Three Bridges Podcast
Welcome to Three Bridges: A podcast dedicated to uncovering that which connects us to ourselves, our community, and the world. Our desire is to reveal the cross-sectional identities that exist between race, culture, and religion. Hopefully through engaging and educational conversations we can foster more empathy, and be more connected to our communities and the world. Join an Exvangelical Humanist, a Muslim, and a Unitarian Universalist on a journey to discover what could possibly connects us in a world of differences.
Three Bridges Podcast is a project of Columbus Interfaith.
