Simon Maguire: Finding inner strength and bungling together a podcast.

I explore some of the opportunities and challenges with committing to a religion, in this case I'm speaking with The Reverend Alex Jeewan about God and Christianity. What does it mean to live as God wills us to? Why should we take that leap of faith? What about suffering, how can we believe in a God when so much pain and unfairness exists? Can we be wealthy and powerful and still receive God's gifts? How can we live well and die well?

These are just some of the big topics we try address in just over and hour of immensely joyful discussion.
