The Simply Christian LIFE podcast is for the spiritually curious - everyone seeking God or a deeper relationship with God.
It’s about living simply, loving God, and loving our neighbors. It’s about deepening the roots and broadening the reach of our faith.
It’s about spiritual practices like parenting, prayer, nonviolent communication, embracing diversity and permaculture gardening.
Simply Christian LIFE is hosted by Michael Buerkel Hunn, who is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande, which includes New Mexico and the far west part of Texas.
