Why is this podcast Kinda Religious?
It’s about how people make sense of the world. Through conversations with guests from different religious, spiritual, non-religious, and religion-critical backgrounds, we explore belief, doubt, identity, ritual and other forces shaping modern life.
We live in a changing world where tradition, transition, religion, and politics constantly overlap.
This podcast if for people who want to explore that complexity with seriousness, empathy, and curiosity. This podcast is for anyone who has ever wrestled with questions of faith, belonging, morality, tradition, or transcendence. Whether you are deeply religious, spiritually searching, culturally affiliated, or skeptical, there is a place for you here.
What you’ll hear…
Episodes often explore topics like conversion, religious identity, spiritual practice, online religious culture, moral formation, modern loneliness, interfaith understanding, and the role religion still plays in American public life.
“It’s not just about praying no matter what religion you’re in. It’s not just about praying at all…it is way more important how you live your life and how you conduct yoursel…”

“People want to put others in boxes because it’s easy, right? It’s kind of lazy. If I can label you, you’re a conservative Christian or you’re a godless atheist liberal. Those tend to be the boxes people want to put me in all the time…What if I’m a little bit or none of those things? What if most of us are none of those things?”

“I think too many people confuse your internet identity with your real self…who I am online is a part of me, but it’s not me, and I think that’s something that a lot of people don’t recognize and don’t understand both about themselves and about others…at end of the day, you’re only sharing a slice of yourself with people.”
