Puzzle Peices
Kent is such an inspiring teacher and guide, shining a light on details in the pieces of the puzzle I try to put together in this life. It is so refreshing to hear rich conversations and ideas on topics that deserve so much more attention than the shallow one sentence memes on social media. Thanks Kent!

Another interesting podcast! I was glad you included a brief history of Fundamentalism as a starter.
