Welcome to Dangerous & Sacred - Compassionate conversations for tender hearts and humble minds. 

Episode 0 is an invitation for the hurting and broken, an introduction for those who care deeply for others, to pull up a seat and consider sharing some space. We will be introducing many deep and rich topics with the purpose of intentionally cultivating more compassion and relational safety in our own lives and in society. 

This show is about curiosity- it’s about pulling back the veils and breaking down the walls that come between us. It’s about growing in understanding and compassion towards ourselves and one another, from a perspective of faith and current scientific discoveries. We consider how these different lenses complement each other and intricately weave together to reveal a beautiful & astonishing picture of our innate design and the many ways we were made for each other.
