Growing Closer to Christ through Entheogens
Growing Closer to Christ through Entheogens
At the age of 15, I had a powerful encounter with God through a rather unorthodox means- that of psychedelics. Thus began my walk with Christ in a personal way. Over the past three decades I've realized that I'm far from alone in this experience, and have come to understand that with prayer, a solid community, and holy intention one's faith can be deepened, and old wounds healed with the aid of the psychedelic plants that God has created for our good.
