Join us, and get ready for your best vacations yet! Top 5 Ways to M...

If you just read the title of this episode and had some questions, you're not alone. This week, Clayton, Chris, and Amy are discussing all things vacation. Is it a spiritual practice? Is it possible that vacation is actually something that's kind of difficult, and we need to break it down a bit to make it easier than you think? It's the perfect time of year to think on vacation, as you...

It's July! The best month of the year for taking a hall pass. "What's a hall pass?" Great question. July is when the heat of summer is all the way dialed up, in terms of heat, summer schedules, and the mountains of pool and sweat-induced laundry. It's time to take a break. Whether or not you have a vacation scheduled this month, we're giving you permission to take a break...

We've avoided it for too long. (Just kidding!) It's time to talk about prayer.

May is full of all sorts of transitions and ways to engage with God and one another. We can't wait to dive into all of it in our next Habits and Holidays episode. BUT before we do, we're taking a moment for the teachers. Because here's the thing. You saw the title of this episode. And you groaned. Even if only internally. We know, because we did it too. And here's the thing: We LOV...

And she’s joined by close friend, writer, and arts enthusiast, Bethany Harrison .

It's time to talk about it. Probably the biggest spiritual practice, the most "basic", and yet one that's still so difficult... Bible Reading. We get it. It's not that you don't want to read the Bible. It's just sometimes hard to do...or at least feel like you're doing it right . When it comes to reading the Bible, we all have expectations we need to let go of and...
