Spiritual Nomad is a podcast for seekers with a curious mind and open heart, exploring the landscape of spirituality in pursuit of deeper meaning and authentic inner realization.
Since 2017, host Luke Bricker has shared openly about the evolution of his own spiritual path, while inviting listeners into conversations and reflections on mystic Christianity, contemplative practice, and inter-spiritual wisdom.
While the podcast originally began during a season of evangelical deconstruction, it has since grown with Luke's journey to integrate themes from Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, Kashmir Shaivism, A Course in Miracles, Gnosticism, and Western Esoteric traditions.
Spiritual Nomad seeks to offer a thoughtful space for seekers to glean from both ancient wisdom and modern expressions of the spiritual journey.
If you are drawn to meditation, mysticism, and the evolving story of spirituality in our time, you will find a home here.

Someone sent me a DM on Instagram asking what the difference is between mystic and progressive Christianity.
I thought it would be a good idea to make a podcast / youtube video based on my response.
The short answer, if think holistically, is:
Mystic = soul / spirit
Progressive = body & mind

In this episode Luke shares 3 ways we can have healthy confrontations with people who are having trouble understanding our deconstruction or not fond of the way we are reconstruing our faith, beliefs, and values.
Here are the points:
1. Don't take their frustration personally. *Most* of the time their anger is about the idea/theology, not you as an individual person.
2. Exercise immense emotional intelligence and have a lot of empathy. This is hard, but crucial!
3. Don't second guess your path based on someone else's opinion!

@aleck_christian (founder of Beautiful San Diego @BSDMurals) and I have a pretty intense conversation about why I still associate myself as a Christian. I love how he didn’t shy away from asking the hard questions and challenged my approach to progressive Christianity. I share some pretty abstract thoughts and ideas that may-or-may-not be received easily in Christian communities...
