We're back with another special, Spring re-release! Take a listen to our very first conversation with Hero Rev. Lizzie.
In April, we explored past episodes that dealt with … well, the Past! Stay tuned for May, when we'll revisit conversations centered around finding peace in the Present.
Spirituality and religion provide a framework for understanding the divine through patterns of prayer, rituals, and community support that help us navigate both the ordinary and extraordinary moments. Whether through the solace of personal meditation or the solidarity of communal worship, these practices can ground us and bring us closer to understanding our place in the world and our relationship with the divine.
In this episode, Hero Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail explains the differences between spirituality and religion, how faith can change you, and the role spirituality can play in the darkest times. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her over 70K followers.
