Who needs rest from creating? In the beginning, God didn't just rest from work but He rested from creating.  After burn out,  Lisa-Jo and Christie wrap their arms around us and give us grace to pause.  Whether you're entering a season of creation or needing a break from creating we can all relate. Sometimes a season calls for a stop. for a pause. for less. You might not need anything new but need to revisit and savor what you already have.  "Maybe I don't need something new.  Maybe what I need is already here and I need to slow down and savor it." - Christie Purifoy Do we lose momentum in our life if we rest?  Feeling obliged to keep going but you want to stop?  Which alternative to saying "I Did Nothing" (thanks to Chalkboard Mag) resonates with you?  God is telling Christie and Lisa-Jo to pause.  Out of the Ordinary will be going on sabbatical for the remainder of 2023. Christie and Lisa-Jo both have books coming out in the spring 2024! Out of the Ordinary podcast will return again in 2024 with new episodes!! It will be so exciting to be together again!  Podcast links: Follow Lisa-Jo on Instagram @lisajobaker and Christie at @christiepurifoy and please leave a review about what you think about today's podcast!

Before we kick off a new season next Wednesday, Ruth Haley Barton sat down with Aaron Niequist and discussed a variety of topics from their shared background to their journey to a practiced-based faith. In a time where there is much to be discouraged about about in the Church, this conversation will give you hope.  Note: The idea Ruth attributes to Richard Rohr regarding “being on the inside of the outside”  is more accurately stated in his own words as “being on the outside of the inside" or “the edge of the inside.”  Mentioned in the Podcast: The Eternal Current: How a Practice-Based Faith Can Save Us from Drowning, Aaron Niequist Invitation to Retreat: The Gift and Necessity of Time Away with God, Ruth Haley Barton Everything Belongs, Richard Rohr Transforming Community  Music Credit: The intro and outro by Aaron Niequist.
