Welcome to Light and Love with Lang
Hello beautiful beings!
I am stoked to welcome you to “Light and Love with Lang!” I’m Lang Charters: writer, yoga teacher, coach and pastor for flourishing, author, doctor in leadership and spiritual formation, and lover of people, life, creation, and God. I’m from Washington state, but have lived/been all over the U.S. and the world—my dad was in the army, and I am medically retired from the air force.
I named this “Light and Love with Lang” because, the light of love is the life-creating, life-giving, and transformative power that has saved my life, shaped me, healed me, and changed me in the most amazing ways. On that note, in 2017 I took some time to uncover my life purpose, which is: To awaken, open to, and be love together. So, in my writings here, you can expect a heavy dose of love (which I view as the giving of oneself for individual and communal flourishing), community, relationships, and experiencing the fullness of life.
With that in mind, a major reason I got a Doctorate of Ministry in Leadership and Spiritual Formation was because, in 2019 I realized my deep passion and desire is to journey with people into ever-greater thriving. I believe we are here to experience the richness of life, so I am committed to helping us do so together.
“Light and Love with Lang” will be real, optimistic, practical, hopeful, joyous, sometimes awkward, and humorous. It will aim to help us bridge divides, and cross boundaries. Since the Way and Love of Jesus has powerfully blessed and transformed my life, there will be some “God-talk,” yet in a way that is inclusive of all manner of people. Whether one believes in a deity, doesn’t, or doesn’t know—all are welcome and wanted here. My vision is to use this platform to help us collectively cocreate an upward spiral founded upon love.
Welcome friends!
Hugs & Love,
Lang (aka “Dr. Love”)
