“When you come to the edge of all the light you have and must take a step into the darkness of the unknown, believe that one of two things will happen. Either there will be something solid for you to stand on - or you will be taught how to fly.”

This quote by Patrick Overton is at the heart of my conversation this week with The Rev. Dr. Kate Cress.

The times we live in provide ample opportunities for stress, worry, and anxiety.

Amidst it all - how do we find presence?

How do we cease the regrets of the past and the worries of the future, and just be here in this moment?

These are questions that those on the spiritual path have reflected upon for ages.

For Rev. Kate, Christianity offers her insights and practice through which she can discover her highest self.

For me, that pathway is through Islam.

Together in this conversation we explore the ways our religious and spiritual practice fuel each other and provide us with a blueprint for awakening.

This has to be one of my favorite interfaith conversations I’ve ever had.

Rev. Kate asked some really great questions that allowed me to reflect upon my spirituality in a new way.

The answers and insights we uncovered together really had me saying, “YES!”

This is a really cup-filling episode.

Wherever you are entering this conversation from, I know you will be enriched by it.

Do yourself this favor.

Hit play. :)
