This week, she joins the Recalibrated Podcast to talk with Mallory Brown about how to stop fixating on food and other things we use to fill the voids in life instead of fixing our eyes on Jesus.

She's always been captivated by several particular stories in Scripture: Abraham and his doubt; Hannah and her grief; David and his failure.

"Though many turn to the Bible for what to believe and how to behave, I’ve come to think that it offers us something even more expansive and beautiful and imaginative," she said.

She talks with our Mallory Brown about her latest book, which is a 40-day devotional about transformative nature of habits as it relates to deepening our faith.
