from Heavy Things Lightly · host John Heers
Reilly Dooris, former FTF Field Director in Guatemala joins Heers this episode to discuss time and timelines. How do we determine the starting point for calendars?

Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly. Credits Music: Intro / Outro Provided by Greg Gilbertson & Band This is a public episode.
