Church and Christianity is HBO, not Disney.

Are you tired of buttoned-up talks about religion?  Check out this episode where I spend some time with Eric Fan, founder of Squarage [http://www.squarageglobal.com/] to talk about his new Christian devotional book, WTF: Where's The Faith.  We cover real topics of Christian faith, like forgiveness and handling loss, but in a real way.  We go deep and real while keeping it light and approachable. 

"If you’re a Gen Z or Millennial Christian and you’re discouraged, jaded, lukewarm, a church dropout, and/or struggling with your faith, then this book is for you."

I spend time with Carolyn Iga - a musician, business owner, former atheist, former pastor, missionary and democrat.   We talk religion and politics - something that many shy away from, but I'm putting it out there with the hope that it would be constructive during this season.    

We cover lots of ground, including her journey into Christianity as well as her time spent as an atheist.  We discuss the essence of Christianity and compare and contrast it with what we're seeing in politics today.  

Take a moment to appreciate a story and widen your perspective.  Thanks for listening!
