This episode was such a joy for me to create! Strahan Coleman's work has profoundly impacted my life, so when he agreed to come on my podcast, I was thrilled. In our conversation, I asked him to expand on some of his poetry that has deeply resonated with me. We discuss the power of silence and acceptance, the process of grief, and navigating pain, as well as his personal battle with chronic illness.

We also delve into themes of uncertainty, God’s unceasing love, and the spiritual hunger that calls us to seek fulfillment in divine connection rather than worldly distractions. My hope is that, as you listen to Strahan’s insights, you’ll feel inspired to embrace your humanity and lean into the sacred mystery of faith. Finally, we explore his latest book, Thirsting, which beautifully unpacks God’s longing and desire for us, offering a fresh perspective on the divine-human relationship.
