I’ve been waiting for Margery’s mother of a monk and Eli... more

I look forward every week to your podcast. You bring joy, sparkle and optimism to my week. In our current national climate of anger and tribalism, you offer a much needed and appreciated antidote. With you two, the glass is always much more than half filled and we need that.

Thank you. You two are truly genuine and honest. I often think about Margery’s insight on grief and how intentional their love was near Ian’s passing. I struggle with anticipatory grief as my husband battles cancer and I hold true to being intentional and love each moment we have together.
(…and when life is hard, I lean into Jesus and then spend time with my chickens).
