Summary
This week on the podcats, author Christine Flynn shares her personal journey from New Age spirituality to embracing the Catholic faith. She discusses the challenges of navigating beliefs, the importance of parenting in a spiritually aware environment, and the influences that shaped her faith. Christine also addresses the complexities of modern spirituality, including the debate around yoga and its implications for Catholics. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes the significance of open conversations about faith and spirituality, both with children and within the community.
