    Rediscovering Spiritual Faith in Your Adulthood

    In this episode, Eric and Jed discuss how their personal faiths are being revisited and maturing in adulthood.  With more time to wander, be hurt by the church, live your own independent life and find other outlets for purpose and community, why would one revisit their faith?   What does that look or feel like?  Why believe or surrender to something bigger than yourself?

Check this podcast out!

In The Pitter Patter podcast, two self-diagnosed “overthinkers” let us into their constantly churning cerebrums. As one who treasures brevity and efficiency, I appreciate that each episode is around 30 minutes long or less. Whether you are a twenty-something year old trying to find your way through life’s complexities OR an old fogey like myself trying to understand the millennial mindset, the Pitter Patter podcast is for you!

Eric and Jed 4 Co-Presidents!

Eric, a former pre-med Major turned videographer and Youtuber, and Jed, a large tatted man whose life experience could fill a library at 24, aren’t afraid to ask the tough questions. Episode two is about death. If that isn’t vulnerability, I don’t know what is. Part time existential, part time hilarity, this pod has already become a regular in my crowded podcast line up!
