In this episode of The Listening Porch, we’re literally on a porch outside, surrounded by dogs barking, cars passing, and creation doing what it does. And in that setting, Ray shares one of the themes that has shaped his entire life: wonder.

We talk about the “mystery of Christ,” not as something we’re meant to comprehend, but something we’re invited to apprehend — to step into, experience, and walk with. Ray uses the image of walking through a forest to teach us how wonder reveals God in ways intellect never could.

We discuss:

  • Why the mysteries of God aren’t puzzles to solve

  • How wonder is the passageway into knowing Him

  • How pride and cynicism choke out our ability to see

  • Why grey areas are not failures, but invitations

  • How writing, walking, and watching creation awaken our spirits

  • And how to stay tender, curious, and childlike in a world that pushes us toward answers

If you’ve felt your wonder shrinking or if cynicism has taken root, this episode might be for you.
