Description
Begin Again is a podcast devoted to "reconsidering everything." Trained as a pastor, with an Mdiv and ThM, this podcast is devoted to exploring ideas and talking with people about new insights from or about Church History, Developmental Theories, Contemplation, Activism, Spiral Dynamics, the Enneagram, the Christian mystics, and integrating all of them together to say something new.
