Patsy often says, You are more than you know because God is greater than you can imagine. Zach Bolen, frontman of the pop/rock band Citizens, is a lovely and thoughtful communicator who is giving us fresh permission to open up our minds and use our imaginations as we grow in our journey with God. Zach is a mellow fellow, and as you know, we're pretty excitable; some would say "keyed up."

We began Bridges in the first few months of a worldwide pandemic with a conversation addressing something we know oh-so-well ... fear! (And anxiety, and so on and so forth.) Piggybacking off our series premiere, we are once again exploring what it means to thrive in a life of love and faith versus simply survive on days filled with fear. No matter what age you are, or where you find yourself along the spectrum between fear and faith, we hope as you join us for this conversation you feel a little less alone and a lot more known. This week's featured song is: "Jesus, Friend, Be Near" from Andrew Greer. Find more of Andrew's music here. Learn more about Bridges ...

We thought 2020 was a hum-dinger, but it turns out 2021 has been just as full of dynamic surprises and scenarios to work with and through! So this holiday season we are taking a few minutes to talk about how to simplify our lives so that we can create the proper space within our homes and hearts for the people and things that truly matter. No matter what we are working through culturally or working out personally, creating space through simplifying our lives is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and others. So lean back for a spell (we give you permission!) and join in a conversation full of grace for yourself (and others!) this Christmas season. This week's featured songs are: "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" from our own Andrew Greer, and "The First Noel" from Andrew and Cindy Morgan, available on Andrew's live Christmas album here.  Learn more about Bridges ...

The Gray Havens have been making music for the thinking person for nearly a decade, but it wasn't until burn-out from touring plunged them into a deep dive of all-things-C.S. Lewis that the married musical duo of David and Licia Radford began to really mine what it means to search for God –– to grow in faith and express more doubts –– while longing to be home.

As one of the founding members of Women of Faith's groundbreaking "Porch Pals," Luci Swindoll was known to thousands as a gifted storyteller, thoughtful author, and dynamic speaker –– often imbuing the platform with her larger-than-life spirit, adventuresome storytelling and mischievous humor. So when Luci journeyed on to the other side of life late last year, many were left feeling the void, including her Porch Pals compadres and our own Bridges co-host Patsy. Creating space to remember a life fully lived, Patsy guides us in celebrating the Luci she knew and sharing some of the lessons she learned from her very special friend in this very special episode of Bridges ... Life With Luci. This week's featured song is: "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" from the Women of Faith Alaskan Cruise in 2008 featuring Luci Swindoll, Sandi Patty, and Ayiesha Woods.
