Ep. 7 | Interfaith Conversations

This is an episode I’m so stoked to share.

My delightful roommate (and friend of 19 years) Kayla is on the show today, and we talk all about how to have respectful and engaging interfaith discussions. Kayla is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (also referred to as the Mormon Church) and I’m Catholic. We grew up together and have seen each other grow and lean into our faiths, and now that we live together, we talk about our faith all the time.

Kayla shares a bit about her experience on her mission in South Korea and how she made the transition back to “normal life,” still with a missionary heart and purpose. We talk about sharing our faith at work, and offer ways to open up to friends who might not know much about our faith beliefs. Kayla shares some ways that we can really press into these conversations in a way that leaves everyone feeling encouraged and heard.

I hope this episode inspires you to step out and ask questions to have these incredible and community-building conversations!
