God in Thin Spaces

There are two parts to this episode. Part 1 is a discussion between Kevin and Paul about the common sensation of feeling disconnected from God. They discuss how shame is a major factor in this feeling. They also talk about how a sacramental view of the world can help us be more attuned to God's presence. If you're interested in delving further into this topic, please contact Kevin and Paul at the email address below.

In Part 2, Kevin and Paul interview Cheyenne Medders, who creates the music for this podcast. Cheyenne talks about the process of making music, and ways in which music has connected him with God and other people.
