About This Podcast

So many are saying Where is God when I need him? Especially today. Many feel deserted and alone. But it is only that we have been looking in the wrong direction, searching everywhere but at home.  The surprising answer to the question tells us instead, that all we need is right here with us in our everyday life. In fact it is right at the kitchen table.  It is only that we have been looking elsewhere, searching all around. These episodes offer specific ways in which we can encounter God, fulfillment, enlightenment right here in our daily lives, wherever we go.
