I believe in the concept of “reincarnation”, but the struggle to define that concept suffers from the different perspectives of religions, scholars, critics, and proponents alike. But can a “Christian” believe in the basic concept of reincarnation? I discuss whether that is possible, and I call it the “grafting” of reincarnation onto Christianity.

==============================================
My podcasts are targeted towards left-brained types like me, whose rigid view of life restricted us from considering things outside of the tightly-organized spiritual paradigm we either grew up with or built for ourselves.
Follow my podcasts for discussions about some serious topics like grief, human suffering, prayer, religion, and spiritual practices. I also cover things that I used to consider craziness or “woo-woo” such as: meditation, manifestation, spiritualism, spiritual awakening, reincarnation, past-life regression, the channeling of spirits and aliens (seriously…), soul groups, astrology, and even Chinese fortune cookies!
