    E880 | Making What Matters

    There are endless ways to bring beauty, life, and order into this world—from cultivating ideas, gardens, and relationships to creating stories, songs, and an atmosphere of love. We do so through who we are and what we make. Yet something is off. Projects and pursuits that once filled us with joy now fill us with turbulence, confusion, and exhaustion. In this life-giving conversation, John and Allen reveal why everyone is creative, ways to get unstuck, and how to reawaken our desire to create with God—based on concepts from Allen's new book, The Creativity Glitch: How to Stop Being Stuck, Find Your Groove, & Create with God. Show Notes: Allen Arnold's new book, The Creativity Glitch, is available on Amazon. For more on God, story, and creativity, visit Allen's website at withallen.com.

    E877 | Ruling Your Domain - Part 4

    We all have a kingdom. Within it, our authority isn't limited to internal thoughts, emotions, and desires—but includes our external realm where what we say goes. The problem is, chaos often comes against our attempts to order our external reality. That's because while we live in a love story, it is set in a world at war. John, Blaine, and Allen explain what the Chaos Dragon is, why C. S. Lewis believed there is no neutral ground in this world, and how boundary lines affect the reach of our rule. Show Notes: The book referenced is Addiction and Grace by Gerald May. The Bible that was quoted from is The Hebrew Bible by Robert Alter.
