    My Faith

    In this episode, I get personal and reflect on what holds my life together. To talk through the different facets of faith and its role in our lives, I'm joined by special guest Jake Fleming. We talk about what faith means to us, the difference between religion and faith, differing journeys to find God, advice to future generations and even attempt to answer the age-old question: why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?
