Living Our Beliefs

15
Religion #187

Religion and faith are important for millions of people worldwide. While ancient traditions can provide valuable beliefs and values for life, it can be hard to apply them to our lives today. And yet, weaving them into our days can bring benefits––greater meaning in life, more alignment between our beliefs and our actions, and deeper personal connection to our faiths and each other.

 

In Living Our Beliefs, we delve into where and how practicing Jews, Christians, and Muslims express their faith each day––at work, at home, and out in public––so that together we can see the familiar and unfamiliar in new ways. Learning from other religions and denominations invites us to notice similarities and differences––how much we have in common and how enriching the differences can be. Comparing beliefs and practices can prompt us to be more curious and open to other people, reducing the natural challenge of encountering the Other. Every person’s life and religious practice is unique. Join us on this journey of discovery and reflection.

    This is a fascinating podcast giving insights into how people from a variety of religions understand their faith and describe what it means to them. Some of the journeys of religious exploration OK let me are quite literally awe-inspiring. This is a podcast not just for people of faith.

    Beautiful exploration of differing spiritual paths
    As a spiritual person, I appreciate this podcast. First, having a variety of differing spiritual beliefs is great. We are all on our own journey and hearing these stories about how spirituality integrates into people’s lives is inspiring. Second, while some may be black and white, the host does not shy away from exploring the gradations of religious beliefs with the guests. If you’re interested in learning more about how other people practice and live their spiritual beliefs, and how this might influence you for the better, then I highly recommend this podcast to you.
