    Unabridged Interview: Makoto Fujimura

    This is our unabridged interview with Makoto Fujimura.  Makoto Fujimura occupies an unusual intersection of personal realities: He is an abstract expressionist artist who discovered his Christian faith as an art student in Japan. He continually finds himself trying to bridge the divide between religion and art. “I can't really talk about my faith with my artist friends, and I can't talk about art with my Christian friends,” he says. “But for me, it's never been that way.” In this episode, he talks about how he uses traditional Japanese methods of painting — “slow art,” as he calls it — to explore grief, brokenness, and healing.  Show Notes  Resources mentioned this episode:  “Art and Faith: A Theology of Making” by Makoto Fujimura (Yale University Press)  Examples of Mako’s Paintings  The Four Holy Gospels  "Silence" by Shūsaku Endō  Similar NSE episodes:  Drew Holcomb and Audrey Assad: Vulnerable Art  Christian Wiman: Poetry Against Despair  Poetry as Politics: Poet Laureates Tracy K.

What if there’s a better way to live a full, fruitful life?  "The world is bursting with wonder,” says Oliver Burkeman, “and yet it's the rare productivity guru who seems to have considered the possibility that the ultimate point of all our frenetic doing might be to experience more of that wonder."  In this episode, he discusses his New York Times Bestselling book 4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, dispelling many contemporary ideas about productivity, and instead suggesting a wonder-fueled, counterintuitive method for flourishing in the world.  Show Notes  Resources mentioned this episode:  "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman  "The Antidote" by Oliver Burkeman  “A Testament of Devotion” by Thomas Raymond Kelly   Catherine Andrews, "Why You're Going About Recovering from Perfectionism All Wrong"  Similar NSE episodes:  Seven Ways to Ruin Your Life: Rebecca DeYoung  The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: John Mark Comer  The Power of Sabbath Rest: Judith Shulevitz  PDF of Lee's Interview Notes  Transcript of Abridged Interview  This episode of No Small Endeavor is sponsored by Dwell—the audio bible app. To get 25% off your subscription visit dwellbible.com/nse  Want more NSE?

    This is our unabridged interview with Kelly Corrigan. “What percentage of all pain in the world is related to wanting to belong?”  Kelly Corrigan - who you may know as a New York Times bestselling author and the host of a number of popular radio and TV shows - was a young mother of two when she and her beloved father were both diagnosed with cancer. It was, to say the least, an immensely difficult time.  Yet, she found her way through it by relying heavily on her tendency to be vulnerable, rather than hiding her pain from others. “It's just fodder for us to be closer,” she says of her suffering. “The point is to connect.” In this episode, she shares her story, along with much wisdom gleaned from a life of leaning into vulnerability.  Show Notes  Resources mentioned this episode:  “Tell Me More” by Kelly Corrigan  “The Middle Place” by Kelly Corrigan  “Tell Me More” on PBS  Kelly Corrigan Wonders Podcast  Similar NSE episodes:  Amy Grant: Fame, Vulnerability, and Staying Grounded  William Paul Young: Author of The Shack  Curt Thompson: The Power of Being Known  PDF of Lee's Interview Notes  Transcript of Abridged Episode  Want more NSE?
