This week, our host Shane Stanford is joined by Edward Grinnan, the editor in chief for Guideposts, to talk about what it means to be a caregiver and how you matter in the caring of others. Edward and Shane discuss everything from battling addiction to what it means to love and be connected with someone in need of full-time care and the anxieties that can come from that. They talk about the importance of living in the present moment, and the ways God meets us there. Edward reminds us that we matter as we care for others because the Lord uses even those moments to heal and restore our own life.

In this week’s episode of You Matter, our host Shane has astrophysicist and theologian David Wilkinson on to talk about the relationship between Christianity and the world of physics. They converse about the beauty of God’s evidence in the physical world in Jesus and what belief looks like in an accelerating world. David and Shane look at the similarities of beliefs in faith and science.

Their discussion ranges from the Shroud of Turin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shroud_of_Turin) to Taylor Swift to the importance of truly living out our faith in the world. Most importantly, David reminds us that we matter in how we reflect Jesus to others in our kindness and love in action and words.
