To Differ is Divine is a podcast that invites both the curious and the skeptical to explore the idea of spiritual permeability through conversations between our hosts, Bishop Sam Rodman, the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, and Rabbi Raachel Jurovics, the Diocese’s rabbi-in-residence. It is an invitation to devotional friendship between souls on different paths, including those who do not follow a particular religion. Our hosts will explore the texts and practices of their respective faith traditions as a conversation between different expressions of God. This exploration of spiritual permeability is a way to enrich one’s own practice while contributing to a world without religious prejudice or fear.
