The Devotional Hearts Show (hosted by Alison: Christian Life Coach and Femininity Mentor) will both inspire and educate you on topics related to Apostolic Christianity. Alison's guests are Christians on the transformational path of devotion to God. Many have converted from other faiths including Occult/New Age, Islam, Judaism, various denominations of Christianity, and even atheism. Others have been Orthodox their entire lives, and some are members of clergy. Each guest shares about his/her walk with Christ and helps us to further understand the ancient faith. This is the perfect podcast to share with someone who is just starting to become interested in the Church that Jesus and his apostles built. While recording these episodes, Alison was a Catechumen in the Orthodox Faith and is not an authority in, nor does she represent, Eastern Orthodoxy.

Ep29 Jacob Lyles - From Jehova's Witness, To Atheist, To Burning-Man Buddhist Hippie...to Orthodoxy!

Welcome to EPISODE 29 of my channel and podcast: The Devotional Hearts Show!

My guest is Jacob Lyles, also known as Chamomile (Conversations With Chamomile YT Channel). This interview first aired on my YT channel in January of 2022.

Jacob is an Orthodox man whose life has been transformed by Eastern Orthodox Christianity in many ways! He shares his journey with us in this interview and gives us insight into many topics including: the importance and value of being part of the Ancient Church, Divine Liturgy, Humility, and more!

Jacob is well-educated in many facets of politics, religion and philosophy, and he has traveled and experienced altered states with the use of psychedelic drugs. In fact, his first experience with mushrooms was at Burning Man in 2012. This experience set him on a course of events that would eventually lead him to a monastery in New Mexico and his first Divine Liturgy.

We also discuss the fact that although some who have used psychedelics have had profound results (including opening the heart and healing from depression for example), the ultimate Truth and healing is in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Please note: When my guests and I discuss psychedelics and New Age Spirituality, it is never to create any kind of fascination with them for our viewers.
