Monsters at the Table 27.10.2025 28:05
Just in time for Halloween, Heath dives into the strange, sacred, and surprising world of monsters. From ancient myths to Hollywood blockbusters, from biblical beasts to the shadows we carry inside, this episode explores why monsters matter—and what they’re really trying to tell us. Expect stories, surprises, and a few chills, as we wander through caves, face dragons, and even learn how to befrien...
The Temple Has Knees 20.10.2025 20:27
Your body is not a machine. It’s not a vehicle you drive until it breaks down. It’s a temple. A sacred ecosystem. A cathedral of cells humming with wisdom older than words. In this episode we wander into embodiment, sensation, and the quiet ways your body might be smarter than your brain. We’ll talk gut feelings, movement as prayer, pain as teacher, and why joy is always embodied (spoiler: you can...
What We Don't Post On Social Media 13.10.2025 17:25
Becoming isn’t clean. It isn’t efficient. It isn’t the neat “before and after” story we love to celebrate. Real transformation feels more like the caterpillar dissolving into goo—messy, disorienting, unrecognizable. In this episode, we dive into the holy chaos of change: the wilderness seasons of the Bible, the pressure of tidy cultural narratives, the paradox of loss and growth, and the wisdom of...
Haunted by What We Don’t Say 06.10.2025 15:19
Haunted by What We Don’t Say is an invitation into the silence beneath your skin. The ghosts you carry? They aren’t always people. Sometimes they’re the words you never said. This episode is about the cost of silence— how unspoken truths linger like shadows, how swallowed apologies and withheld "I love yous" follow us through new cities, new jobs, new lives. But what if the past isn’t really past...
The Mystery of Enough 29.09.2025 24:23
You know that feeling? The scroll. The striving. The ache for more. The next thing to buy. The next goal to hit. The next moment when you’ll finally feel okay. But what if… you already are? In this episode, we explore the ache that never quite goes away— the sacred longing that keeps whispering, “There must be more.” Is it greed? Is it discontent? Or is it something deeper, something holier? We’ll...
What If Magic is Real (And Always Was)? 22.09.2025 22:34
Once, the world was alive with whispers. The wind carried messages. The rivers spoke. Bread and wine pulsed with mystery. And a burning bush wasn’t the miracle— the miracle was that someone noticed. In this episode, we take a journey back— not to nostalgia or naïveté, but to wonder. To awe. To the possibility that the world is still enchanted… and always was. We’ll talk mystics and quantum physics...
You’re Not Lost, You’re Between Maps 15.09.2025 20:55
The job is gone. The relationship shifted. The dream no longer fits. You’re not where you were, but not yet where you’re going. This podcast is for the wilderness moments— when the old map stops working and there’s no new one in sight. Blending storytelling, scripture, stillness, and the raw ache of becoming, this is a space to breathe, to listen, to trust that maybe—just maybe—you’re not lost… yo...
The Alchemy of Boredom 08.09.2025 27:34
What if boredom isn’t a curse, but a crucible? A sacred, smoldering space where something ancient is trying to happen? In a world obsessed with stimulation, speed, and distraction, boredom feels like failure. Like something’s gone wrong. But what if it’s actually an invitation? In this episode, we explore the strange possibility that boredom is not the absence of life—but the birthplace of it. A h...
Is Wonder a Spiritual Discipline? 01.09.2025 28:08
We talk about prayer. Meditation. Fasting. Silence. But rarely do we talk about wonder. And yet, wonder might just be the spiritual practice we’ve been missing all along. The daily discipline of staying awake to the mystery. Of letting yourself be astonished. Of standing before the world with your jaw dropped, your eyes wide, your heart soft. In this episode, we explore what happens when wonder be...
Becoming An Inner Astronaut 25.08.2025 36:11
You are not small. Inside you is an entire universe. Galaxies of thought. Solar systems of longing. Nebulas of memory and dream. We tend to think of the cosmos as something “out there”—stars burning millions of light-years away. But what if the same wild, creative energy that shaped the stars also shaped you? In this episode, we explore the vast interior space within each of us—the intricate, infi...
How to Catch an Idea With a Butterfly Net 18.08.2025 30:35
Ideas are tricky little creatures. They don’t arrive on schedule. They don’t respond to emails. They show up unannounced—half-dressed, a little tipsy, carrying riddles instead of blueprints. And if you’re not paying attention, they slip right past you. In this episode, we explore the art of catching ideas—the strange, zany, beautiful process of noticing the flicker, the glimmer, the quick flutter...
The Gospel of the Misfit 11.08.2025 31:03
Blessed are the weirdos. The square pegs. The outsiders. The ones who never quite fit the mold. The Gospel of the Misfit is about the good news that there’s nothing wrong with you for being different. In fact, your difference might be the very thing the world is starving for. In this episode, we celebrate the beautiful, messy brilliance of the misfit soul—the artists, rebels, dreamers, and edge-dw...
