Reach Truth Podcast
people are sacred, conversations are worship
I love people, and I love having conversations. Each person is a universe unto themselves—vast, mysterious, fascinating, precious, and sacred. Conversation is a way to truly see someone, to understand who they are in their fundamental essence and the present circumstances of their life, and to meet them there—to build relationship and connect deeply.
For me, my podcast is a place where I can practice this art, of seeing people deeply and connecting to them through conversation. I invite people who I’m deeply curious about and excited to talk with.
