The What If Project is about helping people read the Bible better, grow in their faith together, & think bigger about what it means to be the Church.
The What If Project podcast is a thought-provoking and enlightening show that explores topics of spirituality, religion, and personal growth. Hosted by Glenn Siepert, this podcast features a diverse range of guests who share their insights and perspectives on these important subjects. The discussions on this podcast have resonated with me during my own spiritual journey, making me feel understood and less alone in my questioning and exploration.
One of the best aspects of The What If Project is its lineup of guests. Glenn does a fantastic job interviewing interesting individuals who bring unique perspectives to the table. This diversity ensures that listeners are exposed to a wide range of ideas and beliefs, challenging them to think beyond what they were taught in traditional religious settings. The discussions are deep, meaningful, and often leave listeners with new insights or different ways of looking at faith.
Another great aspect of this podcast is Glenn's own solo episodes. These episodes allow him to delve into his own thoughts on various topics related to spirituality and offer his own insights on those matters. His thoughtful approach and insightful observations make for engaging listening experiences.
However, as with any podcast, there may be some drawbacks. One potential downside is that occasionally the conversations may become difficult to follow due to their depth or complexity. Some listeners may find themselves needing to listen more intently or take breaks to fully grasp the concepts being discussed.
In conclusion, The What If Project is an exceptional podcast that offers valuable insights for anyone interested in exploring spirituality, religion, or personal growth. The thought-provoking discussions and diverse range of guests provide a wealth of knowledge and encourage listeners to question their beliefs and think outside the box. Whether you are embarking on a spiritual deconstruction/reconstruction journey or simply seeking different perspectives on faith, this podcast is definitely worth a listen.

Friends, starting next week I'm tweaking something on the podcast that will lead to an experiment with these bi-monthly check ins. In this check in I talk about these check ins, Jordan's upcoming Summer break, art, Patreon, and an idea I'm kicking around for 2026. 2026? What? Yes, I think far in advance. HA!
