#126- Sunburned Souls & Unforced Rhythms: Summer of Sabbath: Revisited

Two years ago, way back on Episode #15, we talked about shoulder seasons and all the things we carry. This summer, we're revisiting Sabbath with a different question: What if the issue isn't what we're shouldering? What if it's the pace of what we're shouldering? After returning from vacation with sunburned shoulders and a few fresh reminders about hurry, I'm reflecting on how easily rush becomes our default—and how differently Jesus seems to move through the world. In Matthew 11, Jesus invites us to walk with Him, work with Him, and watch how He does it. To learn what Eugene Peterson calls "the unforced rhythms of grace." So if life has felt a little tender lately... If everything feels just a little harder than it should... Episode #126 is for you. www.glordinary.com [https://www.glordinary.com/podcast] Here’s a small excerpt: "And maybe that's true of more than just sunburned shoulders. Maybe our souls get a little sunburned too. Because sometimes life leaves us a little tender. Not necessarily unable to function. Just stretched. Worn thin. A little more sensitive than usual. A little more burned. A little more reactive than we'd like to admit."

REPLAY #15- The Shoulder Season: Swapping Our Should's for Sabbath

A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend! How are you feeling today? Tired, worn, burned out? I'm guessing your response, like mine, probably wouldn't be "well-rested." Life is fast and furious! It's why we crave down-time, vacation, and a chance to unplug. Not only are we wired for respite, our bodies (and souls) actually require it. Join me as we chat through Matthew 11:28-30. We'll talk about all things R & R for the soul as we kick off our Summer of Sabbath series... again. www.glordinary.com [https://www.glordinary.com/podcast] Here's a small excerpt: "It's why this summer, I'm dubbing it "Summer of Sabbath," a chance to stop, breathe, and re-create as we recreate. We'll spend our conversations chatting about not just what it means to follow a God who created rest and play...because only a very good God would ask me, and ask you, to rest, renew, and re-create as we recreate."

#125- Summer of Sabbath-Revisited: A Fresh Set of Eyes

Two years ago, we started a tradition here on Glordinary…and apparently, we still need it. In this kickoff episode for Summer of Sabbath: Revisited, we’re slowing down with fresh eyes to revisit what God was teaching us then—and what He may still be teaching us now. From beach days and bonfires to burnout and winter-in-the-soul weariness, we’re talking honestly about how quickly life pulls us back into hurry, noise, and exhaustion. Using a tucked-away story from Numbers 10, we’ll chat about what it means to let someone “be our eyes” on the journey and why revisiting old truths can hit differently after a little more life lived. So whether this summer finds you joyful, grieving, hopeful, tired, or somewhere in-between, consider this your invitation to slow down. To savor. To see. www.glordinary.com [https://www.glordinary.com/podcast] Here’s a small excerpt: "So each week this summer, we’ll replay an original Summer of Sabbath episode and pair it with a brand-new companion conversation—a fresh set of “Hobab eyes” looking back on what God was showing us then…and what He may be showing us now."

#124- The Gap-Filler: When The Gaps Feel Bigger Than You

Riddle me this: Why is it often easier to spot the gaps in our lives than the growth? The unfinished places. The weak spots. The things we wish we knew, handled better, or had figured out by now. Let’s chat about that. We’re heading to Nehemiah 4 and discovering the hope tucked inside one small but powerful phrase: “the gaps were being closed.” Together, we’ll talk about parenting, fear, discouragement, growth, and the God who faithfully finishes what He starts. Because while gaps may feel vulnerable and exposed, they’re also the very places where the Gap-Filler goes to work. Join me for Episode 124. www.glordinary.com [https://www.glordinary.com/podcast] Here’s a small excerpt: "And when we stare at our gaps long enough, or rather, our gaps stare back at us- we can easily feel the crushing weight of discouragement, despair, and well, not-enoughness."

#123- What We Need You To Know: A Special Glordinary Episode

For this special episode of Glordinary [https://www.glordinary.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com], I’m sharing something deeply personal: a graduation letter written to our daughter, Sophia. But somewhere along the way, I realized these words weren’t just for her. They’re the reminders all of us need when life changes, when the future feels uncertain, and when we wonder if we’re truly ready for what’s next. This episode is about the things that matter most: God’s faithfulness, His presence, His Truth, and the steady hope that He fills every gap we fear we’ve missed. Whether you’re celebrating, grieving, releasing, parenting, beginning again, or simply trying to keep walking forward—this one’s for you. www.glordinary.com [https://www.glordinary.com/podcast] Here’s a small excerpt: "Because we may have taught you many things, but that’s the ONE thing we want you to truly know. Walking in the Truth…for this life and the one to come."
