Episode176: Diana Butler Bass (Instant Replay, Part 10)

In this episode we look back on my conversation with Diana Butler Bass.  I had a whole list of questions I planned to ask her and ended up asking NONE of them. Instead, we went deep down the rabbit hole of "deconstruction" and "reconstruction" and I'm grateful we did because this conversation was balm for my soul. I hope it will be for you too!

Episode 171: In Memory of Steve Austin (Instant Replay, Part 6)

In this episode we look back on a conversation with my friend, the late Steve Austin.  Steve committed suicide in the Summer of 2021 and left a gaping hole in the world.  In this conversation you'll get a taste of the ray of hope he was to so many as he fought hard to destroy the stigma around mental health that the church has created.  

The intro to the episode is from one of the What If Project Patreon supporters, Mike Koolen.  Mike actually introduced me to Steve a while back and so his voice in this episode is a perfect fit.