Why Trees Might Be More Enlightened Than We Are 04.08.2025 28:41
Trees don’t hustle. They don’t compare. They don’t grasp or strive or scroll. They just… be. And in their quiet, rooted presence, they seem to know something we’ve forgotten. In this episode, we lean into the wisdom of the trees—their patience, their stillness, their way of belonging to the earth without apology. What if enlightenment isn’t about transcending life, but sinking more deeply into it?...
Everything is Made of Stories 28.07.2025 21:27
The universe is stitched together with stories. Stories about who we are, where we’re from, what matters, and what’s possible. Even the atoms tell a story—of stars that died so we could live. In this episode, we explore the idea that story is not just how we entertain ourselves—it’s how we make meaning. How we survive. How we connect. Every belief, every nation, every family, every identity is wra...
The Problem with 'Normal' 21.07.2025 34:18
Normal is a moving target. A slippery word we use to police behavior, silence difference, and shrink ourselves to fit. But what if ‘normal’ is the problem? In this episode, we unpack the myth of normalcy—the invisible scripts that tell us who we’re supposed to be, how we’re supposed to act, and what success is supposed to look like. We ask why we so often trade our wild, glorious weirdness for the...
The Soul of a City 14.07.2025 32:33
What gives a place its spirit? Some cities hum with life. Others feel hollow. In The Soul of a City, we explore the invisible forces that shape how places feel—the architecture, the stories, the scars, and the dreams that give a city its pulse. From memory-laden streets to towering skylines, we ask: Why do some places feel alive… and others don’t? Through conversations with architects, artists, hi...
Why We Need More Sacred Nonsense 07.07.2025 30:10
In a world obsessed with certainty, productivity, and polished perfection, what happens when we make space for the ridiculous, the irrational, the weird, and the wonderfully absurd? This episode is a joyful, spirited defense of clowns, paradoxes, nonsense poems, surreal art, and divine disruption — the sacred mischief-makers who remind us that not everything needs to make sense to matter. Because...
Why the Void is Full of Possibility 30.06.2025 32:36
We’ve been taught to fear the silence. To run from the empty spaces. To cram our calendars, fill the gaps, grab our phones the moment boredom creeps in. But what if the void—the blank space, the pause, the quiet—isn’t something to avoid? What if it’s the birthplace of everything? The womb of creativity. The spark of insight. The edge where new worlds begin. In this episode, we explore the paradox...
Time is Weird and You Are Too 23.06.2025 26:57
Linear time? Nah. We’ve been told that time marches forward—steady, predictable, one second at a time. But what if that’s just… one story among many? In this episode, we crack open the clock and peek inside. From ancient cultures that saw time as a spiral, to trippy psychedelic journeys where minutes melt into eternities, to physicists who casually suggest that past, present, and future might all...
The Myth of the Lone Genius 16.06.2025 30:07
We love the story of the lone genius. The isolated mastermind. The solitary artist birthing brilliance from a cabin in the woods or a cluttered garage. But what if that story… is a myth? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the seductive idea of the solo genius—and explore how true innovation is rarely a one-person show. Instead, we’ll look at how community, chaos, and conversation are oft...
How to Live Like a Question Mark 09.06.2025 17:58
What if the most honest way to live… is to not always have the answers? This podcast is a meditation on curiosity, wonder, and the sacred art of not knowing. In a world obsessed with certainty, we explore the beauty of the question—the way it opens, softens, and invites. Part philosophy, part storytelling, and part soul-search, Living Like a Question Mark is for anyone who suspects that mystery mi...
The Universe is Laughing, Are You? 02.06.2025 22:49
What if the universe isn’t against you… it’s just got better timing? The Universe Is Laughing... Are You? is a soulful, slightly irreverent dive into the wild, unpredictable rhythms of life. In this episode, we explore the cosmic joke that is control—how we chase it, how we lose it, and how sometimes, when we finally let go, everything falls into place. Blending humor, story, and spiritual insight...
Enneagram Nine: The Peaceful Anchor 26.05.2025 40:03
Nines are the calm in the chaos, the peacemakers, the gentle harmonizers who often forget their own voice while trying to keep the peace. In this episode, we explore the journey of the Nine—the pull toward comfort, the resistance to conflict, and the deep wisdom they carry when they finally show up as themselves. Because peace isn't passive. It's powerful.
Enneagram Eight: The Fierce Protector 19.05.2025 40:01
Eights are bold, intense, and often larger than life. In this episode, we meet the Challenger—the one who carries a fire for justice and a deep fear of betrayal. We'll explore their passion, their pushback against vulnerability, and the surprising tenderness hidden beneath their armor. This is a story about power, protection, and the freedom found in trust.
Enneagram Seven: The Sacred Enthusiast 12.05.2025 38:36
Say hello to the Enthusiast—the adventurer, the joy-seeker, the one who’s always chasing the next big thrill. But beneath the fun is a deeper longing: to avoid pain, to outrun discomfort. This episode uncovers the shadow side of positivity, the brilliance of vision, and the journey from escapism to embodiment. Because for Sevens, the real magic comes when they finally stop running.
