About The Brothers Zahl

Welcome to The Brothers Zahl podcast, a collaboration between John, David and Simeon Zahl, three siblings engaged in "the God business"--one as a writer, one as a professor, one as a priest. Each episode is devoted to a single topic of spiritual or religious interest in the hopes of sketching an overarching picture of grace and everyday life. The music is pretty good, too.

And I also married into Chinese culture. My wife is Chinese and from Hong Kong, and I've spent a lot of time over there.
