| 4/29/25 | "The Tears of Things" with Rev. Dani Hillyer | Are you a prophet? Should people claim to be prophets in today's world? What do the prophets of the ancient times have to teach us about the way we're supposed to be with each other today?Fr. Richard Rohr recently released a new book titled, "The Tears of Things" that Pastor Dani and Matt Mattson discuss in detail on this episode of The BETWEEN Podcast. The book serves as a jumping off point for a truly sacred conversation to take place... They discuss our inner "prophetic" voice, our ego, seeing the world in new ways through tears-filled eyes, the courage to embrace paradox.MORE ABOUT THE BOOKHow do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today.The prophets’ writings reflect the full spectrum of human maturity. In almost every case, their initial rage and their accusatory words evolve into a profound pathos and lamentation about our shared human condition and the world’s suffering. Through astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their journey from anger to sadness, and ultimately compassion, the prophets exemplify what Rohr calls “sacred criticism”—a distinct approach to confronting evil and injustice that acknowledges the wholeness of history, the interconnectedness of every living being, and the reality of a divine and universal love. In this, they set the stage for Jesus, who follows this identical pattern.Drawing on a century of biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared Rohr to millions, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom. It paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a compassionate way of living in a hurting world. | — | ||||||

He loves hanging out with his three children, enjoying good food, cooking, and watching Korean dramas with his wife.
