Remy Guts grew up in a small east coast town in a Catholic and Jewish home. His love for music, punk, and rock and roll set him on a journey of reading, studying, and loving philosophy. Only recently coming out of Judaism, he and I are asking new questions as we try to think for ourselves instead of just following the crowds.
This episode is a roller coaster ride of interesting topics. Liam grew up Mormon. Is there a difference between love and tolerance? Can you be spiritual and religious? Love, logic, and money are rarely mixed with equal parts, and how the most fruitful conversations begin with “We don’t know.”

"My outer experience was going to college, my education, but music guided my inner experience."

We spend this episode getting to know his story and finding out what and how music changed his thinking, direction, and spirituality...
In this episode, we dive into Rejyna’s Christianity. As well as her Trans* journey. One of the beautiful things about this episode is how fluid the conversation goes from storytelling to questioning, to explanation, to reflective open-ended free thought about life, religion, and being free from boxes of expectation and relationship.

She's a long time talented musician, entertainment industry professional, Christian, Parent, and Trans*. But those are just labels, and labels do little but limit our experience of the person.
