On the SoulStream “Living from the Heart” podcast, we explore encountering God personally, integrating body, soul, mind, and spirit to live authentically in Christ. We discuss becoming open to God’s presence, overcoming obstacles, embracing transformation into Jesus’ image, and cultivating supportive practices. Additionally, we delve into understanding prayer as responsive to the Holy Spirit, ancient practices, and living out contemplative prayer to love neighbors, care for the earth, and seek justice.
In this episode of the SoulStream Living from the Heart Podcast, we welcome poet, writer, and visual artist David Gate. David joins us from his homestead in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where he and his partner raise animals and grow food with intention and care.
David speaks honestly about his journey, from his roots in the UK and the charismatic church to his evolving spirituality, creative life, and the deep desire to show up with love. We discuss the beauty and messiness of community, the courage required to share your art, and the call to care for one another.
He reads from his upcoming book, A Rebellion of Care and shares what it means to live with open eyes and an open heart.
