Live Your BestYou Are Easier To Read Than You ThinkYou think you’re hard to figure out. You’re not.

In this episode, Tim Owen unpacks what Jesus, the apostle Paul, and Christian psychiatrist Dr. Curt Thompson all agree on: the interior life always finds a way to the surface. And the most penetrating scan available isn’t a therapist or a trusted friend — it’s scripture. If you’ve been managing a surface instead of dealing with what’s underneath, this one’s for you.Check out our Y...

Slang of Ages PodcastJudith Owen - Ebb and FlowDon’t let the sweet and expressive vocals fool you on this Best of 2014 entry. Judith Owen, wife of Harry Shearer, knows how to craft a song.

But, unlike Thompson, Owen has a distinct 1970s Laurel Canyon-vibe to her music, with hints of jazz. “I Would Give Anything” and “Under Your Door” are so stellar they almost overshadow classics like “In The Summertime” and “Hey Mister, That’s Me Up On the Jukebox.” Ebb and Flow is a treat from start to fini...
