059. My God Is Not Your God

What if the very thing you use to measure someone else's faith is the thing keeping you from seeing God in them?

Today's episode is about freedom: your freedom to know God, Divine, Spirit, Universe, in the way your soul recognizes, and every other person's freedom to do the very same. And it's about what becomes possible when we stop treating our differences as threats and start treating them as windows into the heart of God.
