Creating Space for the Holy Spirit
I first heard of Ruah Space when I met Phil in Atlanta at a YogaFaith Teacher Training. I signed up for the meditation course and loved every bit. I really enjoy all the topics and guests on the podcasts, as well as being invited as a guest because Phil and Erin are so passionate about their work and are the greatest hosts. Thank you for creating space to not only learn and grow deeper with Christ but creating space for the Holy Spirit to breathe upon your listeners! Keep up the amazing work, In Him, Michelle Thielen
Pastor Approved
As a pastor of a church and a Seminary Grad I find Ruah Space to be a refreshing by return to the historic mysticism of the early church. As runaway biblicism seeks to deconstruct the essential nature of connection with the ground of all being, Ruah provides a opposing force to draw people back into the mystery and wonder of the almighty. They do this not by abandoning intellectualism to the biblicists but by reclaiming it for the mystical. Highly recommend
