Bierkergaard: The Writings of Soren Kierkegaard

De: Eric Bierker Ph.D.
  • Sumário

  • "The Father of Existentialism" Danish writer, poet, philosopher, and Christian thinker Soren Kierkegaard, has much to teach us about our lives. Join me weekly as we take on his writings and think about how his brilliant and profound insights illuminate our way in a complicated and confusing world. I contribute a considerable amount of my own processing of Soren’s ideas and add my own personal experiences. As Soren would wish his readers to do. This is spiritual insight and truth for the real world.

  • Five Books That I Am Reading
    Dec 18 2024

    This episode is me sharing the 5 books that I am reading. 4 are Kierkegaard-focused. One is sort of. The last one, which I just got but not reading yet, is about the worldly effectiveness of Stoicism in addressing both the adversities and joys of life. Yet, It has little hope of eternity and a better world. Share the podcast on social media, write a review on your podcast platform, and reach out on the X for Bierkergaard. And get a review of social media firestorm I created and have been caught in the last 18 or so hours minus sleep. I have no agenda but the truth. So help me God.

  • Pride & Cowardliness
    Dec 11 2024

    Soren writes that pride and cowardliness are the same. The focus on self and not God seems to be the underlying similarity. "The proud person always wants to do the right thing, the great thing, and he is actually struggling not with people, but God" because he wants to do it in his own power. Doing so can also make us fearful because it is all about us. A lot of us is vulnerable when we attempt great things. When we dedicate our efforts to honor God, that self-focus dissipates. We leave the results to him and do not look for affirmation, applause, and attention, from others-particularly the fickle crowd. Those things are wonderful if we receive them. It just can't be the reason why we do it to start with. That is what Soren calls the "Reward Disease."

  • When The Evening Of Life Cools
    Dec 4 2024

    Soren writes that "That even the progress through life for the most honest contender is difficult" and fear/cowardliness "Gnaws asunder the chain of resolution." So, facing that life is, to one degree or another, difficult for everyone helps us make difficulties normative. And cope with them. When the evening comes, let us say that we continued to walk in the day of difficulties even though it might have been hard. Complaining about the difficulties does nothing to put us on the path of progress. Cope or Mope. Therapeutic culture can trap people in the pain of their past. Face it, cry if you need to, then wipe your tears,and start to walk anew. God is with you. Remember: Jesus is well-acquainted with suffering.
