Beschrijving

Apparently a third of us don't get enough sleep and desperately want to sleep for longer, sleep more deeply and with fewer interruptions, which makes it unsurprising that the US sleep industry is worth $136 billion. And of course it's growing year on year. But what exactly is sleep? What's the point of it? And why did God create us with the need to sleep a third of our lives being horizontal and seemingly unproductive and unresponsive and unproductive? Let's dive in.

Episode 19: Barefoot Prayers: A Guided Summer Series

As the summer unfolds, I'm stepping away from the weekly work of creating the podcast to find my own summer rhythm while offering us a collective way to take five minutes to stop, to rest, to breathe and be with God so we can switch our doom scrolling to wonder scrolling, recalibrate our nervous systems and remember who we're created to be and to find hope.  Let's dive in.

18: A Blessing for a Not So Bonkers Summer

Despite the constant stream of ads, posts, articles and travel shows, hyping summer as the season of sunshine, relaxation and the happiest of family time, it can be far from any of those things. The grief, the stress, exhaustion or loneliness we might be carrying in the weeks or months leading up to summer doesn't just vanish in a puff of cotton candy just because the earth's tilted on its axis, giving us more daylight and higher temperatures. So over the next few weeks, I'm going to be doing something a little different over here on the podcast, something I think we all need. Let's dive in.
