54: Janice Peterson | A Life Well Lived



What a treat we have for today's episode. If you’ve listened to this podcast for very long at all, you’ve heard me, quoting, almost weekly, the one and only, Eugene Peterson. Just in case anyone is unfamiliar with Eugene Peterson, he was a very much beloved American Pastor, professor, author and poet who passed away in 2018. Eugene wrote over 30 books including The Message, which is a beautiful paraphrasing translation of the Bible into modern everyday language.
On today’s episode, we had the incredible honor of sitting down with Eugene’s sweetheart of 60 years, Janice Peterson, as she shares her story, the journey of discovering her own calling, how she met and fell in love with Eugene, and some of her favorite moments with him over their 60 years together. She is an absolute JOY! This conversation was just a GIFT, and we hope and pray you will settle in with your coffee or tea and soak up every sweet story and incredible word of wisdom she shares. Enjoy!

46: Michael Frost | Living on Mission



On today’s episode we welcomed our very first Aussie to the show, one of our favorite author, speaker, church planters, Michael Frost. Mike is internationally recognized as one of the leading voices in the missional church movement. He is the author of over twelve popular Christian books, including his latest project we’re chatting with him about today, Keep Christianity Weird.

We had such a blast chatting with Mike, we were literally on the edge of our seats the entire time, soaking up every word. We just believe so much in the message He’s spreading, and really appreciate that not only is he voicing the need for change, he’s also offering a hopeful alternative and practical steps we can begin to take both individually and within our church communities to align our lives with the mission of God. Grab your coffee, pull up a seat and join us as we learn together what it means to live weird!
