Tune in for an episode exploring a powerful new concept drawn from the heart of divine reality! We'll delve into Diaphoris: The Ecstatic Agony of Divine Glory.

While classic theology speaks of perichoresis – the beautiful, ancient word for the mutual indwelling and interpenetration of the Trinity – we'll unpack something more dynamic, more painful, and more creative.

Starting with Jesus' prayer in John 17, we'll see that the glory He gives is not about uniformity or comfort, but a oneness mirrored in the Trinity that is a communion of distinction.

This isn't just a present dance, but a movement, a journey. We introduce diaphoris (from dia, "through/apart," and phorēin, "to bear") as the sacred dynamic where difference is borne, crossed, and ultimately reconciled, generating deeper communion.

Diaphoris speaks not just of interrelation, but of the journey to it. It names the agonizing ecstasy of love willing to be torn to embrace, capturing the rhythm of the Cross. Glory is framed not as stability, but as movement: separation creating space for love, otherness inviting encounter, suffering opening the way to deeper union. Christ is glorified not despite, but through, being lifted up, torn apart, and returned.

This dynamic echoes across creation, from cells dividing to cultures diverging, and is seen in the Church scattering and gathering, fractured yet drawn into reconciled communion. It's a fractal, cruciform process where difference becomes the womb of deeper unity. John 17 is an invitation to become a people shaped by this dynamic glory. We are called to live diaphorically: bearing difference with grace, enduring separation in hope, and embracing tension as the birthplace of communion.

Join us as we explore this path of glory, the living oneness of the Godhead, and the prayer of Christ still echoing and reconciling. This is where love does not collapse difference, but transfigures it.
