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.

The Shape of Time: A Conversation with Diana Butler Bass
What if time itself could become a doorway into the sacred? In this conversation, writer, historian, and theologian Diana Butler Bass joins Winston Janusz to explore how the Christian calendar offers an alternative rhythm to our hurried, secular world. Drawing from her brand new book A Beautiful Year, Diana reimagines the shape of time as something non-linear—more like a spiral or labyrinth—inviting us to live with courage, gratitude, and hope in the midst of change.
Together they reflect on how sacred time can ground us in love, resist empire, and help us rediscover God’s presence in the ordinary seasons of life.
