Hosted by priest, storyteller, and longtime spiritual director William Miller, this podcast speaks honestly to people who are thoughtful, wounded, curious, skeptical, hopeful, and still searching. It’s spirituality grounded in real life — not theory, not platitudes, and not performance.

What the Podcast Is About

Spirituality for Real People explores what faith looks like after disappointment, after trauma, after certainty has cracked. Episodes draw from lived experience, pastoral encounters, literature, music, psychology, and theology — always with warmth, humility, and a touch of humor.

This is a space where:

• Doubt is not a failure of faith

• Questions are welcomed, not silenced

• Grief, joy, anger, wonder, and mystery can coexist

• Spiritual growth happens slowly, honestly, and imperfectly

What You’ll Hear

Each episode may include:

• Reflections on faith in the midst of ordinary life

• Stories from parish ministry and spiritual direction

• Conversations about suffering, healing, prayer, and resilience

• Gentle challenges to shallow or transactional spirituality

• Moments of laughter, tenderness, and hard-earned wisdom

You don’t need to believe the “right” things to listen — only to be human.

Who It’s For

This podcast is for:

• People recovering from religious trauma or burnout

• Those who still care about God but don’t know what to do with church

• Seekers who value depth over certainty

• Believers who want a faith that can survive real life

• Anyone who suspects that spirituality should be more honest — and more compassionate

The Heart of the Podcast

At its core, Spirituality for Real People insists that God meets us where we actually are, not where we pretend to be. Faith, here, is less about answers and more about attention, presence, and courage.

It’s not about becoming “better” people.

It’s about becoming truer ones.
