  • 364. How To Walk with God in a Fresh, New Way
    Apr 15 2026

    "Wayfinding is the cognitive and corporeal process and experience of locating, following, or discovering a route through and to a given space. It involves both thinking and physically moving through space. It isn't about signs, it's about HOW people navigate from Point A to Point B. It involves: orientation, route decision, route monitoring, and designation recognition" (travelwayfinding.com).

    On today's show, Spiritual Director, Deborah Gregory, author of "Spiritual Wayfinding: 33 Walking Meditations for Navigating Life with Embodied Wisdom," shares how a fractured ankle taught her to walk, both physically and spiritually, with God in fresh, new ways. She's named each of her 33 walks and invites us to experience the childlike wonder of silly walks, the freedom of yuck walks, the power of Poohstick walks, and so much more!

    Grab your tennis shoes and walk into a whole new way of finding God's love in your world.

  • Why Do We Underestimate Ordinary?
    Apr 8 2026

    "Most days in Jesus' life were ordinary. Most of ours, too."

    -Amy Lauren Peeler

    This week's guest, Amy Peeler, author of Ordinary Time: The Season of Growth, writes, "Normal is necessary. And routines are for things that bear repeating. The church calendar is marked by feasts and fasts, by holy days and special seasons. But more than half the church year is marked by what the church has called Ordinary Time, a period where we grow and mature in Christ."

    I know for a fact that I underestimate the value of ordinary time. I live for "the next big trip" or "next big event." Or at least I used to. Today my guest, Amy Peeler, shares the great value and necessity of embracing the ordinary.
