The Mystics Would Like A Word:Shannon Evans Joins Us.

from The Expansionist Podcast · host Shelly Shepherd and Heather Drake

Send us Fan MailIts a great, great day here and we are just thrilled to share the mic with Shannon Evans. In her latest book, "The Mystics Would Like A Word," Shannon highlights the profound legacy of women mystics like Marjorie Kemp, Catherine of Siena, and Teresa of Avila who trusted their own souls despite living in deeply patriarchal contexts. Their witness offers guidance for contemporary spiritual seekers navigating questions of institutional belonging and spiritual authenticity. Perhaps most powerfully, Shannon compassionately addresses those facing criticisms for expanding their spiritual horizons. Reminding us of Jesus's teaching that "the kingdom of God is within you," she validates our capacity to trust inner spiritual guidance. This isn't about the idea of rejecting external wisdom but recognizing that discerning truth is part of our spiritual birthright—we were created with an inner compass worthy of trust, the Holy Spirit.Ready to explore feminine spirituality and mystical wisdom?
