How to Be a Grownup Maddie Long

If you'd told me a year ago that Rob Bell would be my first guest on this silly little podcast, I never would have believed you. But here we are! Welcome. In this episode, Rob and I talk about his new book, Where'd You Park Your Spaceship, which is delightful by the way. We also talk about hope, the Atlantic Ocean, and of course...how to be a grow up.

Here is a quote I read in an email that goes very nicely with this episode —
“If we stay the course and go through this [dark night], we find our way deeper, deeper, deeper, and then we can see that at any given moment in these ways, through marital love, through parenting, through solitude, through oneness with the world, through silence, through service to community, through art, in any given moment, there can come flashing forth our unexpected proximity to this mystical dimension of union.”
—James Finley

The only thing better than writing boy stories in my journal is telling you about them. Maybe my experiences will empower you to be the right person so you can find the right person. Here goes...

I have not recorded a podcast in a long time, but there is so much going on in my head and heart that may help someone understand themselves. If you chose to listen, I hope you feel understood. 



Grace + peace,

This is an episode about consciousness, Saturday School, rap music, spiral dynamics, family dynamics, coronavirus, nothing, and everything. Talking with people is my favorite thing in the world, and I really liked talking with Trace Bell!

I love animals and don’t like pets. This is an episode about that.
