  • The Raven's Chronicles - Episode 13 - personal responsibility
    Feb 1 2024

    Episode #13: “Personal Responsibility” Join Muninn and Huginn (Jon and Jay) in an early recording. This was one of our first recordings. Personal Responsibility is a multi-faceted way of fulfilling one’s life. Responsibility does not mean you are guilty of something. It’s a recognition that if you become accountable for your own needs, if you be the person you can rely on to help you progress, you will grow away from being a victim into becoming a victor. There is always a level of truth that is difficult to accept. But we can all realize that the truth in responsibility is a deep form of freedom. Enjoy the conversation.

    Episode #11: FAITH – “God, where are you?” Join Muninn and Huginn in a personal conversation about god, belief, spirituality and much more. This conversation is a personally subjective look at big questions. What is God? Who is God? How do we fathom the nature of reality with God? Is there a link between faith and a failing society? Is a lack of religion and community connection a large part of rising division, ideological movements, progressivism, groupthinkthe ? Do we need God?
