They talk about Bell’s deeply profound and personal new book EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL: Who We Are and What We’re Doing Here in which he explores the endless dynamic questions and connections that have shaped his life, providing powerful insight into understanding one's purpose and place in the world. From our world-class numbing system to families of origin to superpowers and vulnerability to living in the eternal now to the center of the universe to abundance thinking, Annie Grace and Rob Bell talk about it all.

Hey, it’s Annie Grace. I want to tell you about the most important book that I never wrote. I mean that. This is This Naked Life. It is 48 true stories of people finding freedom from alcohol.
