This week Heather is talking to Dr Stephanie Gehring-Ladd who is a theologian, poet and artist. She has an MFA in poetry from Cornell and a PhD from Duke. As an artist and theologian she has spent a great deal of time thinking about how to communicate truthfully, honestly and with beauty. She's also spent time thinking  about truth and storytelling and what they mean for the practices and habits of listening to and speaking about God to oneself and to others.
