In this episode of The Faith (In)Forming Podcast, host Travis Jamieson sits down with theologian and author Andrew Root to talk about his newest book, written with his wife Kara Root, about their family pilgrimage through Scotland following the way of St. Cuthbert.
Andrew and Kara’s journey becomes a living parable about letting go of control in our parenting, pastoring, and spiritual lives. Drawing on Hartmut Rosa’s philosophy of resonance, Andrew explores how we can rediscover God’s uncontrollable presence in a world obsessed with efficiency, productivity, and growth.
Together, we talk about:
⛰️ How pilgrimage reshapes our understanding of time and control
🕊️ What it means to experience resonance with God and others
👨👩👧 Lessons from parenting in an age of anxiety and optimization
⛪ How pastors and churches can become places of “relationful relating”
If you’re a pastor, parent, or follower of Jesus longing to live with deeper peace and attentiveness in a hurried world, this conversation will speak to you.
