Ep. 299: The links between faith and self

Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: Happy Kreter, PHS

Who are you? What is your purpose in life? Do you matter?

These are questions most of us ask ourselves during the course of our lives. “How do I define ‘I’ and how does my faith influence that definition?” asks Chaplin Happy Kreter, the host of a new podcast, called "The Conversation - The Podcast", that looks at our relationship with faith and how that, in turn, guides the principles we live by, and then how do we manifest those principles in our modern secular society.

For Kreter, these are the questions he asked himself as he reconnected with faith. In the podcast series, he will be engaging with people from diverse spiritual backgrounds. “I want to talk about what it means to be human and our relationship with something we know is greater than our individual selves, that we are a part of something that is magnificent.”

We invited Chaplin Happy Kreter of PHS to join us for a Conversation That Matters about our relationship with our faith and how that guides us in our lives.
