Podcast appearances and mentions of Martin L Smith

If we start to see the way God sees, we start to look at how we handle the planet, conversations with others, money, and so many other spaces in life. For many of us, we've come to a settled sense on a lot of these things which limits what we allow in our consciousness. Freedom is deciding not to oppress seeing the world in a new way - this is divine!   In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about Martin L. Smith's address to the House of Bishops in 1997.  They discuss spiritual practices, various faith traditions, and how sacred awareness of the world around us leads to freedom.  Before listening, read For Faith.Support the Show.
