Purpose After Pause

The Crisis of Imagined Heroes explores a quiet crisis shaping our time—the way our worship of past saints, sages, and leaders has become an act of imagination. These figures, once alive, are now transformed into symbols and illusions that comfort us but also distance us from reality. When we cling to these imagined heroes and their sacred pasts, we risk becoming ungrounded, detached from the real work and possibilities of our present. Through reflection and dialogue, this podcast invites us to re-examine our relationship with the past and consider how we might live more fully in the now.
