HSP #147 What Is Spiritual Companionship?

Welcome to episode #147 of Holy Shenanigans Podcast from the 2023 Wild Goose Festival - this week I visit with a new friend, Jon Carl Lewis, on the topic of Spiritual Direction/Companionship.

Jon Carl Lewis is a spiritual companion dedicated to helping followers of Christ connect more deeply with Christ—and each other—so that they might live with abundant joy, loving God and their neighbor with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. He lives in Trenton, NJ, with his husband of 27 years and Alfred the cat. He feels a special affinity with contemplatives of any tradition and the LGBTQIA+ community. Jon Carl is always open to chat.
Please schedule a free hour with him at https://calendly.com/joncarllewis/60min and find out about all of his projects at linktr.ee/joncarllewis.
