Today's Spiritual Charlotte podcast (Episode 18) with Progressive Christian Pastor, Susan Heafner-Heun, of Inclusion Community Church in Cornelius, North Carolina, is an exciting exploration of the Christian calendar year and the season of Epiphany, which we now find ourselves in.

Not familiar with Epiphany? No worries. You're in for a MAGIcal treat! (You'll see what we did there when you listen to the show. teehee)

Not a Christian? Not an issue. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the direction this conversation takes and the parallels you'll be able to draw in regards to your own journey.

Identify as a Christian? You'll appreciate this deeper dive into a season that invites us to sift through the darkness, follow and trust the Light, give our gifts, enter new spiritual spaces and journey in new ways.

This is the first of 7 Christian seasons that we'll be taking a digital pilgrimage through with Susan through out the year. Beginning with Advent and ending with Christmas, the events and stories of the Christian calendar give us many opportunties for personal reflection and unique, ancient, and even mystical connection with the Divine in our everyday lives.

You may find, as we did, a surprising amount of peace in the story of the journey of the Magi, and a beautiful invitation to seek bravely, discover differently, and open the door a bit wider to let new life in. We hope you do!
