Welcome to The Things that Matter Most, the show where we talk about things everyone is passionate about, but that matter much more than sports or politics.

We’re your hosts, and each week we bring you a different spiritual perspective or current topic of interest, but our purpose is always the same: to ask questions about our basic beliefs and see how they line up with solid evidence and the reality we all experience. Whether our guest is a humanist or a Hindu, whether our topic is a new movie or an age-old dilemma, we hope our conversation gives you confidence that what you believe is true.

	Jesus in the Lotus By Russill Paul About the Book: "Drawing on a deep knowledge of Christian scripture as well as Hindu philosophy, musician and teacher Russill Paul reveals that the mystical core of religion offers us much more than the simple solace of unthinking dogma. By demonstrating that these two seemingly separate and irreconcilable religions can actually unite in one person’s spiritual practice at the center of his life — as they did in his — he offers an alternative to religious intolerance and strife, as well as hope for personal liberation.
