Today, we chat with Jeremy Kirby about what it looks like to sit with a spiritual director and give our undivided attention to God. We talk about the difficulties that come with sitting in the quiet, why it is so hard to hear from God, and what it could look like to build out a rule of life.

This week, Clay wraps up our Parables series with a message on one of Jesus's most famous parables - The Parable of the Good Samaritan. He shows us how we have a tendency to only love the people we "like" and challenges us to ask the question "How can I become a person of love?" rather than "Who do I have to love?".

So many of us are in a season of waiting as young adults .. Waiting on a spouse, waiting for the right job, waiting for what’s next, and we don't always know what to do while we wait. But in today's episode, we talk to Larissa Negreiros about her story of coming to America with her family, what that waiting process looked like, and what she learned through it.

In this week’s episode, we chat with our good friend Jordan Ball about the importance of living out of authenticity and vulnerability rather than an image that we can be tempted to create for ourselves. We talk about how difficult this can be with all the content and voices speaking into our lives, the societal and cultural pressure, and the very real, human desire to fit in, to belong, and to be part of a community. It’s a conversation we all need to hear!

When things go wrong – we typically think back to the past to try and figure out what happened… What did we do? How did we mess that up? What did we put into the world that led to this outcome?

But in this week's episode, Allie challenges us to look at ourselves right now. What are we putting into the world? What are we producing? Are we producing good fruit?

That's what this parable challenges us to think about.

This week, we sit down with Ashley Turner, who has spent the last couple of years working at the Table Group. Table Group is a leadership and organizational health company led by Patrick Lencioni who has written 13 best selling books about organizational health and teamwork. The Table Group has also created an assessment called "Working Genius" that helps people determine the type of work that naturally brings them energy and what makes them more frustrated.

She had some amazing insights for us on how to become a person companies are looking to hire and what the Working Genius assessment can show us as we learn to navigate this process of finding the right job and getting hired.
