I think we can all agree that we're too busy, that life is too hectic, and that none of us have time for a Sabbath. And yet, we're also stressed, exhausted, unhealthy and unhappy. In Ken Shigematsu, pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver, I found a kindred spirit. Ken has developed a rich contemplative spiritual rhythm which has revolutionized his life and the life of his church, and we discussed the simplicity and profound impact of these spiritual practices.

In a world with a plurality of religions and worldviews, how do we find clarity and purpose? How do we engage the culture around us without being drawn into a post-truth maelstrom of confusion? Noted apologist Abdu Murray and I had a lively conversation about postmodernism's legacy, society as the mob, and a God whose nonsensical, self-sacrificial love is the only thing that makes any sense at all.

A few years ago I experienced severe workplace burnout which came on the heels of the death of a beloved family member. Before I knew it, I was thrown headlong into a multi-year battle with depression and anxiety. During that time my walk with God changed drastically, and one of the most important things I learned was the mystery of living in the present moment.
