A Faith Garden

About A Faith Garden

Religious or spiritual doubt is natural. It's normal. And it's never been more widespread. But life without a framework of meaning to guide life's decisions strips us of essential resilience and often results in depression. So many of us struggle to find that meaning in today's modern world. This podcast describes my personal journey from the depths of doubt to rediscover meaning and purpose - a journey to find an inspired modern faith.
