    30. Fairy Goth Vicar

    In our interview with Diana Greenfield, a vicar in the Church of Wales, we delved into her fascinating journey of exploring the intersection between neopaganism and Christianity through her doctoral research titled, “Conversing with the Goddess and the Saint.” Diana’s unique perspective sheds light on the importance of embracing diversity in beliefs and coming together with our neighbors who hold different worldviews. By engaging in open and respectful dialogue, we can learn from one another, foster understanding, and build bridges of empathy and compassion. Diana’s work challenges us to transcend boundaries and cultivate a spirit of unity and harmony in our communities, regardless of our individual faith trajectories. *** Thank you for listening!

    28. Neuroscience & Belief Systems (My Saturday Ramblings)

    It's Shannon here. I couldn't sleep last night and stumbled on a YouTube video from a podcast called The Diary of a CEO, hosted by a deep-thinking guy called Steven Bartlett. In this episode he is interviewing neuroscientist, Dr. Tara Swart Bieber. She blew my mind in so many ways. That started me thinking about how some of the different topics they were discussing are things we often see in our deconstruction process. I am just speaking my thoughts into the mic as they come, so I hope it brings some life to you, even though it's unfiltered (and I hope my thoughts are not too confusing and messy). I will add The Diary of a CEO YouTube video to our website www.gloriousthingspodcast.com, and will also put a link to that podcast episode below (I am sharing the Spotify link, but you can listen to it anywhere you listen to podcasts) The Diary of a CEO (interview with Dr. Tara Swart Bieber) https://open.spotify.com/episode/4dZEZbWDOjFLOZPMJPsZf1?si=f6336b624d67499c Glorious Things is hosted by Shannon Ruddy & Ashley Simmons Follow us on... tiktok.com/@gloriousthingspod instagram.com/gloriousthingspodcast/ facebook.com/gloriousthingspod

    26. Giving Space for a Different Place

    As we examine and heal from the belief systems we were once part of, many of us find ourselves in very different places. Some of us still believe in God, some of us don't. What do these new friendships and spaces look like for us? How can we support one another in our differences? We talk about this and more in this episode. **We'd appreciate it if you would consider leaving us a review and share your favorite episodes with friends. It helps others find our podcast.

    25. Dear church, WAKE UP

    We're back! In this episode we talk about what people need vs what the institutional church thinks it needs to stay relevant and alive. We touch on "revival" that the church has been talking about for years, being seen, longing for a family that feels like home, the belief that it's all on us, and a whole lot more. We are glad to be back and happy that you're here. **We'd appreciate it if you would consider leaving us a review. It helps others find our podcast.

    24. A Way of Being, with Gaz Kishere

    Our guest on this episode is Gaz Kishere. He's a friend and the author of a book that we highly recommend. So many of us have walked away from everything we knew when we left organized religion. It's so important to give and receive permission to change our beliefs as we go. We discuss many things, including how we were taught to fear losing what was always free and unorganized Christianity. It's a beautiful conversation that we hope you'll enjoy. You can find Gaz on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/movingthewalls You can buy his book here. ------------------------------------ Hosted by Shannon Ruddy & Ashley Simmons www.gloriousthingspodcast.com gloriousthingspodcast@gmail.com Follow us on... instagram.com/gloriousthingspodcast/ facebook.com/gloriousthingspod
