Do You Find it Hard to Fit Spiritual Growth into Your Day?

Maybe a faith-based podcast is a way for you to go. There are podcasts available to fit into whatever time you have available to listen while you are - walking the dog, taking a run, driving to work, cooking dinner, chilling in the hammock, doing laundry, or waiting on hold for customer support. There are so many wonderful bits of enlightenment out there to fit your schedule. If you are not sure how to find and play podcasts on your computer, phone, or device, click the button below for instructions.
How to Listen to Podcasts
Once you figure out how to listen, then a whole world of fascinating topics is open to you. We're focusing on faith-based, spiritual-growth types here, but there are thousands available on a wide variety of topics. Here are a few to get you started on your quest:
  1. The Way of Love with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
  2. For the People with Bishop Rob Wright
  3. The Bible for Normal People

A Quote for Creation Month
 

“Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love each separate thing. If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all; and when once thou perceive this, thou wilt thenceforward grow every day to a fuller understanding of it: until thou come at last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing and universal.”


― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
