My journey *back* to Christ - Meaningful Easter - Yoga + Christianity - Mary Magdalene

Emilie Alexina Podcast

Hi! I’m finally back after recovering from my kids being sick…you heard me right, being a 24/7 caretaker for sick people for a few weeks means *I* need time to recover! I’m excited to share this episode which highlights a lot more than I had initially intended. I wanted to share how I bring the Resurrection Story of Christ to my children and then went off on a few tangents. I talk about my childhood experience of religion and Christianity, the rite of marriage outside the Church, revisiting vows with Vitaly after 9 years of partnership, my criticism of the Bible and the Church, my journey to eastern theology, my discovery of the Magdalenes of France, Anna Grandmother of Jesus and Mother Mary which eventually brought me back to welcoming Jesus into my heart along with everyone else. Finally, this all ties into my initial idea for the episode which is making Easter meaningful and what I tell my children about Jesus. *warning! I criticize aspects of the Bible and Christianity in this episode **If you’re a friend or family member that I love, please reach out to me personally to discuss anything here.
