John TY Smith was such a fun friend to talk with for the podcast. He and Charlene have been in my life for years and they are some of the kindest. John, who spent many years as a paramedic riding the ambulance, now works in a more leadership role. They have 3 boys and one grandson and are loving this season of life. John talks about how he experiences God in nature, how valuable giving slow, quiet space is for him as a paramedic. We also talk about the value of "practicing the faith," staying involved with things like Scripture, Church and prayer. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is his sharing how life-giving the phrase "but God" is in the Bible and in our lives. Enjoy, friends!
