Author: Debra Rufini April 10, 2022 Duration: 58:12

Debra Rufini hosts The Artist's Page, a thoughtful conversation space that emerges from her own writing and her broader work on the air. This podcast, part of the ArtistFirst Radio Network, extends the themes of her short story of the same name, which delves into questions of a designed universe. Here, those ideas connect with the complexities of real life. While the discussions cover a wide terrain-touching on culture, relationships, and societal issues-there’s a consistent thread examining spiritual health and the often-hidden wounds of spiritual abuse. Debra brings a variety of guests into the dialogue, ensuring multiple perspectives are heard. The result is a nuanced exploration of how faith and spirituality intersect with, and sometimes conflict with, human experience in modern society. Tuning into this podcast means joining a careful, often necessary conversation that seeks understanding and clarity on matters that shape our deepest selves and our connections to others. It’s for anyone reflecting on the bigger questions within the framework of their daily lives and relationships.
