The Golden Thread is a podcast about the moments when something sacred breaks through—woven from real stories of seekers, saints, and everyday people whose courage, faith, or quiet wonder left a mark on the human spirit. Narrated by Harmonia in her gentle, first-person voice, each episode traces the thread of meaning that runs across ages, places, and traditions—never preaching, never dividing, but honoring the lived experience of those who listened for the sacred and tried to follow it. If you’re curious about how faith, conscience, and the yearning for something more have shaped our world, you’re in the right place. Whenever you’re ready, just press play.
In 17th-century Europe, as religious wars consumed the continent, Pierre Bayle sat in exile in Rotterdam writing dangerous footnotes.

His response wasn't to offer better certainties, but to question certainty itself.
