The Homa & The Chapel Perilous (Show Notes)

LISTEN NOW

What happens when you call on Jesus in an ancient Vedic fire ritual? Will he show up? How? In this episode, Michael shares his experience with Homa, a Vedic fire ceremony, and what happened when he decided to dedicate it to Jesus. The result was an unfolding series of synchronicities—stretching across years, continents, and eventually even into the Spirit Train dream—culminating in a moment of undeniable presence. Meanwhile, we explore the Chapel Perilous, the threshold between belief and madness, where meaning breaks through in ways that can’t be ignored.

We briefly summarize the Spirit Train dream at the top of the episode, but if you haven't listened to it yet, you might want to start with the full dream here: All Aboard the Spirit Train: Dreams, Discernment, and Anxiety

This is one of the most powerful stories we’ve told yet. Join us as we wrestle with what it means to see, to trust, and to step into the fire.
