In this episode we talk with Niq Ruud
Niq Ruud, whose unique name bears the influence of a father's quirky spelling but is pronounced akin to a beloved Christmas saint, is a true Pacific Northwesterner at heart. Growing up amidst the scenic wonders of the region, Niq developed a passion for outdoor activities, embracing pursuits such as alpine climbing, sailing, surfing, skiing, cycling, and more. Niq's academic journey led to a profound exploration of religion. Graduating from Walla Walla University with a focus on this field, Niq took on the role of a pastor while concurrently pursuing theological studies at Grand Canyon Theological Seminary. Currently a postgraduate student at the University of Edinburgh, Niq delves into the intricate intersectionality between philosophy, science, and religion, with a particular focus on the human perception of God. A polymath at heart, Niq's intellectual interests span a wide array of subjects, including religious pluralism, philosophy of science and religion, eschatology, diversity, and ethics. These diverse pursuits converge around the central theme of understanding how humanity perceives the divine. Niq is also a published author, having penned a book titled "Only Love: How Everything Was, Is, and Will Be." This work advocates for a broad-minded perspective on God and, consequently, a more inclusive outlook on human relationships. Niq's writing encourages readers to embrace a more open-minded view of spirituality, fostering understanding and unity among individuals. The author holds a genuine affection for the book and invites others to explore its pages, suggesting that they might find resonance with its message of love and inclusivity.
