The Deeper Truths Hidden Inside Christianity — Aaron Abke

About this episode

Niall interviews Aaron Abke about his journey from ministry to exploring deeper truths in consciousness and spirituality.

In this interview, Niall speaks with Aaron Abke, an author and spiritual teacher who left a career in ministry to pursue a deeper understanding of consciousness and spiritual awakening. After what he describes as a transformative two-week period where he was “incapable of suffering,” Aaron devoted his life to understanding freedom from suffering and helping others find it.
