We're back in The Around The Fire podcast studio recording this last episode in the Soul Path, Spiritual Experiences series.

Jonny & Sarah wrap up this mini series within the bigger umbrella series of Soul Path. Our next 4 episodes look at the theme of Fasting.

Spiritual Experiences are products of grace, which we all have in common, and can look very different from each other but are how we build up a community. Our direction of thinking is to be humble and respectful towards each other.

How does Holy Spirit work to bring gifts or to help us with the grace given to us?

How can we make space in our lives for more spiritual experiences?

It's the last of 5 weeks of podcast goodness, complete with special guests, recorded on location.
