“Thin places” are recognized by most world religions as “real.” While the name and concept are often known to us through ancient Celtic Christianity, the idea is not singularly Christian. Most of the world religions acknowledge that there are places and moments where humanity’s now and God’s now intersect.

In my podcast today, The Wonder Files, I talk about thin places, going into some depth regarding what they are, and how we may find them. I then share a personal thin place from my life.

In the Judeo-Christian tradition there are a number of scriptural references to the “reality” of God being with us. Here are a few such references:

Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it. Genesis 28:16.

God called to him from within the bush… “take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Exodus 3:4-5

I saw the Lord, high and exalted… Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6:1-3

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son. John 1:14

There He was transfigured before them… A voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!’ Matthew 17:2-5

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? … your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.’ Psalm 139:7-10

Revelation 21:3 – Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them… God Himself will be with them and be their God.
