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 befriend the very creatures we fear most. Because maybe the monsters aren’t here to destroy us. Maybe they’re here to teach us.

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’t dance without a body).

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 nature itself. From forest fires to compost piles, from Jonah in the fish to Jesus in the tomb, the path of becoming is always messy before it’s beautiful. With honesty, story, and wonder, we’ll wrestle with what it means to sit in the in-between, to see endings as fertile soil, and to discover God not beyond the chaos but right in the middle of it.
Because the holy mess isn’t what you escape—it’s where the miracle is born.

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 pastuntil it’s spoken?
Through story, scripture, and soulful reflection, we explore the kind of truth-telling that sets you free—not clean, not easy,but honest.
Because the ghosts won’t leaveuntil they’re acknowledged.
And maybethe first step toward freedomis simply this:Speak.

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 talk about scarcity and abundance,desire and contentment,capitalism and manna,scrolling and stillness.
We’ll ask the big questions:What if the ache for more isn’t a flaw—but a guide?What if enough isn’t a finish line—but a practice?A breath.A way of being.
Because maybe you don’t have to hustle for your worth.Maybe you don’t have to prove anything.
Maybe you can want to growand rest in what is.Maybe you can hold desire in one handand gratitude in the other.
Maybe enough isn’t something you find.Maybe it’s something you live.

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 possibilitythat the world is still enchanted…and always was.
We’ll talk mystics and quantum physics,rituals and raindrops,the sacred in the ordinaryand the shimmering mystery of everything.
Because what ifmagic isn’t a trick?What if it’s attention?What if the universe is relational,and your noticing matters?
What if lighting a candleisn’t just ambiance—but participation?
This isn’t about escaping reality.It’s about waking up to it.

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 workingand 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…you’re learning to hear again.
One episode at a time, you’ll be invitedto leave the map,follow the compass,and take the next small, true step.
Because sometimes,the most courageous thing you can dois admit:This map doesn’t work anymore.
And that?That’s where the journey begins.

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 hidden laboratory where ideas ferment. Where creativity brews. Where the soul quietly rearranges itself beneath the surface. Could it be that the most meaningful things emerge when we resist the urge to fill the silence? What if boredom is where the real alchemy begins?

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 becomes more than a mood—when it becomes a habit. A posture. A way of being human. What if the most sacred thing you can do today is to notice? To ask questions without rushing for answers? To let the world be as strange, beautiful, and untamable as it really is?

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, infinite worlds of mind, heart, and spirit. What might it mean to chart the constellations of your inner landscape? To map the mysteries within? Maybe the journey to the outer edges of the universe begins by looking inward.
