About Elevate Ordinary
From the publisher's feed
Elevate Ordinary is a show about finding and following God in and through the apparently ordinary content of our daily lives and vocations. It is about the adventure that emerges from…
rightly-considered “inconvenience” — about how the challenges of each day are opportunities to grow powerfully in Virtue — about how the apparently small, common aspects of our day-to-day life and vocations are in reality the raw material out of which God wants to raise up saints. From the breakfast table to the board room, learning arithmetic and weeding the garden, living out married parenthood or the celibate religious life; Elevate Ordinary is about finding a renewed vision of the astounding opportunities hidden all around us, and doing so through the most ordinary and wholesome of activities: deep, intimate conversations with those we love. Join JonMarc and Teresa Grodi as they seek to spark great conversations on the ordinary pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
