Hosted by Rev. Kelsey Peterson Beebe, this show explores what it means to have an embodied faith - a faith that comes alive in how we live, move, and love. Together, we slow down, reconnect with God, and learn to practice faith in tangible ways. In this space, you are invited to experience God’s love within and around you, and gently called forward to embody that grace in the world.

It's no secret that women have faced immense barriers when it comes to leadership in the church. In today's interview with Rev. Diane Weible, the conference minister for the Northern California Nevada Conference of the UCC, we dive into what these barriers are and then lift up all of the powerful women of the church who have truly built what we have today.

Diane made her path, what helped her get to where she is today, and what she is doing to ensure that she is continuing to forge a path for other women to carry on beyond her. In Rev.
