How Did That Go?

In this episode, Jeremy and Jamie discuss what it looks and feels like to experiment with something new.

Examen

With the Lenten season approaching—Ash Wednesday is next week—Jamie and Jeremy ponder preparation and prayer. The Daily Examen is one of many prayer practices to consider experimenting with and possibly implementing into our daily lives with hopes of connecting deeper to God. Intentional consideration of prayer practices is another way we can grow in our second half living.

Grief

Jamie and her guest Jill Beverlin share about grief. They consider stories of grief in their own lives and ways they have—and continue to—manage and work through grief.
