The ‘Out of the Park’ podcast is an initiative of the Fran Park Center for Faith and Life. We make podcasts that are tools for the art of living one’s faith. We focus on the grounding and guiding principles of spiritual inquiry, community, education, and the arts in everything we do. The intersection of faith and life is fertile soil for the soul when we engage the mind, the heart, and imagination.
