Less Serious
Unity Worldwide Ministries Executive Director Rev. Shad Groverland has partnered up with his longtime, brilliantly irreverent friend Melissa Guzman to tackle the conversations that most people shy away from when it comes to religion, faith, spirituality, and modern society. Their differing perspectives, coupled with choices of fascinating topics and guests, challenge the listener to think deeper about their own spiritual journey while enjoying the laughter that comes with it. They call their podcast Less Serious because they hope that it can demonstrate how we can break down the divisive walls of belief and religion through lighthearted conversation.
