103: Part 2/12: Andrea on Faith, Feet Washing, Nike & Nick Cave: How to Build a Relationship with God Series

from Permission To Be Human

103: Part 2/12: Andrea on Faith, Feet Washing, Nike & Nick Cave: How to Build a Relationship with God Series In this luminous convo, Andrea traces the wild arc of her evolving relationship with God — from a routine Catholic childhood to meaningful moments in the woods, Jerusalem, Bucharest and Buddhism--and then finally to Rumi's field, where she found her intuition. Together, they ask: what happens when we stop trying to find God and instead feel God within? This dialogue is both pilgrimage and permission slip — an invocation to question, to trust, to unlearn. If you've felt the pull between devotion and doubt, and sense the sacred might be nearby, listen up. There's a nod to Nick Cave's "Faith, Hope & Carnage", Natalie Goldberg's "Long Quiet Highway" and Marcus J. Borg's "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time" as well as Elizabeth Gilbert. You'll hear:   -Why Andrea cried so much at the Garden Tomb -Reasons to be grateful for a Catholic upbringing -The two books that changed the course of her spirit journey -How a Zoom meeting is like a Catholic mass -How Andrea's prayer has evolved from begging to being in the now -Why feet-washing reminds her to be kind -Why every version of God points to the same love. -Where Buddhism and Christianity meet for her -Why she thinks Nike was right----there's no finish line, only the next unfolding. -How a relationship with God makes her feel more like herself -------------- We're Andrea and Janelle--two midlife mavericks sharing openly about our own experiences--messy AF and no regrets----with marriage, divorce, polyamory and pleasure. You'll hear from relationship experts, meet real life Bravehearts and get intimacy skills.  Truth: When we're brave enough to ask for what we want, honor our  boundaries and have the hard conversations--with partners, friends, family and, most importantly, ourselves--magic happens and happiness ensues. If you're seeking permission to create a new map for relationships and want to feel less alone along the way, we got you. With glitter and radical acceptance, Janelle & Andrea.
