Embrace The Void

My guest this week is Kevin Bolling, executive director of the Secular Student Alliance (@SecularStudents). We discuss the role of secular student groups in the lives of young nonbelievers, and how they especially play a vital community role in the lives of nonbelievers who come from faith based families. This is a particularly fortuitous conversation given what I'll be discussing next week with Alison Gill.Secular Student Alliance: https://secularstudents.org/?gclid=CjwKCAjw4871BRAjEiwAbxXi2xaAzMR9fuT2RaqHBh730sR8yRDmraqHHH6OsL1iK4svWJy4FM6mTBoCeNkQAvD_BwEInvocation: Paul LynchEditing by Brian ZiegenhagenMusic by GW RodriguezSibling Pod Philosophers in Space: https://0gphilosophy.libsyn.com/Support us at Patreon.com/EmbraceTheVoidIf you enjoy the show, please Like and Review us on your pod app, especially iTunes.
