Tap tap...is this thing on? An update and invitation
The Eternal Current Podcast
After a podcast hiatus, Aaron shares a life update and invites us into a collaboration with Pastors, Priests and Guides called "Practices to Prevent a Civil War". In this divided, tumultuous season--especially approaching the November election--we are learning practices to form us into people who are less likely to participate in Civil War, and more likely to join God's work of Shalom. All the show notes, future episodes, and next steps are at The Between Retreats Substack. Join us!
