After learning about God, we now are trying to see how this God has communicated with us. If you haven't yet, go back and listen to the faith episodes on evidence for a creator and purpose of life. This is the first of many episodes addressing evidences for why we can trust the Bible as a historically accurate, authoritative source of divine communication. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

zoroastrianism... what? I had not heard of this until I started researching monotheism. This is definitely a crash course, so if you want more resources please dm me! Monotheism and polytheism are the two categories that make up world religions aside from the religion of atheism. In this episode, I share what I know about the two subjects and ask you to be open to continuing to look at the evidences before closing your mind to monotheism. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

Is there a purpose to life? What's the point of it all? Exploring those questions has been important to me, and I am not trying to tug at emotions. Rather, I try to propose some logical thoughts for us overthinkers to consider when deciding if we have a purpose. In later episodes, we will look at what that purpose might be. :) Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

In this episode, Lydia shares the thought process and necessary planning steps to take if you are considering moving countries. This is from the perspective of a U.S. citizen (American expat) moving to London, England, but the checklist should still be applicable across the board when it comes to expats moving abroad. Lydia shares her personal journey and comprehensive guide on relocating to London. She covers dreaming big, conducting in-depth research, informing loved ones, securing jobs or education, networking, financial planning, creating a timeline, buying plane tickets, navigating visa applications, visiting the destination, finding housing, transferring services, choosing transportation, and deciding what to pack. Lydia's advice extends to joining expat communities, preparing for new roles, arranging phone plans, and saying farewells, all drawn from her own experience to help listeners planning an international move. :) Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

In this episode, we will discuss the concept of "truth" and what it means for us who want to seek truths. I am not studied in philosophy, so this is based on my research. There is no way I can cover all aspects of truth in one episode, but this should get the basics well enough for us to build a trust in truth and inspire us to value and search for truths rather than to be apathetic or against them. :) Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

In this episode, you will get part 3 of a deep discussion with one of my close friends, Daniel Dalton. We are joined by Kayley Wadlington as we go through scripture, learning this week about the theology around the goodness of God and the suffering of Christians. This is the follow-up episode of a 2 part study. This is a summary discussion closing up loose ends. Grab a Bible, a notebook, and a pen, and press play :) Love God, love people, love travel, love life!
This episode’s discussion is had assuming these foundational statements are true:
- God is real.
- the Bible is the inspired word of God.
- the Bible is for our instruction, and it is divinely accurate, historically accurate, and relevant to us today.
If you do not think that these are true, please listen with a willingness to understand from that perspective. Or, it is also fine if you wait for later episodes and skip this for now :)

Starting a podcast because your last name rhymes with "pod" is probably a bad idea. But since I'm here anyways, let's talk about the things that matter the most (in my opinion): faith, friends, fun, and travel.
This season will be short and sweet, introducing me to all of you. In this episode, you will get to know a little about my journey in creating content so far, a back story about my family's business, and, what you've all been waiting for, a list of resources that all content creators should know about (most of which are F R E E ! ). Love God, love people, love travel, love life!
