Robert grew up on a farm in West Memphis, Arkansas, surrounded by a Baptist Christian community - where there was even a Church located on the farm - but Robert and his family were not particularly religious.

Kate was raised in the Methodist faith, to scientifically-minded parents. Kate describes herself as ten times more emotional than the rest of her family, and that emotional connection has driven her to seek her own unique spiritual clarity. Her journey is deeply compelling, and Nicholas is particularly blown away by the strength and wisdom she demonstrates whi...

Ron is an avid lover of history, and part of what makes his story so interesting is how it illuminates a bygone era.

Nick comes from a long line of Antiochian Orthodox (Christian) Church leaders and priests, and shares his robust knowledge regarding that religions' history and place in the world. He states, however, that he can't quite call himself a Christian today, because he sees Jesus as just one of the many gurus he has learned from on his journey to greater spiritual understanding.

Mat was born into a loving, devout Southern Baptist family in Alabama, but at a very young age he knew he was "different" - he was attracted to other males. Cognitive is about an extraordinary moment in his gay coming-of-age story, where a preacher in Mat's youth told his congregation that AIDS was sent by God to kill homosexuals.

Niki doesn't practice her Jewish faith today, but she does feel a strong connection to it, and she wonders if she might take on some of the ritual aspects of it in the future. Niki describes herself as very superstitious, but she doesn't believe in God. She does believe in ghosts, and definitely doesn't want to end...

Will is Jewish and was raised in Texas, and although his family participated in a Reformed Jewish religious lifestyle, he does not identify very strongly as being Jewish. He's much more into exploring alternate paths of spirituality, and he speaks in detail about some extraordinary moments of spiritual growth he experienced through the use of LSD and psychedelics.

Eliza and Nicholas talk a little about her play QUACK, which is where they met, and Nicholas' turn playing the character Brock, a misogynistic men's rights advocate (a fan favorite). Eliza was raised a staunch Atheist by her (Agnostic?) father, but later in life she discovered that her mother is a woman of faith.

Jessalyn opens up about having parents from different faith backgrounds (Catholic and Jewish), how they decided not to raise Jessalyn as either one, and how that's left her to grapple with her own religious identity. She speaks about the difficulty of her mother being ex-communicated from the Church, as well as the anti-semitism her family suffered during her childhood (bomb threats?!). Jes...

Jeff also describes witnessing a miracle on Google. Jeff is a devout believer, and his love for God is palpable. Jeff's feelings about Nicholas referring to him as acerbic? Also... palpable. Some...

He speaks about where he finds spiritual fulfillment today, his views on the afterlife, and when some performers from "Up With People" stayed at his house when he was a kid.
