A Few of My Favorite Things

Garret Grove

Hello Everyone, this is Garret Grove and as the name suggests, this is literally a podcast on a few of my favorite things. For each episode, I bring a guest on the show to talk about a certain topic that we are both interested in. I've been doing this for a while and so far, I have not had a disappointing conversation.

    Religion: Thomas Wright

    Joining me for the seventh episode of the season is Thomas Wright, who just finished his first year at Highlands College in Birmingham, Alabama. In the religion episode, we delve into Thomas's journey of faith in college, as well as wrestle with the theme of forgiveness.   DISCLAIMER: My guest and I are passionate about what we talk about in this episode, but neither of us claim to be theologians, religious guides, or experts. We do our best to look at the discussed topics objectively but we understand that we, like everyone else on this planet, have some innate biases and don’t know the answers to everything. You can agree with what we say or take it with a grain of salt. You can completely disagree with one or both of our viewpoints or just disagree with certain parts. That’s your decision, but please know that we are not coming from a condescending place but a place of curiosity insight and interest as it relates to a subject we are both passionate about.   If you liked the conversation, I hope you would consider sharing this episode with others and subscribing to me on YouTube. This is the seventh episode of the second season. Only one more episode remains for the second season of the podcast.   Please follow the podcast on whatever podcast platform you listen to.
