After Father Kyle lists the many backup emergency items he has in his car, Hallie asks where you draw the line between being prepared and being spontaneous? When do you lean into prudence and when do embrace the exciting unpredictability of life and let the Spirit move you? And if the key lies in good discernment, how do you learn to recognize God's voice? 

Hallie reveals to Father Kyle that she has gotten sucked into her crossword puzzle app and they discuss what our actions, physical surroundings, and choices have to tell us about our deeper state of well being.

In this episode, Hallie and Father Kyle talk about getting to know God through the variety of prayer that is right for your particular life. Beatboxing ensues.
