Lauren Lewey and Israel Joy guide The Christian Mystic Podcast-Yeshua’s Way, offering a deep and practical exploration of Christian mysticism that feels both ancient and immediately relevant. Their conversations are grounded in specific texts and practices, primarily "The Way of the Heart" and the Aramaic Lord's Prayer, which they approach not as historical artifacts but as living maps for inner transformation. Each episode unfolds as a reflective dialogue, where these long-time teachers and students of the Way of Mastery share from their direct experience. You’ll hear Lauren’s unique background as a Certified Somatic Sex Educator and facilitator with the Prison Yoga Project and military communities weave together with Israel’s perspective as a long-standing channel for Yeshua. This blend creates a rare space where intellectual understanding of mystical principles meets embodied, felt-sense practice. The podcast consistently bridges contemplation with tangible tools, incorporating their shared expertise in Breathwork and somatic modalities informed by Internal Family Systems. It’s less about abstract theology and more about how these teachings reshape daily life from the inside out. Listening feels like being invited into an ongoing, compassionate inquiry into what it means to walk a path of heart-centered awakening, with all its challenges and grace. Their combined voices make the mystical accessible, focusing on integration and the direct knowing that comes from a committed spiritual practice. This is a podcast for those seeking a grounded, experiential, and deeply personal encounter with the core of the Christian mystical tradition.
