The Giles Files

Only listened to a few episodes so far but this is a great podcast!

Nancy Giles hosts this cornucopia of folks with fascinating stories to tell. I love Nancy because she is truly interested and engaged with her subjects. Count not Giles Files for something new interesting and enjoyable.

I was very skeptical about thinking I was going to understand why a man would choose such a life. Nancy always has a way bringing her guests in so close they feel like family. Love this podcast ! I always want to hang out with the guests after. So good.

Nancy’s interview with an old colleague who became a friar is so beautiful! We get to the heart of what happened when one person listened to their life and quite surprisingly to themselves and to others discovered he was being called to a religious order. It’s so easy to assume that’s a weird thing, but the conversation she and George have emerge a patient, thoughtful process that leads to so much discovery of love and purpose. And joy! In a world that is so resistant to organized religion (and often for good reason), here is the chance to learn why and how it can be the most worthwhile thing in the world, regardless of what particular faith tradition it may be.
