christian tradition, are ecumenically-oriented, and practically-minded.
