Religion To Reality

Religion EN ↓ 3 episodes

Religion to Reality is a Catholic podcast about living an integrated life, one where faith isn't filed away in a separate drawer from the rest of who you are. In Season 2, we take that conviction somewhere new: into conversation with voices from other Christian traditions and other faiths entirely. Not to debate, not to draw lines, but to listen. Because the most radical thing we can do in a noisy, polarized world might be to sit with someone whose faith looks different from ours, and discover what God is already doing in them.
