While my personal life is between me, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, here are some highlights from my professional life:

I was born on April 26, 1951 and circumcised eight days later. (OK, that was personal.)

I earned rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in 1981, and a PH.D. in religion from Union Graduate School in 1985. Over the past forty years I’ve been a USAF chaplain, a congregational rabbi, a business consultant, a university professor, and an author of three dozen books on religion and spirituality.

In 2010 I was initiated into the Ramakrishna Order of Vedanta Hinduism by Swami Swahananda, and became a 32° Scottish Rite Mason (KCCH). Several years later I founded the Order of the Holy Rascal, and joined another secret society, The Grand Lodge of All Beings.

I currently co-direct the One River Foundation (oneriverfoundation.org), write the “Roadside Assistance for the Spiritual Traveler” column for Spirituality & Health Magazine and host the magazine’s podcast “Essential Conversations with Rabbi Rami (spiritualityhealth.com).

And through it all I have wrestled with my addiction to food. (Ah, again with the personal.

Today we talk with the creator and host of the grounded presence podcast Daniel Powell.

Hi, I'm Daniel Powell, author of:

Join me as I explore:

Authentic Identity, Deeper Community, & Spiritual Evolution

​

I believe life isn't really lived unless you are in deep community, being the most authentic version of yourself, and connecting to the world in a spiritual way. It sounds peaceful and serene but it's not easy to  pursue these type of deep connections. It is, however, very rewarding and deeply fulfilling. I don't have the answers or a neatly organized 5 step program that will explain how to create and maintain inner,  external, and spiritual connectedness. I simply have a wholistic longing to delve deeper into these spaces.

Through this blog I'll share stories, experiences, and thoughts about: unearthing your most authentic identity, pursuing more depth in community, and the process of spiritual evolution. I do this  in hopes of encouraging those of you that are seeking a similar deep connection to the self and the world.

Josh Grisetti is primarily an actor working in theatre and television. He has no formal training in writing, philosophy or religion. This memoir is his first book - and probably his last, as he has no further aspirations as a writer.

Josh was born in Washington D.C., grew up just outside of Roanoke, Virginia, and was raised in the Southern Baptist Church. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his dog, Cooter, neither of whom have any specific religious affiliation.
