0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. Today on the show, I welcome Reverend Michael B. Beckwith. Michael is the founder and spiritual director of the Agape International Spiritual Center,
0:23.4	a transdenominational multicultural community based in Los Angeles.
0:29.9	And if you live in Los Angeles or you're just visiting,
0:33.8	I really just can't recommend enough the experience of going to Agape on a Sunday morning.
0:43.7	Michael's sermons are really just nothing short of transformational. He truly has this ability
0:50.9	to channel some greater spirit.
0:54.2	His eyes gonna roll back into his head.
0:57.4	And he is just a conduit for something greater.
1:02.1	And the congregation, if you can really call it that,

1:49.8	So Michael's program was a really a buoy in the choppy seeds of early lockdown for so many.
1:58.7	And of course, it remains highly useful today. So in our discussion, Michael and I
2:04.9	explore many of life's challenges and the ability of a meditation practice to address them. As you'll hear,
2:15.3	Michael and I really have a great synergy and very much enjoy our repartee.
2:21.6	I recently appeared on his podcast titled Take Back Your Mind, so you can pop over to his show and check that out if you're so inclined.
2:33.0	Before we dive in, if you want to hear Reverend Beckwith
