Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fighting for Sabbath rest
Q: Is there just no way, there's just no circumstances where I'd ever go work on a Sunday?
For me, my conviction is that real, that I had to say no, even though I understand the awkwardness of that situation, it's about obeying God for me.
A Digital Revolt
Q: How are you different?
I feel more present, attentive and thoughtful. And I feel more mindful of how I'm spending my time, if that makes sense. And I don't feel captive anymore like I used to.
A Digital Revolt
Q: Did you manage to keep the Postman Pledge?
Kind of. I ended up deleting my Instagram account completely, which was very huge for me, because it's something I never thought I'd be able to do.
