Episode: Reboot!

Rendezbrew is a reboot of Spiritualitea, now hosted by Lance and regularly guest co-hosted by his husband Kenny (we are working up to him co-hosting, no promises yet). The ultimate goal is for us, and occasional guests, to discuss religion and spirituality, politics, health, mental health, and other parts of life that impact us all. We will have regular discussions of the underlying issues for current events and news headlines, as well as exploring ways to bring spirituality into our busy lives whether we have a religion, believe in a deity, or not all over a nice cup of tea or coffee.
