17. Happy Ayyam-i-Ha! Why it's the most wonderful time of the year

Happy Ayyam-i-Ha! This episode is high energy so get ready! I've been reflecting on how it can be hard to remember and celebrate Baha'i holidays when living in a Christian-dominant society. Ayyam-i-Ha, especially for those of us without kids, often gets forgotten or minimized in this busy time of year. 2 months after the rush of Christmas and New Years, you may be feeling burnt out or unsure of how (or why) to celebrate Ayyam-i-Ha! Today I talk about the importance of building Ayyam-i-Ha traditions and putting effort into celebrating it, ideas for how you can bring the Ayyam-i-Ha vibes this year, and I'll discuss why Baha'u'llah has been so clear in giving us "these days outside of time" to be generous and joyful! Thanks for listening <3 Leave a 5 star review if this inspired you!

15. The Baha'i Faith is Unique: Reflecting on the unique nature of the Baha'i Faith and why seekers may turn away

A few years ago I met a woman for coffee who was interested in the Baha’i faith. I think she ended up going to a book 1 and some events, but didn’t end up remaining in the community or declaring. A few months later, maybe even a year, I saw that she started posting about Jesus and Christianity. he wasn’t religious and I don't think she was raised Christian. But here she was, a devout Christian after being very interested in the Baha'i Faith. It made me wonder why Christianity was so attractive and not the Baha’i Faith? Obviously this was her spiritual journey, but I've seen this happen before.  In this podcast I reflect on why the Baha'i Faith is unique from other religions in a way that may make it harder for seekers to easily explore and join the community.
