Welcoming God

About Welcoming God

Hey spiritual seeker! My name’s Sarah Haykel and I’m the host of Welcoming God, a podcast for spiritual seekers. In this podcast, I’ll be sharing the goodness of Welcoming God back into my life after years of rebelling against the God of my Catholic upbringing and years of honest seeking on a personal spiritual path. I’ll share my consistently evolving understanding of God and what I’m learning on the path, to help create a God accessible to the every day person. We’ll have honest and sometimes hilarious conversations about how to go from being a “spiritual” person to a God-loving person. Understanding God as a benevolent guide. What does it mean to have a relationship with God? What does it mean to surrender to God? Cultivating a spiritually mature understanding of God. Learning how to discern God’s truth and will for our lives. How to cultivate the most important relationship you’ll ever have, with God, on a daily, moment to moment basis. Come along on this spiritually rEvolutionary journey where we get to know God. This podcast is marked as explicit because there may be swearing or content appropriate for mature audiences in some of the episodes.

I walk through how simple noticing creates space between “adult me” an...

   Manifesting With God: Wanting What's Right For Me

   Manifesting sounds like an empowering tool, but what happens when you manifest something that's not actually right for you or good for the whole of life? I’m Sarah, and today I’m getting honest about jealousy, envy, and covetousness, plus the emotional hangover that can come from chasing a desire that isn’t actually aligned with our life or God’s will for us! Powerful stuff. I reflect on a simple line I once heard from Eckhart Tolle: “Don’t want what you don’t need.” Then I hold that next to...

   Jealousy, Envy & Covetousness: What If Your Desire Is Not Your Destiny

   Jealousy, envy and couventous desires can feel totally cringe! But, don't throw them out and just try to make them go away! How can seeking to understand these thoughts and feelings and what motivates them help you to uncover something deeper, something way more fruitful than having what others have? Today I’m reframing jealousy, envy and covetousness through a spiritual lens and asking a question that cuts straight through comparison: What does God want for me? We talk honestly ...
