Welcome back to Less Lonely, More Loved - ordinary people exploring their queries of faith. And oh yeah, that’s right - Merry Belated Christmas!
Talking points for today's episode include; love as walking the dog; the “goofy things” on Atlanta highways; changing your name and skipping town; where do you find paper maps in Walmart??; Jess’ biggest secret as a seminarian (yes, really); separating Jesus from all the icky stuff; the myth of individuation; and what’s the deal with crosses? We hope you come along for our Advent journey - all are welcome!
This is our second of two episodes exploring “Love” in the context of Advent. Tomorrow we will air our special Christmas episode to close off our Advent series, so stay tuned! Who knows - there very well may be future series in the works...

Welcome back to Less Lonely, More Loved - ordinary people exploring their queries of faith.
Today is a bit unorthodox - Jess and Meagan were having great conversations while the microphone was running before we even began the formal podcast, so we decided to include it!
Talking points for today's episode include; Jess & Meagan’s enneagram types; whether the writers of the Bible were actually “good writers”; being clueless about how to talk about peace; eating an elephant one bite at a time; yoga class shame and how that relates to spirituality; and a whole lot of talk about racism and reconciliation. We hope you come along for our Advent journey - all are welcome!
This is our second of two episodes exploring “Peace” in the context of Advent. We are happy to once again have our liturgical experts Jess Cusick and Meagan Williams to guide us through a verse from Hebrews and try to figure out - what does this have to do with peace?
Joy, Part One will premiere on Tue. December 14th, so stay tuned!
