Ep05. Experiencing God w/ Sherin Wafaai

Let's get spiritual, baby

Were you brought up in a religious family? How did your relationship with religion change as you grew up?

It is Sunday and I am back! This time with my wife, who had and continues to have a very interesting relationship with religion and the different ways we get to experience God.

In this episode:

  • Her story from trying to please God by getting veiled to rebelling after someone tried to shame her in acting a certain way.

  • How she found God in a way that is more meaningful for her.

  • The basics of self-love, self-compassion, and healing!

  • Why chapter 5 is so important for the story, and why I chose to create so much tension around the protagonistโ€™s relationship with religion

How far did you make it in the book?

ANNOUNCING A 2 WEEK INTERMISSION

Alright, weโ€™re halfway into Part I now, so it is time to get up stretch, and grab a new bag of caramelized popcorn because the story is about to get to its climax!

For the next two weeks, I will still be sending you updates as well but instead of commentaries and episodes, I will be asking you questions for your feedback! I want to know what you think of the episodes, chapters, and commentaries before I continue the broadcast!

So please this chance to read some more chapters and to take a deep reflective breath.

We will resume with commentary on chapter 6 on the 30th of May. Paul and I decided to give this show a two-week break in order to prepare for the wild experiments we have for Gumpast Episodes 6,7 and 8 coming to you this June!

You can also catch up on reading the book if you havenโ€™t yet. There are 11 chapters published on this website. You can check it out here on the index.
