In this episode I have a conversation with author David Dark about how to navigate the murky and triggering topic of religion. Many of us have religious baggage of some kind, and David Dark provides some thought provoking insights into engaging the subject of religion in a new way.

The Spiritual Discipline of Asking Questions
Monday Aug 07, 2017
Monday Aug 07, 2017
Welcome to Sacred Tension: a podcast about entering the spiritual discipline of asking questions.
I was born gay and Christian, and struggling with that dichotomy my entire life has led me to understand that most of us are in similar interstitial spaces: between religion and science, faith and skepticism, conservative and liberal, gay and straight.
This podcast is an invitation to explore those uncomfortable places with me.
Thanks for joining me. I hope we learn a lot together.
