How are we shaped through faith formation and God's plan for our lives? Do we resist or cooperate with God's artistry? How do we handle feeling broken? Do we expect ourselves to be perfect? Do we accept others in all of our imperfection?

How can we honor our parents/elders when they are facing memory loss and are at risk for health and safety issues? Balancing care, responsibility, and loss of independence.

Guest Chiquita Gernimo and I discuss time: how can we balance time with God, getting things done, down time, prioritizing, and setting limits?

Guest Carrin Mahmood and I discuss hospitality: how can we “entertain angels unaware”, support our housing or food-unstable siblings and not make assumptions about who needs help?
