Carter thought he didn't have much to share about boundaries. But when teZa begins about how she had to learn about boundaries early in her sober life, suddenly Carter can relate to this podcast's subject from his own experiences, and has a lot to say. As always, the focus is our spiritual life, but today we talk about more practical matters ... like how to enJOY washing the dishes, accomplishing goals, being true to our selves and not giving away too much to others.

Last episode was teZa's story of how she came to be a God-lover; this week it's Carter's. He uses the word "testimonial" because he identifies as a born-again Christian. One of the many subjects covered in his story is how he, as a single parent of two young children, reconciled marrying teZa, a self-proclaimed Christian Sufi soldier, a mystic. Lots of laughs, and lots of honest introspection from the unique combination of these two souls who love the Divine equally. see tezalord.com for more
