Loneliness has been a major topic of conversation in recent years.  What is the antidote for loneliness?  Dr. Eric Jacobsen wrote a book recently on this very topic, entitled "Three Pieces of Glass."   We discuss what it looks like to cultivate belonging, not only on an individual level but also on a societal level.  Eric is passionate about reframing and restructuring the built environment, and believes that much of the loneliness we experience is not just a result of individual choices, but also due to choices we have made as a society.   Enjoy this conversation. We hope it inspires you to cultivate belonging in your own environment.

Modern health care in the West has provided healing and hope for many, but it also has had its challenges. Often the uninsured, the immigrant, and the refuge have difficulty in western medicine, as it can be confusing and costly.  We had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Morgan Wills who is a Regent grad and the President and CEO of Siloam Health.  Siloam Health is a faith based non-profit that seeks to care for the whole person: physical, spiritual, emotional and mental health.  Dr. Wills is passionate about whole person care and serving cross-culturally by taking on a posture of cultural humility.  We hope you enjoy this conversation!

It is clear that we are living in and moving towards a post-Christian secular society, but is this actually a problem for the Church and society?  Should we try to hold tightly to Christendom or might this secular age provide more opportunities than we think?  We had a wonderful conversation with Gordon T. Smith on these questions and discussed his most recent book, "Wisdom From Babylon: Leadership for the Church in a Secular Age."  Drawing Biblical Wisdom from the prophets, 1 Peter's audience, and others we find an appropriate Christian response to the secular age.

Today we see many spiritual practices both inside and outside the church, but what is the goal of these spiritual practices?  How much do our spiritual practices impact our worldview and doctrines?    Dr. Susan Phillips has taught on spirituality and spiritual practices for years and helps answers these questions and more. Our culture, social setting, felt needs, and values greatly influence the communal spiritual practices we incorporate in our gatherings.  Whether it be confession, prayer, musical worship, or even sharing a meal, our spiritual practices greatly form and shape us as the people of God.

Our bodies are uniquely designed to heal.   When we fall down and scrap our knee our bodies instinctively know how to heal.   If our bodies know how to heal physical injuries, can they teach us how to heal emotional and relational injuries?  Dr. Jennie Mclaurin has co-authored a book recently on this very question called "Designed to Heal: What the Body Shows Us about Healing Wounds, Repairing Relationships, and Restoring Community".    We hope you enjoy this conversation.
