We all take different path's to find truth - Daniel's path is a bit more unconventional than most.

That episode is one of Faith Matters’ most listened to of all time.

But through it all, Tammi has learned to rely on God, and his love and grace to give her peace and understanding.
Every week on the In Good Faith podcast we take you on a journey—usually that’s a guest sharing their personal journey of faith and belief.

We’ll talk with historians, leaders, and of course modern-day believers about the amazing place they call home.
