In this candid episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce, host Chris Jones challenges the safety of "community-first" religion using the powerful metaphor of the Bull Elephant.

Is there a God — or at least, is it possible? In this episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce we explore a fresh bridge between Scripture, archetypal wisdom, and modern physics: the tabernacle as a three-part template for body, mind, and spirit, Einstein’s and Newton’s intuitions about a unifying substrate, and the ancient idea of namarupa (name‑and‑form) that everything visible arises from the same energetic source. So, can God and science share the same space? Note:I say that the speed of light is 1...
