To help me launch this podcast my husband, the Rev. Dr. Ted Cole, agreed to be my first interviewee and I am now finally releasing that initial conversation. It was special to start this new endeavor to explore love, by interviewing the person I love the most. You’ll notice our cat Miso purring a bit over the recording, enjoy!

Ted is the rector of Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Jamaica Plain, MA.

Summary: In this conversation, Rev. Sage Cole and her husband the Rev. Dr. Ted Cole explore the question of what it takes to feel love and how love shows up in different aspects of life. They discuss the importance of introversion and self-love, as well as the role of relationships and roles in feeling loved. Ted shares his experiences of feeling love in working in restaurants and in their role as an Episcopal priest. They also discuss the challenges and growth that come with being a spouse and parent. Looking ahead, Ted expresses a sense of calling to help others nurture their inner journey and to explore the topic of Jesus in a book project.
