Our Desire for Relationship

"I help people talk about God," is how my guest, The Rev. Glenna Huber describes her calling and vocation to the priesthood. And in this episode, she shares what drew her into this work and the experiences that have shaped her relationship with God, the church, her family, and the people she pastors.  I hope this conversation is of support and encouragement and helps you see the experiences that have and continue to shape your relationship with who and what matters - what I would call holy - in your life.  Thanks for listening.
