Nearly a decade ago, I graduated from Rice University, while focusing my masters research on sexuality in the Bible. More recently, I graduated from seminary and completed my thesis on soul-body integration (and embodiment). Although graduate school is over for me (at least for the time being), I still have an insatiable desire to continue learning from the wisdom and lived experiences of others. I also believe that I am never alone in my need and desire for connection, through authentic conversation. So here I am, pursuing my own curiosity, incase you are longing to do the same. My hope is that together, we can learn to take this life a tad more “curiously,” while having conversations at the intersections of faith, religion, science, mental health . . . and so much more! Thanks for being here!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-11T16:19:48.391580+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/curiously-with-ericka-graham-6477170"},"episode":{"title":"The Spiritual Practice of Creativity, Trust, and Play with Rev.

What begins as a conversation about creativity opens into something deeper about listening, presence, and the way we learn to love each other in real time. Along the way, Will shares about grief, mental health, and the experiences that shaped his path to priesthood. Together, they hold a simple but meaningful idea. That maybe the work is to show up, pay attention, and respond honestly to what is in front of us.","meta_description":"In this episode of Curiously, Ericka sits with Reverend Father Will Parker and explores how improv can become a spiritual practice.
