In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem is joined by Dr. William “Chip” Gruen, Professor of Religion Studies and Director of the Institute for Religious and Cultural Understanding at Muhlenberg College. With a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Pennsylvania and a scholarly background in early Christianity, Chip's passion has evolved toward enhancing religious literacy and fostering deeper public discourse on religion. He shares how his academic roots influence his current public-facing work, including the ReligionWise podcast and educational programs designed to help people speak about religion with more nuance and understanding. Chip reflects on how ancient narratives still inform modern identity, how religion continues to shape public life, and why better dialogue matters in divided times. With humor and depth, he speaks about the role of curiosity in confronting complexity, and how the Institute's work invites both students and the wider public to engage religion not as dogma, but as cultural expression. He also shares insights on inner growth, music, kindness, and the power of simply listening well. Listener Engagement Discover more about Chip's work at religionandculture.com.
