The Prodigal God, by Tim Keller

May is full of all sorts of transitions and ways to engage with God and one another. We can't wait to dive into all of it in our next Habits and Holidays episode. BUT before we do, we're taking a moment for the teachers.

Because here's the thing. You saw the title of this episode. And you groaned. Even if only internally. We know, because we did it too. And here's the thing: We LOVE teachers. We want to appreciate them! So why is it such a sticky thing?

We decided to sit down, chat it out, and brainstorm some ideas to make it better—for your family, and most importantly, for all the teachers out there.

Clayton, Chris, and Amy are back with another area of spiritual discipline that's actually easier to put into practice than you might think—Hospitality!

(It also might be the most delicious of all the spiritual practices. And therefore, our favorite.)

We're diving into all the awkward experiences we've learned from and letting go of expectations together so that, step by step, we can continue to grow in this practice.

Pull up a chair and join us! We're so glad you're here.

It's our final episode in our mini series on Making Spiritual Practices Stick. We've been walking through various ways to make your spiritual habits ones that actually work, based on what we've learned from habit experts. It's been fun, and so we're finishing it off the best way we know how—with friends!

Join Clayton, Chris, and Amy on the podcast today, as they're making the case that your friends might just be the missing piece you need when it comes to developing your spiritual practices.

Grab a friend of your own, and let's get practicing!
