Episode 38: Joe Off The Comma
-
- Self-Improvement
In this episode, we talk to Joe Smith. He describes himself as empathetic, having humor and being an advocate. Joe lives in the USA.
Joe tells us about sitting on a comma with pulling apart from an earlier world view shaped by his faith of origin. When the political climate began influencing the practices of his church community, he began to audit his faith and experience deep feelings of despair and distortion; he started noticing the cracks. Joe shares how letting go of his beliefs created space for a new sense of belonging and love to emerge. Tune in to hear what Joe means when he says, “I was still trying to create the same fundamentalist structure”.
