  • A Different Kind of Life
    Apr 19 2023

    In this episode I welcome my friend Martha Johnson to the podcast to talk about her very different Christian faith upbringing.  Martha is a new friend who has generously shared herself with me over the past 6 months.  She is an amazing human with an amazing life story and in this episode she shares just a fraction of that amazing story - the story of growing up in liberal Christian spaces and what that looked like for her.

  • #Blessed
    Apr 5 2023
