Moments of Meaning: Finding Freedom in Surrender—with Arya Badiyan

Moments of Meaning is a podcast produced by Baha’i Teachings and hosted by Sean Hinton. 

In each episode, Sean speaks to someone whose life has been profoundly affected by the writings of the Baha’i Faith. Each guest shares with Sean their “moment of meaning” — whether it’s a big life choice, a turning point in their career, an inspiration or an insight. They share the passages from the Baha’i writings that were part of this moment, and explain the changes this moment inspired in their lives. 

In this episode Sean Hinton speaks to Arya Badiyan, an artist born in Chicago and raised in Grenada. She’s lived all over the world, but now lives in Portland, Oregon. Arya shares the story of one of the most turbulent times of her life, and the prayer that carried her through it.
