Podcast: Ye Gods With Scott Carter
Published On: Wed Sep 16 2026
Description: Author, translator, and mystic teacher, Mirabai Starr, whose newly revised edition of her 2013 book, GOD OF LOVE: A GUIDE TO THE HEART OF JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM, may be a balm to a world weary of politicization, polarization, ignorance and fear. She is also the author of WILD MERCY: LIVING THE FIERCE AND TENDER WISDOM OF THE WOMEN MYSTICS, in which she explores how women across faith traditions have found strength in personal connections with the holy. Mirabai’s other books include translations of works by Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Teresa of Avila, and St. John of the Cross, as well as CARAVAN OF NO DESPAIR: A MEMOIR OF LOSS AND TRANSFORMATION. In CARAVAN, Mirabai chronicles her back-to-the-land, counter-culture upbringing in Taos, New Mexico.  Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices
