Faith is what we believe. Fidelity is our allegiance to it. What we do about “Fidelity” is really what defines us. In this episode of The Forge I take you through four of the most recent articles and podcasts that apply that understanding.
Also, some news to share, which I omitted from this podcast. The Fire Branded podcast is still the flagship podcast at The Forge but I have built its own “world” over at firebranded.fm. The new site also has hard-hitting commentary articles, but will focus on the podcast, and podcast related features, while The Forge will stay more focused on written editorial, as it has always done.
This will provide more flexibility for me as the commentator, and an enhanced and cleaner overall experience for both readers and podcast fans. If you enjoy my podcast, subscribe to the new site for free so that you stay in the loop of what I publish there.
