In this episode, I share about one of the loneliest and weirdest seasons I've walked through in recent years—the strange territory of being nobody where you used to be somebody. It's been over a year since I stepped away from church staff, and I'm only now finding words for this peculiar experience.When you transition away from ministry leadership, you don't just leave a job—you lose your immediate answer to who you are and what you do. You enter an awkward no man's land where you're still supposed to show up every week because it's "church family," but your role and relationships have fundamentally changed in ways nobody really prepared you for.I talk honestly about the identity earthquake that happens when your name is no longer attached to a spiritual job description, the grief of going from essential to optional, and why learning to be a normal person is harder than it looks. I also share about the unexpected freedom I've discovered in functional obscurity and why I now pray for this gift for all my ministry friends.This episode is for anyone navigating the awkward dance of staying put when everything has changed, for those wondering if they've made a terrible mistake or discovered a beautiful freedom, and for ministry leaders who need to know they're not crazy for feeling what they're feeling during transition seasons.Sometimes the most profound spiritual formation happens not through addition but through subtraction—and sometimes God reveals who we are not by giving us more responsibility but by taking away what we thought defined us.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice sits down with Rev. Dr. Vicki Garlock—founder of World Religions for Kids, award-winning author, and editor of the Religion Matters blog. Vicki shares her journey from a background in neuroscience and cognitive development to creating engaging, multifaith educational materials for children ages 3–10.

In part 2 of It's All About Relationships, Heather and Darren explore what makes a relationship truly sacred—not because it's perfect or forever, but because it meets us at just the right moment in our lives. When a connection endures through changing seasons, it becomes something rare and deeply meaningful.We ask a question that keeps guiding us back to the heart of connection: Does the person across from me feel cared for, seen, and heard? From small gestures like remembering the little things, to being present during someone's busy grind, we unpack how real relationships grow.Join us as we talk about what it means to create safe spaces, honor each other's stories, and walk together even when we're different. Relationships aren't static—they're alive, messy, and full of potential.If this resonates, we invite you to listen in—and maybe even reach out to someone you care about this week. Ask a deeper question. Be curious. Share this episode. It might just spark the connection you both need.Step into The Life You're Made For, I'm cheering you on!heatherpenny.com@heatherpennyphdMusic & Production by Jason Squires

Wendy and Clint explore the concept of 24/7 places of worship, noting that while many traditional churches have regular hours, some Catholic chapels and mosques offer late-night access for specific events. They mention specific examples like Saint Mary's Perpetual Adoration Chapel in Alexandria, Virginia, and Dar us Salaam in Maryland. They also discuss the symbolism in religious practices, such as the mezuzah in Jewish homes and the garments in Mormon traditions.

Welcome back! In this episode, I'm taking you deeper into what holistic interior design really means to me — and how my personal journey shaped the way I approach space, energy, and design today.I'm sharing my story — from growing up in chaotic, shared spaces, to discovering the magic of theatre, finding sanctuary in my first apartment, and ultimately weaving together spirituality, energy work, and design. You'll hear about the turning points that led me to become a certified Feng Shui practitioner, Reiki Master, and holistic designer — and how I integrate it all into the work I do now.Then I walk you through my Top 10 ways to embrace holistic interior design right now — things you can do today to shift the energy in your space and reconnect with your home as a tool for healing, alignment, and intention.Whether you're a homeowner, creative, or wellness entrepreneur, these tips will help you design a space that holds you, inspires you, and reflects your highest self.In this episode, I share:What holistic interior design is and how I define itHow my lived experience led me to this workWhy space isn't just physical — it's emotional and spiritual, tooMy top 10 (plus a bonus!) energy-shifting practices for your homeHow to connect more deeply with your space through simple, soul-supporting changes✨ Feeling inspired to try one of these?

What if everyday moments—like washing dishes or sitting in traffic—could actually connect you to heaven? In this episode, we're diving into what it really means to live into your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God. We'll chat about the baptismal priesthood—not as some abstract theology, but as a real, lived-out calling to be a bridge between heaven and earth. Whether you're changing a diaper or heading into a meeting, worship isn't just for Sunday mornings—it's for every part of your life. I sit down with Fr. Michael Voithofer, and we talk about how worship shifts our focus, heals our hearts, and draws us into God's presence where we can actually rest. You'll hear how starting your day with a posture of poverty of spirit—just being honest about your need for God—can transform the way you live, love, and lead. So grab your coffee, take a breath, and join us as we explore what it looks like to live from a place of sonship, freedom, and joy—bringing God's presence into every moment.

This week, your witch friends are bringing you a veritable plethora of witch info, as they attended a full day of rituals and lectures at Sacred Space 2025 that took place in late March!  We are talking bears, moons, jars, death, AND SO MUCH MORE.  The witches had so much fun recapping each day with each other, and are so happy to share it with you!  Spoiler alert, this episode is good for long commutes and crafting evenings!  

As the world feels increasingly unstable, many of us are seeking ways to stay grounded, to keep our hearts open, and to resist despair. In this timely encore episode, Buddhist teacher and author Lama Rod Owens reminds us that joy is not only possible in times of crisis—it is essential.Lama Rod shares deeply from his lived experience as a Black, queer spiritual teacher in America. We talk about how rage can be holy, how rest is sacred, and how joy can serve as a radical, defiant act in the face of oppression.This conversation is an anchor for anyone navigating stress, overwhelm, or heartbreak right now. May it nourish you deeply.In this episode:How joy functions as a tool for resistanceWhat it means to stay emotionally present without being consumedWhy creative expression is essential for survivalHow to begin cultivating inner spaciousness, even in chaosPractices to help you return to your centre

Witches, they have done it again!  Your besties have gone to Sacred Space 2025, and they are ready to report back on all the awesomeness that transpired.  On this first night, Blackbird and Scarlet talk about a ritual with The Fool, a ritual with CHAOS!!!, and a ritual with Hecate herself (as aspected/channeled by Laura Tempest Zakroff!)  The witches cannot wait to tell you all about it, so pop in those earbuds and get ready for the rundown of Night One!  

