Listen Later

Check out this recent episode from my podcast What Really Matters that includes why we need death-aware spirituality.

This week I’m taking a little summer break from interviews and sharing with you a recent episode from my newly-relaunched podcast What Really Matters. I discuss the importance of spirituality right now at this particular time in our society and specifically what I think of as “death-aware” spirituality. I hope you find it interesting.
