Description
Hosted by Tony Award-winner Levi Kreis, The Church of Kreis Podcast is a space for seekers, misfits, creatives, and old souls who crave deeper conversation. Whether he’s unpacking the emotional landscape of a new musical, reflecting on personal transformation, or exploring the soulful journey of artists across the UK and beyond, Levi invites you into real-time, unpolished becoming.
Part personal journal, part spiritual companion, part backstage pass — this is where artistry meets authenticity.
New episodes explore everything from creative recovery to inner child healing, spiritual reflection to the realities of life on and offstage — all grounded in the messy, meaningful process of being fully human.
Recorded between the US and the UK, the podcast now welcomes UK-based theatre artists, singer-songwriters, and soulful storytellers into the conversation.

It's a topic we discussed on season one with the Spiritual Doula Ms. Anjie Hosley. A topic we've discussed with classical-crossover recording artist Jason Antone. But today I do some solo reflection on why I personally have not quite gotten this concept in my own life. I remind myself (and you the listener) of the importance of boundaries as necessary of preserving one's energy and experiencing a greater degree of self love. I also feature a song about self worth from the album Imagine Paradise called Taking Back My Boogie.Support the show

Send us a text Recovering addicts here in San Francisco will tell you first hand there is a direct correlation between homelessness and substance abuse.

Send us a text Focused on the liberating nature of letting your guard down and just being yourself, Anyway You Wanna was a song written for our LGBTQ+ youth to inspire and encourage them to know self-love on the deepest possible level. But the message of valuing who we are is not just for the young, for many of us still carry deep wounds that linger still from a long arduous journey of coming out. This episode not only tells the backstory of how the song came to be, but seeks to m...

Send us a text Forgiveness is not easy to come by sometimes, but nine times outta ten we are the ones that are still suffering - not them. We are the only ones hurting by holding on to it. Sometimes all the universe needs to hear is that little whisper from us that says "I am willing". Just asking the universe to show us what we need to let go of - to show us who we need to become in order to forgive - it sets things in motion. In this episode, I discuss the experience...
Send us a text Did you know that those of us who are prone to addiction are a special little breed with a natural inclination towards spiritual transcendence? The problem is that we are seeking that transcendental experience through false substitutes. When we realize that spirituality is the door to that transcendence, something clicks for us and we find a profound power. If we daily invest in a spiritual solution, life can be a daily high that only Spirit can provide. ...
Send us a text Emotions are our internal guidance system. They are to be observed and evaluated, but not necessarily absorbed as our identity. Becoming the observer of our emotions creates a healthy distance between feeling and "being" that feeling. "I am angry" vs "I have anger" is notably different vibration. Instead of identifying with every rush of emotion we have, it is possible to become the thoughtful observer of our feelings and follow them down to the fundamen...
