About this episode

Michael Jon Watt shares his journey of finding his birth father and exploring the concept of intuition.

In this podcast we unpack what it means to find your inner voice - your intuition. What is it? How can you hear it? Is it the voice of God or something else? What happens when we follow that "intuitive hit"? We talk openly about our evangelical upbringing and how it influenced our ability to trust our own knowing. Michael’s intuition led him down many good paths in his lifetime. In this story, we hear about his search for Paul, his birth father - a man who never knew he existed. Would he receive the news of Michael well? Would he want to meet with him? What about the other news ... that his son is gay? There is a lot at stake for Michael in this podcast but even more for Paul. Find out why ... If you haven’t already, I’d highly recommend listening to the first two episodes: Queerly Beloved & Channeling Janice which explore the discovery and unfolding of Michael's life which led him to this point.
