  • REPLAY #16- Bread & Beginnings: A Sabbath Starting Place

    A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!

    I love a good origin story. There’s just something about beginnings, right? Sabbath might be one of the greatest origin stories of all time. Woven into the fabric of creation itself, it doesn’t get much more “beginning” than that.

    Yet, I found when it came to practicing Sabbath, I really didn’t have a good starting place. You too? Let’s change that. Join me as we chat through my Sabbath origin story and Mark 2:27. Together, we’ll start our “Summer of Sabbath” by stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping.

    Here’s a small excerpt:

    "Because it’s not about what you can’t do. It’s about what you don’t have to do. And that sounds pretty perfect.”

  • REPLAY #15- The Shoulder Season: Swapping Our Should's for Sabbath

    A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!

    How are you feeling today? Tired, worn, burned out? I'm guessing your response, like mine, probably wouldn't be "well-rested."

    Life is fast and furious! It's why we crave down-time, vacation, and a chance to unplug. Not only are we wired for respite, our bodies (and souls) actually require it.

    Join me as we chat through Matthew 11:28-30. We'll talk about all things R & R for the soul as we kick off our Summer of Sabbath series... again.

    www.glordinary.com

    Here's a small excerpt:

    "It's why this summer, I'm dubbing it "Summer of Sabbath," a chance to stop, breathe, and re-create as we recreate. We'll spend our conversations chatting about not just what it means to follow a God who created rest and play...because only a very good God would ask me, and ask you, to rest, renew, and re-create as we recreate."

  • #70- Protein Pop: Finishing Well

    This is it! We’re in the home stretch now. Maycember is nearly over. And as eager as I am to finish the month, the school year, the season, the fill-in-the-blank, how I finish makes a difference.

    Join me as we chat about not just finishing but finishing well. We’ll take a peek at some tiny words of wisdom from an equally tiny book- Haggai 1:13-15. This bite-size nugget of Truth is just the pop of protein we need to finish well.

    Here’s a small excerpt:
    "Wanna know what I love about this verse though? The LORD stirred up the spirit. The LORD opened their eyes, wakened their souls to lift up, to get up, and get on and keep on. The LORD did that. Because in and of ourselves, uh-uh, we don’t have the stamina. We can only keep that pace for so long. We can only hope for so long. We can only work for so long. We will fizzle out and putter out. We’ll run out of gas. There’s only so long we can power through. But the LORD stirred up the spirit.”

  • #67- Glordinary Guest: Becky Niemeyer (Part 1)

    I’ve got a secret! When I daydreamed about launching a podcast, I assumed it would be “interview style” with various guests. I started writing out potential names, topics, and questions. Fast-forward to this week, and we are debuting our first Glordinary Guest episode. These occasional episodes will feature an ordinary friend living a Glordinary life because, well, I can relate to ordinary. You too?

    Listen in as I invite my dear friend, Becky Niemeyer, to join me for our first Glordinary Guest episode. Over the next three days, we’ll chat about the extraordinary no, yes, and open-handed invitation of God in Becky’s life. Don’t take my word for it. Listen for yourself to the crazy twists and turns in Becky's life.

  • #66- Glordinary Gordinary: Keeping the Horns in Check

    When life feels extra, those are the moments I need a little extra reminder to keep my horns in check. You see, even though I’m a nice person, I can grow horns and charge when I’m feeling stressed, presumed upon, and maxed! (Pretty sure that’s not just me.)

    Have no fear: God’s got us covered. Join me for an obscure tip from Exodus 21 to help keep our horns safely stowed while the ride of life is in motion. 

    www.glordinary.com


    Here’s a small excerpt:
    "Because here’s the thing: life won’t stop giving us reasons and evidence to bring out the horns, baby. “Release the bull!” We’re gonna “see red,” and the more we watch the news, listen to the clickbait headlines, and jam-pack our lives full to the brim (and overflowing), we’re gonna be ready to charge all the livelong day. Sometimes we can control those circumstances, and sometimes we can’t. So, what can we control? More than we might think.”

  • #65- Truth Trellis: Keeping Facts in Check

    I don't know about you, but when my calendar’s crammed and life feels maxed, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. How do we stay grounded in Truth when life’s throwing out facts fast and furious? Join me as we chat through Genesis 15:7 for a quick-reference tip to stay on track. 

    www.glordinary.com

    Here’s a small excerpt:

    "That’s our Truth trellis, and all our other circumstances, facts, and data must respect the boundaries of Truth. Oh, but Truth doesn’t ignore facts. If there’s more month than means, Truth doesn’t ignore that fact. If the diagnosis is bleak, Truth doesn’t ignore facts. If the relationship is strained and threatening collapse, Truth doesn’t ignore facts. If the child is less inclined to the Way and more inclined to wayward, Truth doesn’t ignore those facts. Facts are facts, but facts must respect the boundaries of Truth.”

  • #64- Embracing Habits: God's Best For You

    Goodbyes are rough, but it’s time to bid farewell to our Habits That Work series. We’ve spent a month of coffee dates chatting through all the what’s, why’s, and how’s related to our habits. So, let’s sip on one last cup of Joe and talk about the Who (um, not the band). We’ll circle through Romans 12:1-2 one more time, together.

    www.glordinary.com


    Here’s a small excerpt:
    "That’s the purpose of a rule of life, a trellis. As God’s embracing us, it gives us a little support to embrace Him back. Our rule of life, our habits, give the limp noodles of life just a little bit extra. Because life can feel like we just need a minute to recalibrate. But as The Common Rule author Justin Earley says so perfectly, “A beautiful life inspires a beautiful life. Even when the imitation of Christ is a sorry echo of the real thing....”

About Glordinary

From the publisher's feed

My life is very ordinary. I’m not glamorous. But in a culture that’s constantly chasing the next shiny thing, there’s something deeply satisfying about a ”long obedience in the same direction.” It’s…
