In this episode, we have a conversation with Baptist pastor Dana and ordained Hindu Fred, who are happily married. They share their beautiful story of finding each other through a dating app and connecting over a shared love of spirituality despite their differing beliefs. They discuss their life together and how they take part in each others’ spiritual traditions/practices and how that cross-fertilization has been helpful for them. We also unpack Paul’s often misused words in 2 Corinthians about “being unequally yoked with non-believers”; like Dana says, it’s not about having the same faith but having deep faith.
