Before we start the episode, I wanted to note that I do have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to this podcast.

This episode is coming from a Christian perspective, so if that's something that doesn't fit what you're looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week with Hilda Gore, or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you do not want to miss.
