In the Season 2 premiere of Peace on the Doorstep, we’re diving deep into the transformative world of contemplative Christianity. This episode explores the profound practice of Lectio Divina, a meditative way of engaging with Scripture that prioritizes reflection and personal connection with God. I share my personal journey with Psalm 46 — how it resonated in unexpected ways despite my struggles with aphantasia — and what it taught me about finding refuge in chaos.
We’ll unpack the mystical traditions of Christianity, from the quiet power of silence and solitude to the complexities of non-dual thinking that challenge black-and-white views of faith. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise of the world or curious about finding God beyond doctrine and debate, this episode offers a reflective space to pause, listen, and simply be.
Tune in to hear why sometimes the most profound spiritual growth happens when we let go of control, embrace the mystery, and allow ourselves to be still.

Yes, there will be some swearing. I start each episode with “b******t” as a heads-up, and I might swear in person or even during prayers. This podcast reflects the real me.
I’m still exploring my faith, and my questions stem from curiosity. I gather insights from various sources—books, articles, podcasts, conversations with priests, and tech tools. I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I encourage you to seek your own truth. I embrace technology to enhance this process because I’m a tech nerd at heart!
