  • Turning to the Mystics is a podcast for people searching for something more meaningful, intimate and richly present in the divine gift of their lives. James Finley, clinical psychologist and Living School faculty, offers a modern take on the historical contemplative practices of Christian mystics like Teresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, John of the Cross among others.

Worth a listen

I enjoyed learning about the mystics, contemplative prayer, and appreciated James Finley's psychological perspective in addition to his faith journey.

Eternal Information

James Finley points the way to something higher than information. He is not just giving knowledge. He's sharing his experience. As he talks, my soul and spirit awaken to what is seldom talked about in our world today. Experiential spirituality. Oneness with God.

A remarkable series

For anyone who wants to learn more about mysticism (contemplative life) either historical or contemporary, this series is highly recommended. If you are a mystic, think you might be, or just want to learn more about the subject , this podcast takes you deep into the mystery. While primarily an examination of Christian mysticism, Jim acknowledges and quotes from a wide range of religious traditions.

Chance Or Providential?

I just discovered this podcast today (1/16/2023) while listening to some Audible samples about Mysticism. Was it by chance or......Something Else? I don't know, but I am looking forward to devouring this podcast, along with learning more about Mr.Finley , Mr.Rohr, and CAC. Bravo!
