When Faith Endures
What would happen if, across denominations we could establish a mode of discourse in which we give each other permission to talk openly about what matters to us? We could set aside doctrinal differences and emphasize those beliefs that we share. My guess is we could have some stimulating conversation about our experiences with the Divine and what we sense to be the greater purpose of our lives. "When Faith Endures" is a podcast that gives ordinary people of faith the opportunity to discuss why their faith is important to them. These lives exist. These commitments exist. Let's listen to them honestly and learn from each other.

Hi everyone. In this episode I explain more fully the motivation for beginning this project. As I’ve played many sacred gigs through the years, I’ve begun to notice that although much of the worship structure felt familiar, those of us participating rarely talked openly about our differing faiths, and often for good reasons: fear of offending, of being misunderstood, or of seeming as though we were pushing our faith on others. And yet I kept wondering, don’t we have something in common just by showing up? In a world where many people no longer attend worship at all, what keeps people committed to a life of faith? I believe that if we lead with what we have in common, we can give each other permission to talk about these things so we don't have to feel so isolated about it.
