About the Host

Ken Schulte

I have no fancy letters after my name. I am NOT a theologian, minister, priest, rabbi, or reverand. I am just a deep thinker and I think it makes me more relevant to my listeners because I have NO agenda. I firmly believe my place in the story is to add value. If I help you, great, that thrills me to do so. You may notice I ask a lot of questions and that is because I believe that questions are the key to everything.
