For this music-themed episode, I decided to do a life analysis of one of the biggest music stars of all time: Taylor Swift. You can achieve things like she has, and I hope to point out the lifestyle and methods she used to get to where she is now. I am not promoting her as a life-model or as perfect, and I do pray that she comes to know and obey Christ. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

We have all asked or been asked: are Americans less traveled? A lot plays into the answer, but hopefully this will help you in future convos about Americans and our stay-at-home-ness. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

After learning about God, we now are trying to see how this God has communicated with us. If you haven't yet, go back and listen to the faith episodes on evidence for a creator and purpose of life. This is the second of many episodes addressing evidences for why we can trust the Bible as a historically accurate, authoritative source of divine communication. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

zoroastrianism... what? I had not heard of this until I started researching monotheism. This is definitely a crash course, so if you want more resources please dm me! Monotheism and polytheism are the two categories that make up world religions aside from the religion of atheism. In this episode, I share what I know about the two subjects and ask you to be open to continuing to look at the evidences before closing your mind to monotheism. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!
