Religion EN ↓ 62 episodes

Reflections is a weekly series with recurring professionals from a wide spectrum of work backgrounds discussing any and all topics. The guest and myself have read a preselected book of scripture independently the month before our conversation so that we can utilize the contextual lens of those readings to reflect on things we have read, watched, listened to or experienced.
