For those who are regular listeners to this podcast, you will know that we are a non-sectarian

company, which means that Brave Rider supports people from all backgrounds and faiths.

This is not a secular organization in the sense that we protect

the space from any mention of religion. Rather, we represent a wide variety of people and practices and belief systems.

When I get requests to cover a certain book or to invite a certain guest,

I take the content into consideration not merely based on whether

or not the worldview is religious or secular, but based on whether or not that content will

serve members of this wide and diverse community.

Today's episode in particular features the Christian faith.

Today's guest is a Christian who practices her faith through the

Episcopalian denomination. The book that she wrote is designed to support practicing Christians in celebrating the liturgical

calendar throughout the year. If you are from a secular background or another faith and are not interested in this topic, I invite

you to listen to other podcast episodes that are currently available.

If you'd like me to interview and promote the work of someone from your religious

background or secular tradition that you think would benefit this audience,

please send those requests to media at bravewriter.com.

I would happily interview people who represent Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, or secular or atheist traditions.

Thank you so much for tuning in and I hope you'll enjoy today's episode.

Today's guest is Bonnie Smith White House. She's a Nashville-based professor at Belmont

University. She's also a writer. She calls herself a pilgrim not only because

she loves to walk, wander, and contemplate,

but because when she read Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, her life was forever changed.
