✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In Episode 108 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with author and longtime Guideposts editor Rick Hamlin to talk about following Jesus in a divided, discouraging world without losing compassion. Rick shares the heart behind his devotional Everlasting Jesus: 40 Days of Timeless Wisdom for Modern Living and offers practical rhythms for modern life: making “alone time,” starting the day with a devotional and a psalm, and choosing “good news” before the daily news cycle tears your peace apart. They talk about holding space (pausing long enough to savor God’s work instead of rushing past it) and living with “proximity,” where compassion becomes real through small acts of kindness and presence with others’ pain. This episode is a steady, practical reset for anyone feeling hurried, distracted, or spiritually dry, and it invites listeners to follow Jesus with love in everyday life.
