way good life with Eli Shackelford

Could life be way good-er-er? I think so. This podcast explores the deep connection of all humanity through an ancient text and a new experience of God. Faith. Freedom. Honesty. Hope. Everything points to The Christ at work in all things, all places, and all times. Let's go people. It's a way good life after all.

    WGL It's Always Been Rising: a poem

    Another poem generated from another walk. Cause, come on, that's where most of the magic happens. 'It's Always Been Rising' is a reference to smoke from one of the most famous Hebrew scriptures...About a guy who happened upon a bush that was on fire, but not being burnt up. It is always rising. They are always speaking. Blessings.

    WGL I see YOU...a poem

    Started this little poem on a walk with my dog Patch. I was overwhelmed by the goodness and grace of life. Enjoy. Music by Taylor Lacey of Salt Lake City. Support him wherever music is found.

    WGL Guides

    So...This one sat in my computer for a bit. Didn't feel finished. Not even close. Not even close to close. Just a couple of thoughts about some of the best people I've known. Not finished. The title might be the best part. This is about my friends in the disability community, but I don't do them justice and I can't possibly communicate how much they've changed my life. But. It's been the block to my podcast- so time to unblock. Here we go. Blessings.

    My Yellow Canoe

    I used to have a yellow canoe. It was a rehabbed canoe, like some of you. This episode is the beginning of some thoughts on broken systems and messed up processes. Cause life is way good, but sometimes we miss it, mess it up, and lose our way. This is the beginning of some thoughts on restructuring, reclaiming, and reimagining how life could go even better. Here's a new track from my buddy Tayler Lacey. Blessings.

    Then came the snow

    My family plays hard. Whether we're wrestling on the living room floor or exploring through the mountains...but this big snow? Enough is enough. We've had at least a foot more since I recorded this. I was shoveling this morning! The snow's not really the point though. It's how much each of us can handle and why we need each other to carry some of the load. We're about healthy over here at Way Good Life. It will be a constant effort to let things go and pursue the good. Tunes by my buddy Tayler Lacey. Blessings.

    Come out my people

    Way Good Life! This episode comes from a song that spoke to me about life, love, goodness, and grace...So come out my people. There's a place and a space for you and it's better than you know.  How do people perceive your perception of them?  How do we change this?  How do we welcome and call our people to come out?  I know we need them all.  We need you. Them. Those. And all the rest.   Here's a link to the artist: Forrest Clay (bandcamp.com) Blessings.

    Come out my people

    My Friend Markie

    Ahhh.  My friend Markie. She was one of the special ones. Unique. Rare. Good.  This is a little tribute to her and also to the beauty of regular old humanity. Scars. Blemishes. Shortcomings. Imperfections. And. Complexities. The whole package.  May you have a Markie and may you be a Markie to someone else.  Music by my buddy Tayler Lacey of the one and only Salt Lake City.  I've got some changes coming up. Stay tuned to hear more.  Be blessed.

    WGL I sold my minivan

    Took a little break from 'The Bible Sessions' episodes. You'll see those continued here and there. But this little break happened cause I sold my minivan last night, and it was a strange experience. I met these super sweet dudes from Chilli and Peru. A dad, an uncle, and a son. I don't know anyone that I would rather have sold my minivan to, but it did bring up some strange emotions, which seemed to call for a podcast episode. So I sat down and wrote a quick one. About minivans and soccer camps; about road trips, and first cars. Hopefully, my thoughts will cause some even deeper thoughts of your own.  Still rocking tunes from the one and only, pretty great, Tayler Lacey. This song is called, "Family Dinner" and communicates deep truths from a modern folk artist.  Blessings good people.
