I'm very excited about these , me too , and one of the things that really jumped out at me was bringing more real life experiences to the podcast .
Yes , more interviews , yeah , bringing more real life experiences to the podcast .
Yes , more interviews yeah , more interviews with people who are actually living the faith .
Yes , so more testimonials .
Every day .
Every day Christians , yeah .
Every day Christians Talking about their journeys .
Their struggles .
Their struggles , their triumph . Yeah , I think that's going to be really , really fascinating .
I think so too , because it gets us past the surface .
Deeper than just the Sunday sermon .
Yeah , you know , you really see how people practice their faith every day .
Yeah , and how different it can be .
Exactly the nuance yeah .
The different beliefs within Christianity .
And for those of you who want to deepen your own spiritual practice , Pastor Young is adding extended guided meditations .
I love this .
To the podcast . Yeah , I think this is a really wonderful idea . For those who are wanting to go deeper in their own spiritual life . You know , start your day off with a guided meditation or wind down at night . You know , really , really connect with your own personal faith .
And here's something that's really interesting he's also going to be talking to people who aren't Christians .
On location ? Yeah , and that's part of Pastor Young's commitment to open dialogue .
To respecting all those different viewpoints .
Yeah , you know , and I think it's so important to understand , you know , to hear from people who believe differently than you do , or practice their faith differently Right ? Or maybe don't have any belief system at all Right ? But the core values of the podcast remain the same . Yeah , you know .
That thoughtful analysis , right the commentary you've come to expect .
