In our third and final conversation about Frederick Buechner’s The Remarkable Ordinary, Aaron, Matt and Jana discuss Chapters 7-8.

They talk about the challenge of engaging the world and the ways that is fueled for Buechner by his own experiences of God’s silence. They also explore the various ways we react to God and his silence.

In our second conversation about Frederick Buechner’s The Remarkable Ordinary, Aaron, Matt and Jana discuss Chapters 3-6.

They talk about the ways Buechner highlights story as the key part of our faith, the ways that major events in our lives and the daily rhythms intellect and wrestle a little with how we discern the intersection of our story and God’s story.

Plus, a surprise beef at the beginning of the episode!

In our first conversation about Frederick Buechner’s The Remarkable Ordinary, Aaron and Matt are joined by Jana Dykhuis to explore Chapters 1 and 2.

They talk about Buechner’s unique style, why he opens his book with a discussion of art as a means of helping us pay attention and how we might pay attention to God in our ordinary lives.

Plus, Aaron grapples with our podcast’s “branding” and we share the story of a couple of lost episodes of Curious Church!

We know you've been clamoring for some more Curious Church Podcast and it's right around the corner. This next season, we'll be exploring the theme of "Listening for God" as we enter in conversation with Frederick Buechner's work The Remarkable Ordinary.

You can read a description of the book here and pick up a copy on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Our first episode of the season will discuss Chapters 1 and 2.

In this episode, we relax (some might say too much) and welcome Amy Langle on to join us for a discussion of road trips vs. flights, some summer likes and some rousing debates around summer-themed "Would You Rather" questions.

It's fun, silly, and as we promise at the beginning and the end, totally without substance. But hey, what's summer for?
