This is our unabridged episode with Heather Holleman.
How important is it to be a good conversationalist?
In an age of widespread loneliness, close relationships are at a premium, and it’s harder than ever to find common ground, even with those we spend time with on a daily basis. According to Heather Holleman, this is due in part to the fact that we have lost the ability to have what she calls “good conversations.”
“Good conversations create personal closeness,” she says. “When you have good conversations, it could intervene in the loneliness epidemic.”

The Verb with Heather HollemanEpisode 33 Letting God Be Your LightWhat does it mean to see Jesus as the light of the world? Just as a candle cannot light itself, we cannot bring light into our own souls. Consider how Isaiah proclaims that “justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows" (Isaiah 59:9). Then Jesus becomes the light of the world.

The Verb with Heather HollemanEpisode 28 Chosen and Consecrated"Surrendering to God is hard. Not surrendering to God is harder." What does a surrendered life look like?
