https://kishar.org/ Have you ever considered the extraordinary path one takes from the frontlines of war to the peaceful embrace of spirituality? John Lawyer, a former counterintelligence special agent with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan behind him, joins us to recount an incredible journey of transformation. Growing up in a Southern Baptist household, John's youthful quest for adventure and a role in counterterrorism propelled him into the military, but it was his poignant experiences on foreign soil that served as a catalyst for profound personal change.
Embark on a soul-stirring exploration as we discuss the delicate process of healing and letting go, a path John and I have both wandered. The conversation takes us through the epiphanies that arise when we release our grasp on control, finding solace in the vastness of the universe. We honor the unique and difficult road that veterans tread upon returning home and discuss how traditional medicine can be complemented by spiritual practices. Hear John's revealing insights into the deep inner peace he's found, and how it has allowed him to guide others along similar paths to enlightenment.
The narrative then gently guides you through the embracing arms of Universalism, a perspective that holds all spiritual truths as interconnected. John shares his personal awakening, driven by an insatiable hunger for knowledge and understanding, which led him to question rigid religious doctrines and discover a more inclusive approach to faith. Together, we explore the underappreciated spiritual practices that have shaped great leaders and discuss the formation of 'Kishar', a sanctuary where individuals can connect and grow their spiritual selves. Tune in for an episode that transcends the mere recounting of experiences and becomes a testament to the power of spiritual attunement and community support.
