The Sacred Thread Podcast
The Sacred Thread Podcast explores the contemplative path that is rooted in the Christian tradition, while also drawing from many sources (such as Buddhist wisdom and modern psychology) to illuminate this path. Hosted by Winston Janusz — a meditation teacher, licensed therapist, and ordained pastor — this show is for seekers who long for peace, presence, and meaning in a restless world. Through reflections and conversations, we trace the sacred thread woven through everyday life, awakening to the Spirit in all things and cultivating compassion, connection, and resilience.

Bridging Science and Spirit: A Conversation with Linnea Butler
In this episode, Winston is joined by Linnea Butler, MS, LMFT — a former research scientist turned trauma therapist and writer who weaves spirituality into her work. Their conversation explores Linnea’s own spiritual journey, her experience with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and how neuroscience and consciousness studies intersect with soul wisdom. They discuss trauma healing and the search for awe, the role of kindness and community in mental health, and the possibility of personal and collective transformation.
