In our conversation together, we talk about how sharing things with neighbors may just save us, and will cert...
The Rev. Dr. Becca Ehrlich is a spiritual director, author, and is also known to many as the Christian minimalist. In our conversation, Becca chronicles the events that led her and her spouse to give up almost sixty percent of their possessions. Do they regret this newfound spaciousness? Do they run to the big box stores to fill the void? Is her wardrobe devoid of color? And other important questions. Becca tells all; including a m...
Debby Viveros is the leader of Our Selah, a new worshiping community that supports pastors with the church of their very own.
In our conversation, she shares the journey of her own radical, interpretive reshaping of a part of scripture, just two little verses in the whole Bible that boxed her in as a fantastic leader of a dynamic and large women's Bible study.

Our guest is American journalist, spiritual director, and Presbyterian elder Niala Boodhoo.
In part two of our conversation, Niala reveals her professional and personal opinions on just how much news human beings can handle; how the first and the last three minutes of the day can shape our lives; and how clarity can emerge in crisis.
