Why did I start Bones + Stardust and what I hope it means for you.
Here’s your holiday gift from @bonesandstardust - a humorous, warm-hearted and honest conversation with @shannonkevans on feminism, prayers and evolving faith. Shannon is the author of “Feminist Prayers for My Daughter”, a beautifully written book of prayers that give a female perspective that is so often overlooked in often male-focused spirituality. Her names for God are incredibly beautiful and the way she balances depth with light-heartedness is simply refreshing!
Listen in for the last episode of 2023 and may it be a gift!
Today’s guest is author and friend, Shannon Evans. She is the spirituality and culture editor at the National Catholic Reporter and the author of the books Feminist Prayers for My Daughter: Powerful Petitions for Every Stage of Her Life and Rewilding Motherhood: Your Path to an Empowered Feminine Spirituality.
With interest in ecofeminism, contemplative practice, and social change, Shannon leads workshops and retreats across the country that spark curiosity and compassion. She has partnered with the Jesuits of Canada and the U.S. and is a frequent contributor to Franciscan Media.
Having previously lived in Indonesia for two years, Shannon loves to travel, but is happiest at home on the Iowa prairie with her family and beloved chickens.
Enjoy my conversation with Shannon!

Season 2, Episode 7: The Guest House
The houseguest: A reflection for our solitary suffering.
I often talk about the aliveness of being human. The joy, the wonder, the creation and the vastness of our precious experience here on earth. But part of our aliveness is also embracing the pain, grief and loneliness. I think one of the hardest things about being human just may be our solitary suffering. We are collectively going through so much at this present time in history, so much collective suffering, but no one lives inside the home of your soul, but you.
Join me for a contemplative practice inspired by Rumi’s poem, “The Guest House”.
Today’s guest is no stranger to change and transformation - he has walked many people through it with patience and grace and certainly faced it himself.
Keith Giles is an author, podcaster and co-owner of Quoir Publishing. He’s also a former pastor who left the pulpit to start a house church where no one was paid and 100% of funds were given to help those in need within their community.
He has been a published writer since 1989 and has written several books, including the 7 part “Jesus Un” series where he challenges widely held beliefs within Christianity.
Keith’s latest series Sola Mysterium and Sola Deus celebrates uncertainty and asks even bigger questions like: “What if God is all of us?”
He’s creative, curious, intelligent and kind.
Join me and my conversation with Keith Giles.
One of my favorite moments from the latest episode with @matthiasroberts - it’s always deeply moving to hear an author speak their written words. Matthias’ excerpt from a chapter called Wind moved me to tears.

Some new episodes are coming your way! In the meantime, have you listened to the latest with @churchofthewildbook of @wildchurchnetwork ? What did you think? How do you find the sacred in nature?
I am excited to introduce todays guest!
Victoria Loorz is an eco-spiritual director and cofounder of the Wild Church Network and Seminary of the Wild. She’s the winner of the Living Now Book Award with her beautifully written book titled “Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred”.
In our conversation she shares her journey through church, activism, spirituality and contemplative encounters with the sacred in nature. After two decades of pastoring church indoors, she began to feel the nudge to meet others in the great expansive outdoors, launching the first Church of the Wild, in Ojai CA.
Victoria leads us into sowing seeds for a new story in our world - one that’s healing, alive and deeply interconnected.
At the beginning of each podcast episode I repeat these words: “Conversations on what it means to be a human being, fully alive.”
But what does it mean to be fully alive?
Greek Bishop and Saint, Irenaeus once said:
“The glory of God is man fully alive.”
YOU are the spark of the Divine, how then shall you live?
Join me for a short reflection and mediation on being alive and present.
Author and energy worker Stephanie Greene joins us on today’s show to talk about faith deconstruction, energy work, sacred mythology and goddesses… including Lilith! Her wisdom is equal parts heretic and healer, true insight and inspiration for us all. Curious about energy work? Find yourselves on the margins? Love a good Lilith story? This one’s for you!
Episodes 4 and 5 are out now!
Exploring life, our ancient connection, death and dying, and matter that never dies.
