Description
Faith and spirituality sometimes leave us with more questions than answers. The Compass podcast shares stories about deconstructing faith, finding meaning, seeking justice, and deepening spiritual connection through contemplative practices and worship. Join fellow spiritual seeker Ryan Dunn in orientating to the Divine presence in the day-to-day through a Christian perspective. A production of United Methodist Communications.
