The myths we’ve inherited about God aren’t just outdated—according to Sister Ilia Delio, they may be at the root of our collective crisis.

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Ilia Delio—Franciscan sister, scientist, theologian, holder of the Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair at Villanova University, and author of more than twenty books, including The Not Yet God, Re-enchanting the Earth: Why AI Needs Religion, and the memoir Birth of a Dancing Star: My Journey from Cradle Catholic to Cyborg Christian—about what a genuine God revolution would look like in the twenty-first century.

Drawing on the evolutionary theology of Teilhard de Chardin, the depth psychology of Jung, and the cosmotheandric vision of Raimon Panikkar, Delio offers a startling and empowering reframe: God is not a supernatural authority above us, but the inexhaustible ground of wholeness emerging through us—and we are, right now, called to complete that becoming.

Join Tami and Ilia to explore:

• Why the God of the Axial Age is dying—and what’s being born in its place
• The evolutionary arc from archaic religion to monotheism to a new cosmotheandric religious consciousness
• What it actually means to be a “cyborg Christian”—and why Jesus of Nazareth was one
• How AI mirrors the human psyche and why it may catalyze, not threaten, the next stage of love
• The three-pronged revolution: creativity, complexity, and consciousness
• How to awaken to the divine presence already alive within you—and why that’s the taproot we need now

Rich, irreverent, and intellectually alive, this interview is a genuine disruptor for anyone who has ever felt that the spiritual containers we’ve inherited are too small for the lives we’re actually living.
