Integral Theology Part I

Integral Theology Part I

Presence is releasing the Integral Theology video series exploring the intersections between a transformative study of the biblical narrative with Spiral Dynamics and an AQAL (all-quadrants, all-levels) approach to spiritual growth. Feeling in the dark about what these terms mean? Don’t worry! In this video, Presence President Doug King discusses the convergence of these two fields for anyone just getting started in either.

Feeling in the dark about what these terms mean? Don’t worry! In this video, Doug King discusses the convergence of these two fields for anyone just getting started in either. Along the way, Doug covers: Did Jesus come to start a new religion? Why we need a new, post-religious approach to the biblical narrative The convergence of two different fields: Biblical Studies and Integral Theory Integral Basics Theological Foundations The relationship between Integral Theory and Covenant Eschatology A Copernican revolution in theology. How Spiral Dynamics can help you love your neighbor better Why Integral Theory’s Four Quadrants are anything but ‘square’

Integral Theology Part IV

Integral Theology Part IV

Doug takes a fresh look at eschatology, illustrating how attentive biblical scholarship and Spiral Dynamics application alike reveal Scripture’s apocalyptic texts to not only be about ‘end times,’ but transition times. How is the Hebrew Apocalyptic idiom that Jesus and his first-century followers make ample use of a trans-forming discourse rather than a fatalistic one? What’s all this stuff in the Bible about the “wrath of God?” How have we missed its point? How were Jesus and his first-century, first-fruits body of believers a transitional ‘pivot’ in developmental history? How is our growth stunted if we mistake the pivot for the point?

What if biblical apocalyptic was less about the end of the world, and more about the end of the world as we knew it? In this penultimate chapter of the Integral Theology video series, Doug King shows how Jesus is a trans-former, not a modifier; how sacrificial religion transitions to service-oriented spirituality (from shedding blood to giving blood!), and how a shift to what Spiral Dynamics calls Second Tier awareness makes all the difference in the world

http://www.presence.tv/integral-theology/ Anyone can deconstruct their faith, but what’s on the other side? The fastest-growing religious group in North America isn’t really a religious group at all; ‘the Nones’ or Spiritual-But-Not-Religious, are on the rise. Contrary to many faith-based groups – we applaud this trend, and even see in it a move of the Spirit, breaking down barriers. But what happens after you lose your religion? Does the end of ‘church’ as we know it mean that we’re left without spiritual community?
Introduction to the Biblical Narrative as Holomovement

Introduction to the Biblical Narrative as Holomovement

The term holomovement comes from the work of quantum physicist David Bohm in the last century. I have done a short introductory video explaining where this article came from and the dramatic and radical impact on long held views in theology.

The Biblical Narrative as Holomovement - Part 1

In this series I propose that the holomovement is nothing less than the creative nature of God. Further, I am proposing that when you align the holomovement elements with the Biblical Narrative it provides validation for our ongoing message of universal God identity. #holomovement #spirituality #bible #theology #integral

Theology Without Walls - A Trans-Narrative Solution

Theology Without Walls - A Trans-Narrative Solution

Our first 3 episodes have traced the evolution of Christological hermeneutics over the last 2,000 years. The 3 world views of Traditional, Modern and Postmodern have all contributed to thousands of denominated, separated groups who share one common theme. When Theology has encountered Christology it resulted in a world religion. But those who write and research in the field of Integral Consciousness point to the appearance of a new level or stage of hermeneutics. An integral approach to Theology and the role of Christology within it results in an outcome beyond religion. The Narrative itself becomes the pointing finger toward that which is Ultimate. https://www.presence.tv/integraltheology #TheologyWithoutWalls #Transnarrative #PostReligious #BeyondReligion #Theology #Integral #IntegralTheology

Theology Without Walls Part 3 - Christology as Trans-Form

This session will focus on the role and function of Christology as it relates to the movement from Form to Formlessness. This study will look at Christology from an integral perspective. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself said Paul. The Narrative is a God story from beginning to end. Christ represents the way God is the source of all growth and transformation. #TheologyWithoutWalls #IntegralTheology #Integral #SpiritualButNotReligious #SBNR #Theology #Bible #Transnarrative #PostReligious #PostChristian #Universalist #Bible #BibleStudy

Theology Without Wall's Greatest Wall - Christology

Christianity is the world’s largest religion. Therefore, its walls are higher than any other religion. But can there be a path forward that takes down this wall of arrested development? Can we move beyond Christology as a religious form? #TheologyWithoutWalls #Theology #Integral #IntegralTheology #SpiritualButNotReligious #Christology #PostReligious #PostChristian

Theology Without Walls Part 1

Theology Without Walls is challenging theologians to pursue studies of God beyond the walls of their particular world religion. So this is an attempt to move beyond the Interfaith movement. I want to share with you some detail about their foundational concepts and how this finally addresses the questions and proposals offered by our Integral approach. Our integral hermeneutic is now in play! https://www.presence.tv/integraltheology #Integral, #Theology, #TheologyWithoutWalls, #PostReligion, #SBNR, #SpiritualButNotReligious

An AQAL Approach to the Resurrection of the Dead

Is the resurrection narrative relevant? How would its meaning change using the models and tools of an integral approach? This is material I’m using to talk with folks in the integral world who think the Narrative is out of touch. Please join me as I challenge this misconception and give me your feedback as I look to build bridges with others.

Integral Theory's Blind Eye; The Biblical Trajectory in the LRQ

This Covid-19 virus has really revealed just how unnatural it is to be separated. This should come as no surprise because the nature of the creator is oneness—not separation! God was in Christ reconciling the world; God was restoring all things; God’s nature is all in all and God’s work in Christ was one that could not be divided. God is life. Separation thinking is death.
SPIRAL DYNAMICS, PAUL AND THE LAW... THE FUNCTION OF BLUE IN THE BIBLICAL NARRATIVE

SPIRAL DYNAMICS, PAUL AND THE LAW... THE FUNCTION OF BLUE IN THE BIBLICAL NARRATIVE

The Spiral Dynamics model consists of six 1st tier levels leading to an evolutionary leap into a 2nd tier domain. So, how does the Law function in 1st tier versus 2nd? If we move into universal God identity, have we moved beyond law? How does law function in 2nd tier spirituality? How do we define morals and ethics from a 2nd tier perspective? What does law have to do with sin and death?
Paul’s Integral Approach to the Law, Sin and Death
51:41

Paul’s Integral Approach to the Law, Sin and Death

Paul has been criticized by many theologians over the last 50 years as a sometimes confused or off-base writer. But I believe he is misunderstood when interpreted through various 1st tier lenses. #Integral #Theology #SpiralDynamics #BookofRomans

Atonement Part 1

"Can Blood Payment Buy Forgiveness? - A Study of the Atonement" Surprisingly, this story has meaning today in the midst of an ongoing pandemic and tremendous racial strife here in the U.S. I’ll give my understanding of how the Narrative provides great wisdom for our planet as we work together to become one global family. The Narrative either has meaning for our world or it doesn’t. We’ll propose an integral way forward on the path to peace and understanding. #Atonement #Integral #Theology #IntegralTheology
