The Lion’s Roar Podcast - Un pódcast de Lion’s Roar Foundation

In this episode, Lion's Roar Assistant Editor Sandi Rankaduwa talks to James Ishmael Ford, a Zen priest and Unitarian Universalist minister who describes himself as having a "Buddhist brain, a Christian heart, and a rationalist stomach." James shares what first drew him to Zen, how he balances it with his role as a Unitarian Universalist minister, and whether these two traditions complement each other. We also dive into the power of Zen koans, the roles of doubt and uncertainty in spiritual growth, and his advice for those seeking a spiritual guide.  This episode is sponsored by Minding the Gap Coaching: mindingthegapcoaching.com
