  • Reflections on the Life of Barry Kerr—Grief and Hope and Barry's Song

    Hey, friends. My friend, Barry Kerr, unexpectedly passed away almost two weeks ago. In today's episode, I spent a few minutes verbally processing what I had been feeling on the day of his funeral. This episode's content is not particularly insightful; it is primarily revealing. It shares experiences I had with Barry; it explains his persona. Lastly, I finish the episode with the silly "Barry Songs" my friends and I would sing for him every time we would leave his house after dinner or a meeting. We love you, Barry.

  • Tianna Haas—Pilgrims and Poetry: The Power and Beauty of Words
    Aye, y'all, what's good?! I've got Tianna Haas on this installment of the Pilgrimage Podcast. We talk about her journey to needing poetry, and its provisions for a life of genuine empathy. Written words are not simply ordinary shapes we come across on our media feeds, or in books; they are attempts to invite readers into the life and mind of the author so that humanity can be shared and greater empathy can be discovered. 
    Tianna encourages us to look at reading poetry in all of its forms as a sort of listening. She shares a few of her favorite writings, and she encourages others who desire to become poets with viable practices to help them improve and shine light into a world in so much need of goodness.

  • Alicia Akins—A Pilgrimage to Loving Neighbors Across the Globe
    Aye, y'all? What's good?! In this episode, I had the privilege of conversing with Alicia Akins (author of the upcoming book Invitations to Abundance: How the Feasts of the Bible Nourish Us Today). Alicia and I discuss the joys of celebrating and embracing the cultures of people all over the world, how as priests of the kingdom of God we joyfully welcome others alongside their customs, and the worthwhile practice of challenging our inner dialogues that deem our own cultures as superior. We both believe that having a healthy amount of cynicism toward our upbringings can instill us with a healthy dose of openness to those different from us, and, in love, we can creatively and beautifully display the life of Jesus in our own actions and cross-cultural relationships. Hope you all enjoy this conversation!

  • Ebenezer Endiryas—A Pilgrimage to Embracing Incompetence

    Aye y'all, what's good?! In today's episode, I tackle the topic of incompetence with my cousin Ebenezer Endiryas (pastor of Perazim Church and host of Shaping the Culture Podcast). We talk about calling, failure, and continuance. This pilgrimage that we call life unloads heavy feelings of incompetence onto us, and it causes a lot of us to question whether it is wise or not to embrace said incompetence. Are we wasting our time, or are we sowing an indispensable investment when we continue through the embarrassments and loneliness of incompetence? This conversation aims to encourage those whose proficiencies are not quite where they want them to be by pointing to the grueling yet beautiful pilgrimage of working through failure and hoping to see God work uniquely through each of us.
