On this episode, Fr. Richard Rohr responds to listener’s questions on some of the most pressing themes of his book, The Universal Christ. In conversation with Paul Swanson and Brie Stoner, Richard responds to listener questions on Parenting, for example:
- How do I give my children the order they need, while knowing that it will quite soon let them down?
- I want to raise my son in the Christian tradition, however, I find that most of the mainstream Christian teachings for children do more harm than good. How can we talk about the Universal Christ with my son in an age-appropriate way?
