We start by touching base with our personal and professional lives, only to shift to our approach to learning and memory, the strategies we used to curate our insights, how that has changed with time, why long-term memory matters for creativity and the deep life, why a proper approach to memorization is a key to education and spiritual development, how memories connect to community building and faithfulness, and how the Bible invites to situate, process, and renew our memories in light of the story of Jesus.

* * * * * NEW TO THE PODCAST?
In this podcast, we engage in free-ranging conversations on life, faith, philosophy, ethics, relationships, culture, experience, and all matters existential. And as the title of the show points out, we approach these things "in the middle of things," that is, by grabbing hold of them unsystematically and provisionally. Concerning "about us," we are friends and verbal sparring partners who also happen to be colleagues at Andrews University. - Oliver Glanz and Ante Jerončič
