Is There a Cost to Belonging?
Notas del episodio
Can you belong wholeheartedly to a faith community while still feeling free to be yourself?
In this episode of The Difference, Hannah is joined by actress and creative innovator Rachael Oriowo and author and chaplain Marcus Green.
This first meeting becomes a radically honest, respectful and deeply human conversation.
Together they explore difference within Christianity, reflecting on prayer, sin, sexuality, church, love and the courage to remain true to yourself.
Whether you're a person of faith, have left faith behind, are a staunch atheist, or have never considered these questions before, we hope this conversation encourages reflection on the beauty of being your true self.
