Conversations with Chamomile Jacob Lyles

I sit down with Beacon, NY artist Matt Harle to talk about his conversion to Judaism. We talk about how he wrestles with God, how Judaism relates to his art, and his fascination with Jewish death practices. 

I sit down with Philosophy PHD dropout Jon Badiali (IsDoBe.com) to talk about his journey into Christianity. He goes through nihilism, stops by Heidegger, and binges on Spinozan Pantheism but finds it all a deeply unsatisfying answer to the problem of suffering. Ultimately, he finds his rock in Christ. We talk a bit about Eastern Orthodoxy and Fr. Seraphim Rose, a conversation I find delightful. Enjoy!

Mike Elias is a crypto entrepreneur and spiritual seeker (mikeelias.com). He discusses with me his spiritual journey through Radical Honesty, many different kinds of meditation, and many dark times and happy coincidences to ultimately find his rest in Christ Jesus. 

Youtube creator John Barnes and talk about his journey from nihilism to becoming a Roman Catholic.

Today I have a poignant conversation with Joel and Dany from San Francisco Suicide Prevention, a crisis hotline based in San Francisco. I started volunteering there a few months ago, and I noticed that people in my life found it interesting. So, I figured I'd do an episode on it!
 
We talk about why we joined, how de-stigmatizing suicidal feelings helps people access resources, and lots of details about life at the hotline. Enjoy!
