Desert Voices: Critical Thinking to Cultivate Well-Being

56. Exploring Mystic Spirituality with Laura Beth Buchleiter - Part 1

Shaleen Kendrick & Ryan Lambros Season 4 Episode 56

"If we stop at God is mystery. Then there's an equity to everyone who is willing to embrace God's mystery. And that's where mysticism becomes a much stronger spiritual platform to look at the world from, for me."
-Laura Beth

Part 1 with Laura Beth Buchleiter and Shaleen Kendrick exploring what it means to fully embrace and step into the mystery we call God (and the future.)

"Mysticism is not just about not having answers. It's the comfort of not having answers, and the lack of a need to have answers. It's embracing mystery for the sake of mystery."
