We know that water is a lifeline. We need it in order to stay internally hydrated and alive. And recent research also shows that engaging with water has additional, significant mental and emotional benefits, too.

But water also informs our faith. It flows through the pages of Scripture. We often need to be reminded that we are sustained by the Living Waters found in Jesus.

Today, if you feel drained, this episode is for you. Listen in.

Throughout the New Testament, our faith is often compared to running a race, and we are called to run the race well.

But maybe running the race well isn't about how fast we can finish it.

Maybe the goal isn't about achieving our own personal best.

Maybe the prize isn't found at the finish line.

And maybe the race isn't really about us anyway.

If you're worn out from your own personal striving, today's reminder just might be for you. Listen in.

Most people are required to take a public speaking course at some point, and I was no different. But in college, I was also required to take a listening course. In today's episode, we explore the importance of a listening ear and an understanding heart, and the posture that leads to both.

We hate to wait. And yet, all throughout Scripture, we see God's people waiting for far longer than they probably would have liked or thought reasonable. And we find that we are called to wait, too.

Today I share a couple things I'm learning as I wait. If you feel discouraged in your waiting, this episode might be for you. Listen in.

We read in Ecclesiastes 3 that there is a time for everything. We tend to think that opposing emotions or circumstances are supposed to be separate, that if we pick one up, we have to put the other down.

But maybe we don't have to choose. Maybe there's a way to faithfully hold both. Because maybe God is at work in the dissonance.

If you're struggling with how to feel or where to focus your time and attention, listen in.

In college, I studied a communication theory called Dual Perspective. Essentially, this theory states that we will be able to more effectively communicate with someone if we are able to see things from their perspective. If we can understand where they're coming from. If we can, as the old adage says, learn what it's like to walk a mile in their shoes. We don't only hold our own perspective; we enter in and do the work to understand someone else's, too. And while my term paper concluded adopting this theory would be beneficial for organizations, I've found it to be incredibly powerful in my own life, too. What might dual perspective look like in the context of our faith? How might we use in the world we live in right now? Listen in.

We have been advised to wear masks whenever we are out in public, and wearing a mask kind of forces us to look each other in the eye. We might not realize it, but when we look someone in the eye, we acknowledge their humanity, their personhood, and the Image of God within them. In Genesis, we read that God created humanity in God's image. It's a detail that applies to each and every unique, imperfect individual, and it makes each and every one of us worthy of a closer look. Listen in.
