Stephen grew up Greek...Orthodox, in the American South, Atlanta Georgia.
I love how he has gone through changes in his faith, all while being true to himself and remembering the beautiful parts of religion. He does a fantastic job reminding us of the things religion can offer that exude beauty and humanity. The community, the rituals, the family atmospheres, the food, the holidays.
We chat about our hopes in who God is as well as how we all have different forms of how we connect spiritually to the divine, the universe, and humanity.
I love Stephens' belief that religion is like a big puzzle that we will never see the full picture of until then end, and then realize that we're really just all the same.
