New Ways to Experience God - Part 2
In the series conclusion, John, Stasi, Morgan, and Allen share some unique and unexpected ways to pursue God.
38 | You Need A Budget: Jesse Mecham
This episode is not an advertisement. Money and budgeting are usually more complicated than issues of dollars and cents, there's often shame and personal growth right in the middle. In our conversation with Jesse Mecham, founder of YNAB, we get to explore what motivates someone to think about budgeting, and what Mecham would want to change about the way people think about money. While there are lots of budgeting programs, styles, and apps out there it's probably best if you stick to the one you've committed to, and if you haven't committed to one, maybe it's time to think about why.
New Ways to Experience God - Part 1
John, Stasi, Morgan, and Allen invite listeners to pursue God in new ways this year.
37 | Morgan Snyder and the Possibility of Initiation
There are many things that we need in life, Maslow's Hierarchy and all that, but some things stand out on their own. Initiation is one of the big ones. It's something that probably most of us haven't experienced in our life, either in the small and specific or in the sweeping narrative of our stories. Morgan Snyder, of Ransomed Heart and Become Good Soil, takes us in to the ways that it is needed and offered.

John, Allen, and Sam Ainslie conclude this series by sharing how not to lose heart when circumstances aren't changing and your dreams seem distant.
36 | Living Embodied : Shame, Opposition, and the Call to Risk
After the triathlon nerd-out episode, we realized nobody's story of adventure and exercise begins at the starting line. For most of us, stepping out into adventure means working through sometimes decades-long stories of opposition. We asked Luke to come in and share his story of longtime injury, eventual achievement, and overcoming shame. Enjoy a conversation on starting places, breaking agreements, and entering into an embodied life.
When Your Story Stalls - Part 1
In this first of a two-part conversation, John, Allen, and Sam Ainslie talk about how our stories can get stuck...and what God is up to in these chapters of our lives.
35 | Tov: What it Means to be Good, with Mandy Nelson and Scott Morin
There’s an old line in Tozer we’ve come to appreciate a great deal. It’s this: “God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.” But the layers in and through which He is speaking aren't always obvious on first glance. Mandy Nelson and Scott Morin have spent their lives teaching and learning more about these layers and the implications for our lives.

34 | Allen Arnold and the Power of Story
There’s nothing like the guys on your own team—Allen Arnold founding the fiction division at Thomas Nelson Publishing, published between 500 and 600 novels as VP of that division, and has a better grasp on story than most people earn in their lifetime. Blaine and Sam jump in to ask about engaging story, how to create while inside conflict, and what it takes to set good stories, lived and read, apart. We like to say that we need to learn to read our lives as stories; that’s well and good, but to be able to do that, we need to learn more about the odd animal that story is.
Gratitude
As we near Thanksgiving, John and Allen discuss the astonishing power of being grateful.
