How do you find your spiritual core when life's journey takes unexpected turns?

This bi-weekly podcast episode is filled with personal stories, humor, and listener engagement as we explore the importance of community and love in our ever-changing culture. Today, you will hear about the creation of Praise in the Park, a nonprofit aimed at unity, and the uphill battles faced along the way. As we dig deeper, I share insights from my book, "In All Things Grace," encouraging us to confront our doubts and questions about faith head-on.Ever wondered how modern science and biblical teachings can coexist? We'll navigate these complexities together, discussing the universe's age and evolving biblical interpretations. This episode also highlights an upcoming mid-August community event designed to combat loneliness through the simple joy of crafting and sharing a meal with our neighbors at Heritage and Plaza Towers.
