Moments that Matter Shotsberger and Williams

Scott Williams interviews Paul Shotsberger and David Conley about their new book Who Is Your Resilience Builder?: Loss, Friendship, and Creativity. Join us!

We're excited to continue our Books that Matter series this week, talking with Mary Campbell Huss Norman about the Fredrik Backman book Anxious People. MC is a Clemson graduate with a degree in English and is currently living and working in Tennessee.  On this episode, MC shares her thoughts with Dr. Shotsberger from her recent journey through Anxious People.  You will most certainly wish to check it out!

We are picking back up this week with part two of our discussion with Lauren Schaupp.  Keeping in line with our current series, Books that Matter, Lauren shares a book that has been incredibly meaningful to her, Learning to Walk in the Dark by Barbara Brown Taylor.  Listen in and discover why the difference between light and dark is not always as clear as we think and why there is some purpose to the darkness we all encounter, whether it be physical, metaphysical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological.  For more information check out your own copy of Learning to Walk in the Dark and be sure to listen next week for the brilliant conclusion of this episode.

It is an honor to welcome back a previous and beloved guest to the podcast, Lauren Schaupp.  In our last interview she described her experience hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2021 and is back to continue our current series, Books that Matter.  This week Lauren shares a book that has been incredibly meaningful to her, Learning to Walk in the Dark by Barbara Brown Taylor.  Listen in and discover why the difference between light and dark is not always as clear as we think and why there is some purpose to the darkness we all encounter, whether it be physical, metaphysical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological.  For more information check out your own copy of Learning to Walk in the Dark and be sure to listen next week for the brilliant conclusion of this episode.

For those who have been following this podcast, this information will be familiar news but for others, this may be the first introduction to Dr. Paul Shotsberger's latest book: A Love Letter to Twentysomethings Everywhere.  Several weeks ago Dr. Shotsberger was invited to the Rickman Library to share a summary of his new book, answer any questions, and read a selected passage or two.  With this previously recorded session, you will hear new insights as well as new content and if you have not yet already read or reviewed this timely book, visit Amazon for your own copy of A Love Letter to Twentysomethings Everywhere.

Continuing with our recent series of Books that Matter, cohost Scott Williams shares one of his personal favorites, A Short and Easy Method of Prayer by Madame Jeanne Guyon.  A longtime favorite author, Madame Guyon gained great notariety in the late 1600's with her passionate life of prayer and deep connection with God.  Her work finally found her thrown into the Bastille for, as she stated, the crime of loving God too much.  Her short work on prayer directs those hungry for greater intimacy with God to practical yet profound concepts of attainable and abiding prayer.  Give it a read and you will be awfully glad that you did: A Short and Easy Method of Prayer.
