This episode, recorded in the fall of 2024 is being released embarrassingly late, now in September 2026. I'll admit, life got to me, and I never got around to editing and posting this episode. But we are back at it, folks.

Please enjoy this conversation with my good friend Daniel, a mystic, scholar-practitioner, podcast host, and former colleague at Saint Joseph Center in Los Angeles.

Hey folks!

Brian Mailhot is a writer, hiker, and friend who recently finished walking over 2000 miles on the Appalachian trail! Join us as we talk about his journey, reflections on life, and adjusting to the world beyond the trail. I had a lot of fun talking with Brian, and I hope you have just as much fun listening. Also, be sure to check out Brian's trail blog The Long Walk - rumor has it that someday it may become a book! And be sure to ask any questions for me and Brian in the comments.

Cheers!

Come on down and check out my conversation with Gabe. A forester and friend with lots of stories to tell!

Sam King is an educator, enthusiast for ecology, and excellent human being and friend. We met at Yale Divinity School, where he studied Religion and Ecology and currently works with the Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale with Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim. I really enjoy it whenever I get the chance to talk with Sam about life and the journey of finding our true calling in the midst of a world that rewards conformity to the status quo, rather than to the stirrings of the soul. Please join us, as we delve into life in Sri Lanka, the creative process, and finding one's way along a unique life path!

In today's episode, recorded 2/23/2024, I talk with Max S, a friend from divinity school who is a member of the third order of Franciscans as well as an Episcopal priest. It was great to learn more about Franciscan spirituality from Max, and I'm grateful that we had the chance to record this episode! I hope you enjoy it too!
