Advent memories #1 // Wonder

This week begins a limited series of reflections on Advent called “Advent Memories.”

In week 1, I offer a few thoughts about moments of wonder in my own life and how Advent is a time where we remember the wonders of the past so we can anticipate the wonders of Jesus yet to come.

e12//tasha jun on belonging & the dream

In this episode we talk with author Tasha Jun about growing up in a Korean-American family and finding belonging through faith, family, and community.

Tasha is a Korean American melancholy dreamer, wife, and mom, who grew up in a multicultural and biracial home. She's spent her life navigating liminal space. Writing has always been the way God has led her through the ache and towards the hope of shalom. Her debut book, Tell Me the Dream Again: Reflections on Family, and the Sacred Work of Belonging is available now, wherever books are sold. Find her at https://www.tashajun.com or sign up for her monthly notes at https://shalomsick.substack.com

E10// She Deserves Better with Sheila Wray Gregoire

NOTE: This week’s podcast features some significant language about human sexuality, sexual dysfunction, and sexual assault. Please listen with discernment.

We talk this week to author Sheila Wray Gregoire about her new book She Deserves Better: Teaching Girls To Resist Toxic Teaching on Sex, Self, and Speaking Up. (with Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach and Joanna Sawatsky). In the book, Sheila and the authors talk about empirical research regarding how the teachings of religious communities have harmed the sexual and social health of girls - but also how religious communities can be part of the solution for women and girls moving forward.

E9// To bless it and leave it

This week on the podcast I talk about how we look at former stages of our life & our faith and learn to bless what was good, but leave behind what we cannot take with us. Much of the content from today’s podcast is taken from my book The Gift of Restlessness: A Spirituality For Unsettled Seasons.

E2//Calling and Purpose With Justin McRoberts

Fair warning: this conversation will challenge what you know and believe about calling, vocation, and doing “what you love.”

In this podcast, we talk to musician, author, and coach Justin McRoberts about the question “What am I here for?” We talk about the restlessness that comes with searching out your purpose, and how sometimes leaving the thing you are “called” to will make you better for the Kingdom as a whole.
