<p>Athena Lee, rising first grader and the daughter of the Rev. Rob and Stephanie Lee stops by for a conversation in Oakwood Park with her dad. Additionally, at the end of today&#39;s short podcast you hear a preview for Beloved Journal&#39;s new podcast in partnership with Pacific School of Religion&#39;s doctoral program, &quot;So Help me Pod.&quot; It&#39;s a podcast that explores the relationship between theology and the American presidency. You don&#39;t want to miss this episode!</p>
<p>Cheers!!</p>

The Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde

What matters most to us in times of consequence? Is it wealth? Is it prestige and power? Is it likes or favorites? To me, what I hope to center is that friendship, family, empathy, compassion, quirkiness, humor, and hope will win out even amidst the fray of this transient and turbulent life. My name is Rob Lee, I’m a pastor, public theologian, and author working at the intersection of faith and public life. I want this podcast to be a place where I interview those people who are exemplifying what it means to exist with complete abandon in this life.
