John Eldredge and Amber discuss the collective trauma experienced as we continue life during a pandemic,  the practice of regular pauses, and what it means to practice benevolent detachment.

Practice. Pause. Be Present. Questions John and Amber Discuss:
  1. (7:22) Right before the world shut down you released Get Your Life Back, which spoke to how we can "disentangle from the tragedies of this broken world". Two years of the world living during a global pandemic, I would love to hear your thoughts on the pandemic's impact on human minds and hearts.
  2. (11:05) What are some soul care practices we can do right now? 
  3. (16:01) Share a bit about benevolent detachment, this truth that “we are not called to carry the burdens of the world, but our village.”
  4. (19:44) Speaking of our mental and emotional well being, how can we be present with our emotions in order to allow Jesus in without being ruled by them?
  5. (30:39) My friend Eric said you gave one of the most powerful presentations of the Gospel he's ever heard, weaving it into one story God was telling and finishing.  Will you share a bit of that story with us?
  6. (36:18) In regards to prayer and communion, how do you relate to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit differently?
  7. (44:56) What are you working on right now?
  8. (45:39) How have you experienced the sufficiency of God's grace in your life?
