What will you do with your restless seasons?
Join me for conversations with writers, artists, and friends about the restless places where we
find God in everyday life.
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.
E8//Bread, Longing, and God with Kendall Vanderslice
In this episode we talk with writer, speaker, and gastronomist Kendall Vanderslice about food - specifically, how food connects to the greater story of our life and faith. Our conversation is drawn from her most recent book, On Bread Alone: A Baker’s Reflections on Hunger, Longing, and the Goodness of God.
E7//A Launch, A Beginning
