Ben
I'm born and raised in the Midwest and attended Illinois State University for a bachelor of science in education. I spent 15 years in a middle school classroom teaching English language arts, spent a little bit of time in school administration, and now I am presently self-employed as a real-estate manager, art gallery owner, and creative sculptor.
I've always been curious and fascinated with the world of religion. It's a topic that I seemingly always return to in my pursuit of understanding the world and having a better sense of self-awareness. I have read hundreds of books on many different beliefs, and this podcast is the most recent addition in my attempt to have a better understanding of the people and the religions that I am surrounded by in the Midwest.
