Sometimes the answers to our biggest questions are not found in explanations, but in good stories.

    Ep 36 - Dancing in the Aisles: A story about enjoying life

    Send us a textWe snuck into the coliseum at the county fair to see an "oldies" band called Three Dog Night. As a group of teenagers, we found a corner of the second deck where we let loose our ridiculous dance moves until a security guard approached us. His request was not what we expected. We did what he suggested and within moments the entire coliseum was on its feet dancing. And that wasn't even the best part.

    Ep 35 - Nourishing the roots to stay (even when it's uncomfortable)

    Send us a textI was in the front yard of a friend's house watching my daughters play with some neighborhood friends. Suddenly I heard teenagers yelling a couple houses away. What happened next was both scary and inspiring. Sometimes we hit moments of discomfort and fear, and our instinct is to leave. But what if those moments, those feelings that seem to be telling us to disconnect are actually a clue about how (and where) to become the people we've always wanted to be.

    Ep 33 - Are you willing to know me, and let me know you?

    Send us a textIt takes courage to seek out relationships that help us grow and evolve. It is life-changing to truly be known and to know others who help us see ourselves more clearly. So what keeps us from doing that? What keeps us from seeking out and spending time with people who can help us grow and evolve? And why is it worth it?

    Ep 32 - What we don’t see is most of what’s actually happening

    Send us a textA strange prompt to talk to a stranger in the park. A feeling that I need to encourage a bartender. Is that God nudging me or something else? In this episode I share two stories that remind us of all the invisible things that are happening. There's mystery there. And so much potential.

    Ep 29 - My faith story. A murdered priest. And the point of this podcast.

    Send us a textIn this episode I'm very transparent about my faith journey. I might be sharing too much, but I want to get it out of my memories and into audio so that the people I care about can listen and reflect on their own stories. It's intense for me to share it. The death of my faith was as important as its reawakening. Thank you for listening.
