From Dropout to Devotion: An Odyssey of Transformation September 27, 2024
                                                                Arise o sleeper and Christ will enlighten thee

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor, Shall be lifted — Nevermore!

Edgar Allan Poe

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. – Jesus

In this episode of the Metanoia podcast, I share my testimony from being a college dropout to becoming a nomadic seeker in pursuit of truth. Battling the inner desolation our culture breeds, I began to explore various avenues for healing in new age circles and through the means of occult practices and psychedelic ceremonies. It was Bob Dylan‘s lyrics that spoke to me and ultimately led me to pick up the New Testament, resulting in a profound awakening of the heart. This led me to step away from the “spiritual not religious” crowd, guiding me to find peace and purpose through Christianity.
