The Modern Pathfinder: Recent Episodes

Wesley Drake

The Modern Pathfinder is a weekly podcast about the never ending search for spiritual growth. Each episode we will deep dive into traditions, myths and spiritual growth practices that will help the listener connect in their own way. As a member of the LGBTQI+ community, there have been many roadblocks faced when it comes to acceptance in a spiritual practice. I hope to break down the wall and allow others to form their own path of enlightenment. This is a Podcast of acceptance, which means all faith traditions and practices have a seat at the virtual table. Let the journey begin.
