Most people miss what’s right in front of them—not because it isn’t there, but because they’ve trained themselves not to see. In this first episode, I take a look at spiritual blindness through the story of Balaam and his donkey. You’ll hear what Dallas Willard and C.S. Lewis had to say about animals, children, and unfiltered spiritual perception — and why it should unsettle anyone who thinks they’ve got clarity.

This episode kicks off Healing the Spiritual Senses, a series about recovering the kind of spiritual perception most have lost in a world of distraction, overthinking, and improper use of the body. If you’re tired of missing what matters, this is for you.
