I have a question for you today: How do you do with incorporating play into your life?

If I were to ask myself that question, my honest answer is I don’t do a very good job of making play a part of my life. Sure, when my grandkids are over at my house, I do a pretty good job of that, but outside of those times, this is an area that I need to grow in. I think many of us feel the same: We often don’t even consider the role of play as adults.

Today, my guest is Courtney Ellis, who says, “Play helps our faith stick.” In our conversation, she’s breaking down why that is!

Courtney is a speaker, pastor, and the author of Happy Now: Let Playfulness Lift Your Load and Renew Your Spirit. She invites people to let go of their most serious selves and grant them permission to engage in curiosity and wonder of all kinds.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The science of unlocking happiness
• What often stops us from engaging in play as adults
• How play helps us more deeply connect to God
• Why useless things aren’t really all that useless
• And so much more!

This episode really gave me so much to think about. I hope it does the same for you!
