• In this episode we chat with Paldrom Catharine Collins
• Paldrom Catharine Collins’ introduction to religion was at the First Baptist Church she attended with her parents, until she left as a young woman seeking enlightenment—first in the mystical practices of the Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana, then for fourteen years immersed in the non-dual teachings of Gangaji, in the Hindu Advaita lineage of Ramana Maharshi. Today, she’s found a connection to contemplative Christianity, serving on the board of directors of the Journey Center Association, and completing their two-year spiritual director certification program.

• In this episode we chat with Damon Garcia
• Damon Garcia is a public theologian, writer, video essayist, and author of The God Who Riots: Taking Back the Radical Jesus. He discovered his passion for ministering to spiritual misfits and radicals through evangelical youth and young adult ministry in evangelical spaces. This passion led him out of Evangelicalism and into post-Christian spaces, where he continues to develop a liberative Christianity for a disillusioned generation through video essays and dialogue. Garcia's work is inspired by liberation theology and anti-capitalist politics as he helps people unsettle and untangle oppressive ideologies. He lives in Santa Maria, California.
