149. The Courage to be Brave- with Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde

Mariann Edgar Budde is the bishop and spiritual leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, D.C., and the Washington National Cathedral. Prior to her election in 2011, she was a parish priest in Minneapolis for eighteen years. She has appeared on PBS NewsHour, Meet the Press, Good Morning America, and the Today show, among others. Bishop Budde earned her master’s in divinity and doctor of ministry from Virginia Theological Seminary. In her new book, How We Learn to be Brave, Bishop Budde explores how key decisions in our lives, if navigated with faith and discernment, pave the way for us to become our most courageous selves. Budde weaves stories from her own life, religious texts, the Civil Rights movement, literature, pop culture, and current events to illustrate what goes into "being brave." The decisive moments—some flashy, some subtle—that make up the arc of a lifetime include deciding to stay, deciding to go, deciding to start, accepting what we cannot change, and more. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/705987/how-we-learn-to-be-brave-by-mariann-edgar-budde/ Contact Kendra Rinaldi to be a guest on the podcast: https://www.griefgratitudeandthegrayinbetween.com/
