There Are Only Waves Podcast

For a follow up from yesterday, in this extended section of episode 8, my interviewee, Morgan Lee, and I, have a personal conversation about some of my ongoing issues and thoughts with evangelical Christianity. Included in this conversation, we talk about how evangelicalism has played out in our friendship. I think this helps contribute to the overall interview, and I hope this gives you some more things to think about. Thanks for tuning in!

Hi again. Long time no see. So, this is the second episode I’m publishing today. In this episode, I interview Morgan Lee, a staff worker at Christianity Today, and a friend of mine for the past six years. I talk to her about her evangelical faith journey, and how that converges with her general journey with the Christian faith. Please tune in!

Hello everyone. It’s been a long hiatus since I last released an episode. I’ve been very busy in my personal life, but I am grateful to release a couple new episodes for you now. I recorded this and my next interview a few months ago, and I am very excited to share both now. In my first interview, Damian Maxwell, a friend of mine, discusses his spirituality with me, with a focus on Tarot and Astrology. Looking forward to you tuning in!

As you saw in my previous post, this episode is coming out alongside Episode 5, as they are related topics, and featuring almost the same guests for a panel discussion on both topics. Episode 6 particularly focuses on the resurgence of Black Lives Matter. As always, feel free to comment on this page, or give me a rating on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play Music, or Blubrry. Thanks for tuning in!

Today’s episodes feature panel discussions with Dan K, Jeremy Washington, and Mr. E. These guys are all good friends of mine, who offer great insights and perspectives on the different topics that are covered in these episodes. One is about an article by Erna Hackett called  “Asian Americans, Anti-Blackness and Covid-19” from her blog Liberated Today. The other episode discusses the resurgence of Black Lives Matter. You will find Episode 6 in the other post I made today. I hope you find these episodes to be enriching listens! Enjoy!

Today’s episode is a bird’s eye view of my spiritual journey from the ages of 17-25. As this podcast develops, I hope to get into more of the details of particular topics I have encountered on my journey and how they pertain to me today. I hope you enjoy this episode and the episodes to come!

It feels like such a long time since my first episode was published, but I am happy to announce the launch of my second episode. In this episode, I continue the story of how my podcast came into existence. You will also hear in this episode more about the poem in which this podcast gets its namesake from, and also what to expect in future episodes. You can continue to expect from me that I am being my most vulnerable and authentic self. I’m excited to continue on with my project, and also for future conversations about the subjects I am covering in my podcast with you all, my listeners. Please enjoy this episode, and I hope to talk with many of you soon! 

I am afraid to put my voice out into the world. That is why I’m doing this-because it goes against my very instinct to hide. My first episode I originally recorded almost four months ago. While I have been busy, I have put off trying to figure out how to use Blubrry and my PowerPress plugin because I discovered underneath it all, that I am afraid of what people will think of my podcast. I am afraid of my website not being good enough, my recording not being good enough, and that people will listen to this first podcast and not be into it. This is why I am doing this. I have not hired anyone to edit this, and to be honest I have not edited this myself. I recorded this all in one take. I did so on my iPhone. I will record the next one on a better mic.

I have gone back and forth wondering if I needed to record this first podcast on a better mic. I decided ultimately that I love this recording, and I hope other people will love it too. While these first podcast episodes will help to explain the story of why I am creating this podcast, and how it came to be, I will simply say that the most important thing that drives not only this podcast, but also myself, is to be authentic as possible. I hope to be able to do this through this podcast, and more importantly my life, but I hope what you can expect from me is to be my most authentic vulnerable self. No, you will not hear all my secrets, as this is not true vulnerability, but you will hear me attempting to take my stories, tell them honestly, and draw what I have learned from them. I hope this in some way makes your life better by listening to it, and if not, that’s too bad.