Laylla and Chelle spill the enchanted tea on their magical adventures at the 2025 Sacred Space Conference! From leading their deeply transformative Fool Meditation Ritual to hugging the absolute spell out of some beloved listeners, it was a whirlwind of candles, community, and just the right amount of chaos!The witches share stories from the workshops they attended and the brilliant witches they connected with...yes, we're talking about Mat Auryn, Jhenah Telyndru, Amy Blackthorn, Mhara Starling, Kristoffer Hughes, Christian Brannen, and so many more. There were spellbooks, sacred moments, and possibly a few awkward ones too! Like when Chelle said something very, very cheeky to Kristoffer Hughes, who (thank the gods) found it hilarious. Laylla, on the other hand, may or may not have had an awkward entanglement with Jhenah Telyndru and is now fairly convinced she has to avoid the Avalonian Priestess out of sheer embarrassment.Between the deep spiritual work and the laugh-until-you-snort moments, this episode is part recap, part celebration, and all community. Whether you were there in person or in spirit, come along for the ride as the witches reflect on the joy, power, and absolute magic of sharing sacred space with this incredible pagan community.Fool of the Labyrinth Chant (replace Lady with Fool)Got a question?

This week: Starmerism's moral vacuum ‘Governments need a mission, or they descend into reactive incoherence' writes Michael Gove in this week's cover piece. A Labour government, he argues, ‘cannot survive' without a sense of purpose. The ‘failure of this government to make social justice its mission' has led to a Spring Statement ‘that was at once hurried, incoherent and cruel – a fiscal drive-by shooting'.  Michael writes that Starmer wishes to emulate his hero – the post-war Prime Minister Clement Atlee, who founded the NHS and supported a fledgling NATO alliance. Yet, with policy driven by Treasury mandarins, the Labour project is in danger of drifting, as John Major's premiership did. Starmerism's policy vacuum is being filled so rapidly by HMT that we are embarking on an era of ‘cruel Labour'.  Michael joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside John McTernan, former private secretary to Tony Blair. (1:37) Next: have the Church's sacred spaces become community clubs? From yoga classes to drag shows, and even a helter-skelter, the Revd Dr Jamie Franklin, host of the podcast Irreverentand author of The Great Return, writes in the magazine this week about what he argues is the ‘tragic misuse of its sacred spaces' by the Church of England. This new reality may be symptomatic of a wider issue with the leadership of the Church, currently pondering its future. The journalist Quentin Letts provides his own manifesto for the next Archbishop of Canterbury in this week's diary.  So do diverse uses of space broaden the Church's appeal or does it run the risk of diluting its holiness? Quentin, whose new book NUNC! Is out now, joined the podcast alongside Jamie to discuss. (20:52) And finally: is Clandon Park a visionary restoration or a catastrophic precedent? Calvin Po addresses the ‘conundrum of conservation' in the Arts lead for the magazine this week: how much of a building can be restored before it becomes a different building entirely?  Plans have moved forward for the 18th century Palladian mansion Clandon Park, managed by the National Trust, to be preserved in a half-charred form, following its gutting by fire in 2015. The Trust says this ‘approach combines careful conservation, scholarly restoration and sensitive contemporary design'. And The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), founded by William Morris, has hailed the plans, arguing that a full restoration would amount to a ‘feeble and lifeless forgery' and the ‘Clandon of the future will offer a markedly different visitor experience to that of the past, but one that will have its own interest'. Calvin, however, worries that this sets a ‘catastrophic precedent' for restorations of the future, and The Georgian Group actively opposed the Trust's proposal, arguing that the building's merit comes in its original design ‘not in burnt bricks'.  To discuss further we were joined by The Georgian Group's director Dr Anya Lucas, and the architectural historian – and former Chair of SPAB – Gillian Darley. (35:17) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

In this episode of the Creative Genius podcast, I interview Rebe Huntman about her debut memoir, "My Mother in Havana, a memoir of magic and miracle." Rebe shares her personal story of losing her mother at a young age and the subsequent decades of feeling disconnected from her memory. Driven by a deep longing and intuition, Rebe embarked on a 30-day DIY pilgrimage to Cuba to seek a different perspective on grief and connection. The conversation delves into how Rebe's background as a Latin dancer led her to discover the spiritual roots of Cuban dances and the traditions of honoring the deceased.  Rebe recounts her experiences immersing herself in rituals dedicated to the goddess Oshun, visiting the sanctuary of Cuba's patron saint, and meeting with a spiritist who she hoped would connect her with her mother.Rebe and I discuss the importance of intuition and following one's unique path, even when it doesn't seem logical. We also explore the disconnect in Western culture from ancestral connections, magic, and meaningful rituals, contrasting it with the Cuban traditions of keeping the dead close.The conversation touches on the challenges of staying creative and connected to one's inner voice in the face of overwhelming global issues and personal fears. Rebe shares her belief in creativity as a portal and emphasizes the importance of honouring inner longings and choosing to champion humanity. She also shares her personal rituals for grounding and connecting with her intuition and ancestors, offering practical advice for listeners seeking to do the same. Ultimately, Rebe's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the wisdom of intuition, and the potential for magic and miracle in our lives, even in the darkest of times.
