Cultivating A Faith In Life Itself with Jim Palmer | What is a Good Life?

‪@whatisagoodlife‬ #podcast #spirituality #faith #connection #selfdiscovery #philosophy On the 142nd episode of What is a Good Life?, I’m delighted to welcome Jim Palmer, Founder of the Center for Non-Religious Spirituality. A critically acclaimed author, former megachurch pastor, adjunct professor, and chaplain with the American Humanist Association, Jim is also a trained counsellor in religious trauma and spiritual abuse. In this conversation, he reflects on his journey through a crisis of faith, his experiences as a megachurch pastor, and the challenges of navigating religious culture. We explore theological deconstruction, rewilding spirituality, and the importance of embracing diverse perspectives. This episode invites you to consider a faith in life itself as a way to deepen our connection with existence.
