Suzanne encourages listeners to try to say yes to people and I really liked her suggestion that we do something better than they need to be done. Find out somebody’s motivation and help them.

We hear more about leading by doing great work and taking care of clients and people. We must take people along on the journey, and a big one for some of us extroverts, get comfortable with silence! I particularly enjoyed Amy's...

Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity Making Sense of Suffering in Light of EternityWe are so excited to be back after an impromptu break from podcasting over the past month or so. The reason? We're expecting another baby! Between "book launch burn out" and first trimester, it was time to rest. This week on the Embracing a Simpler Life podcast we are tackling an incredibly difficult topic: suffering. In fact, suffering is the thing that stands between many people and faith in God, because they don't understand how a good God could allow it. At the very least, most of us wrestle with this and struggle to understand. We do.

Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity Living a Life of Spiritual Discipline with Leigh Ann DuttonWhen we become believers, we are given the privilege of entering into a restored, love relationship with the very God who created us. There is an incomprehensible glory and weightiness in that calling. We learn what it means to take up our cross (sacrificing "self") in order to follow Him. Maturing in Christ is our responsibility, but what does that look like? Join guest Leigh Ann Dutton and me as we talk about living a life of spiritual discipline, including: What are spiritual disciplines? How do we find motivation to practice spiritual disciplines?

Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity How to Actually Believe God and Why It MattersSo much of what we invest our time into during this life will not matter eternally. Every worldly thing we build will ultimately crumble. Every personal accomplishment will die with us, or shortly there after. All our work will come undone. But God, in His grace has breathed purpose back into our living under the sun. He has instilled here some things that will remain after the end. These things can be interwoven into every part of our lives, should we choose to embrace them. I'm talking about faith...

And yet, each day we spend on this earth is a holy opportunity to live in an eternally meaningful way. If we fail to do that, the opportunity is lost forever. If we allow ourselves to wrap up in the wrong things, the implications are profound. If we allow ourselves to love the world more than our Savior, the results are tragic. So, is there a way to cultivate desire for God in our lives where it lacks? We...

Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity Redeeming Christmas Gift GivingThe practice of giving Christmas gifts has potential to be holy and precious, and yet somewhere along the way, we have gone astray. Instead of joy, we feel stress at the prospect of figuring out what to get for so many people, not to mention paying for them all. Instead of gratitude and love, our children feel a sense of let down after the last gift has been opened. Instead of slowing down to turn our hearts to the Lord and savor time with our families during the holiday season, we rush and bustle. It doesn't have t...
