Dr. Carl Adair of the Episocopal Mission in Sunnyside in Queens, NY about loneliness and finding community. The Rev. Carl Adair shares the loneliness and joy of starting a new church, overcoming the pressure to carry our burdens alone, how becoming a parent transforms all relationships, and how solitude and loneliness can also help lead us to deeper understanding.

How do you live fully by keeping the end in mind – allowing the acceptance of our mortality to lead to freedom? Faith Curious from Trinity Church host Summerlee Staten explores the act of living a meaningful life with interfaith minister and author Barbara Becker about her book "Heartwood: The Art of Living With the End in Mind." They explore how death can be a portal to meaning, the freedom that comes with accepting our limitations, the intersectionality of joy and sorrow, practices of grief across faiths, and why we all deserve space to feel anger and frustration when facing our own and other mortality.
