Regardless of your religious background, Matthew offers clear help through the many questions that accompany a spiritual journey. Matthew's background, and passion for his faith and listeners adds depth to his discussions that allow us to carry our own search for answers to levels we may not be able to reach without a helping hand. I eagerly look forward to new topics and constantly review the old podcasts to gain understanding into thought processes, history and development.
Excellent!
