[unedited] Creation and Mourning: Nathan Bakken on Trans and Catholic Identity

Hosted by Danielle Isbell, Godcast-Conversations About Religion, Spirituality, and Being is a space for honest talk about how faith, doubt, and belief shape our everyday existence. This isn't about preaching or debate, but about listening to personal stories where the sacred meets the ordinary-or where it feels entirely absent. Each conversation digs into a specific experience or question, recognizing that our relationship with the worldview we inherited is never static. Whether you're firmly rooted in a tradition, exploring new spiritual paths, or navigating a conscious rejection of your upbringing, these discussions meet you where you are. The podcast operates from a simple conviction: that matters of religion and spirituality deserve a voice in our shared public life, beyond private devotion or academic theory. You'll hear from a variety of voices reflecting on how these forces influence identity, community, and our understanding of what it means to be human. Tune in for thoughtful, often nuanced episodes that complicate easy narratives and invite you into a longer, kinder conversation about the things that ultimately define us.
