Dear sugar is supported by.
The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heartsick sugar is here, the both of us speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
I'm Steve Almond.
This is dear sugar, radio.
Oh, dear song, won't you please share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell vibes every day.
Oh, and the sugar you see in my way.
Steve Ullman?
Yes, ma'am.
What is your religious background?
What is my religious background?
Well, I am what you would call.
What would you call it?
Culturally, I am very jewish in the sense that I think, like my great grandfathers were both rabbis.
And then the family went through a transformation in which we have essentially had a series of kind of secular rabbinical figures, academics and psychiatrists and psychoanalysts.
But people who, I think, are doing some of the same work that rabbis do.
And I believe deeply and powerfully in the power of faith and the Bible and both the Old and New Testament and the Mishnah and the Talmud as, like, some of the best and most amazing and important human stories.
And I am super interested in ideas of faith and how it helps us contend with doubt and uncertainty.
But I am not a believer that, as we have discussed, that God exists above us.
