Over the last year or so, I have fallen in love with backpacking. I'm not talking about some fleeting schoolgirl crush. We are talking all-in obsession that doesn't seem to be fading. So what's the deal? Why do I apparently risk life and limb to exhaust myself before sleeping on the ground, often with rain battering the outside of my tent, also I can wake up in the morning stiff, sore and dirty to start all over again? Well, let's dive in.

This week I've got a treat for us all. My friend and bestselling author, Jennifer Dukes Lee.

She's written nine books and as what she calls an "accidental farmwife," she is someone who knows and loves nature and it's clear her faith is deeply rooted in it. Last week on the podcast, I asked us why God created sleep. And today, as Jennifer helps us love our mornings, I kick off with that same question. I ask it back to Jennifer. And whether you call yourself a morning person or not, she's going to help us love our mornings because as she says, "how we begin our days impacts how we live our days." 

Let's dive in.

Apparently a third of us don't get enough sleep and desperately want to sleep for longer, sleep more deeply and with fewer interruptions, which makes it unsurprising that the US sleep industry is worth $136 billion. And of course it's growing year on year. But what exactly is sleep? What's the point of it? And why did God create us with the need to sleep a third of our lives being horizontal and seemingly unproductive and unresponsive and unproductive?

Let's dive in.

According to my Bible reading plan, I have managed to fall over three weeks behind. And that's after I've already reset the start date to catch up when I got a month behind a while ago. The goal was to listen to the entire Bible in a year so that I could fall in love with the arc of the narrative and the God of its pages.

Today, we're doing my own version of Lectio Divina. Let's dive in.

Worry gets a bad rap, and understandably, but surprisingly God created us to worry. He just didn't create us to live life worried. Let's dive in.

Today's episode is a love letter from God to you, to us, to me, written entirely in scripture. My prayer is that it reminds us all of who we're hoping in and how loved we are, because these things go a long way to activating our parasympathetic nervous system and our calm response. May it calm your heart, your mind, your body, and your soul. Let's dive in.
