  • Love the episode on solitude

    I just saw someone recommend this podcast in a Facebook group, so I listened to the episode on solitude. Great wisdom and great words. There is a difference between isolation and solitude. I love when you said, “In the place where John should have died the death of isolation, he came fully alive... he was no longer isolated on that rock, he looked on the rock that was higher than him.” I am subscribing for sure!
