This has nothing to do with religion or belief but rather is focused on how to actually know and experience God in everyday life.

In this podcast we explore from a spiritual and non-religious perspective what reverence means and how your level of reverence supports or holds back your spiritual awakening. What is reverence really? Can you grow in reverence, how does it relate to worship, devotion, love and other positive aspects of awakening?
