Hearts+Minds
The Hearts + Minds podcast covers everything from relationships and lifestyle, routines and habits, kids and colleagues to meaningful work, core values, spirituality, and God. We like to keep the tone light and conversational while dealing with topics that go well beyond the surface. Sometimes we bring up topics which overlap faith and life in a way to suit the unspiritual and devout alike. Wherever you’re at on your spiritual journey, this podcast should speak to you. Join us as we delve into life — the ordinary, relational, inner, and spiritual.
We’re delighted you’re here.
