Matters of Soul Importance with Roxane Salonen

By: Roxane Salonen
  • Summary

  • You’re not supposed to talk about religion and politics…right? “Faith Conversations” writer Roxane Salonen dives right into the discussions we’re warned against in the “Matters of Soul Importance” podcast. Through her many years writing about religion and its often-necessary intersection with politics, Roxane has found few topics as impactful and believes that, rather than avoiding them, we need to explore them. She’ll be helped along the way by interviews with engaging guests on themes and questions affecting the soul, highlighting people looking to make the world a better, more hospitable place. “I never discuss anything else except politics and religion. There is nothing else to discuss.” ― G.K. Chesterton

  • Should we fear the incarcerated?
    Feb 7 2025

    Mike Little, executive director for Jail Chaplains ministry in Fargo, North Dakota, since March 2023, has said his heart has been transformed by working with the incarcerated, noting that we’re all bound by strongholds that need the healing touch of Jesus. He further affirms that we can learn much about God’s love through being close to those who’ve experienced brokenness in key relationships at some point in their lives, as many incarcerated have.

    In this episode, Mike will share more about this ministry and how it has made him more tender toward those who have wandered from God, and why they are just as dear to our Lord as anyone.

  • Can our wounds be a catalyst for God’s healing?
    Jan 31 2025

    Colleen Scariano believes in the body-soul connection and that our lives work better when the two are in alignment. This belief formed the base of the ministry she co-founded, SoulCore, a global, integrated health ministry that integrates prayer with core strengthening, stretching, and functional movements to nourish body and soul and encourage deeper reflection on the virtues. Grounded in monotheism, SoulCore employs Christian meditation and encourages “filling” the mind and soul with the life, virtues, and Word of Christ.

    In today’s episode, we’ll talk to Colleen about how SoulCore started and learn about her faith journey, including how some of the wounds in her life have been some of the greatest catalysts for God’s healing work.
