What does a Shire full of hobbits in Middle-Earth, a county full of farmers in Kentucky, and a wardrobe full of a lion have in common? For Russell Moore and singer/songwriter/author Andrew Peterson, they were all a way to find home.    In this episode—recorded inside Peterson's book-lined Chapter House in Nashville, right down the road from Moore—the two talk about the authors who, by God's grace, helped hold their faith together when it could have come apart. From the wisdom of Wendell Berry to the imagination of C.S. Lewis to the honesty of Frederick Buechner, these authors gave a clarity that helped these two keep the faith.    This isn't just a literary conversation. It's about how God uses stories, sentences, and sometimes even sword-wielding mice to reach people in moments of doubt, disillusionment, or despair. Along the way, they talk about what it means to read widely, to hold onto wonder, and to be the kind of Christian who can still be surprised by joy.   They also somehow end up talking about Moby Dick, Dungeons & Dragons, and how ChatGPT was wrong and right about what books each of them would take to a desert island.    Books and authors mentioned in this episode include: Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry A Room Called Remember and Telling Secrets by Frederick Buechner The Chronicles of Narnia, Till We Have Faces, Mere Christianity, and more by C.S. Lewis Godric by Frederick Buechner David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene Peterson Moby Dick by Herman Melville Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction by Alan Jacobs And selections from Andrew's own works: Adorning the Dark, The God of the Garden, and The Wingfeather Saga Whether you're deep in faith, on the brink of losing it, or just looking for something beautiful to read, this conversation will remind you why the right book at the right moment can do more than explain—it can point to new life.

Life is a journey of faith, a long obedience in the same direction. Hebrews 12 reminds us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus—the author and perfecter of our faith. Just like Abraham stepped out in trust, not knowing the full picture, we're called to daily obedience, walking in faith one step at a time. It's not about striving in our own strength but responding to the voice of God, knowing He is faithful to complete what He's started. Our faith isn't just for us—it's generational, impacting those who come after us. So let's keep moving forward, trusting that Jesus is leading us, strengthening us, and shaping us for His purpose.

In this episode, Dr. Lee Warren, a brain surgeon and advocate for integrating faith and science, delves into 'Theology Monday.' He discusses the importance of combining faith and science to address life's challenges and seek the truth. Dr. Warren emphasizes that when facing seemingly insurmountable problems, faith can offer the support science cannot. He explores how God routinely accomplishes the impossible and shares insights from Psalm 121 and Eugene Peterson's 'A Long Obedience in the Same Direction.' The episode encourages listeners to choose forward progress through footprints rather than creating monuments of defeat and reassures them that God can make a way through any hardship.

In the final episode of 2024, Brian Delamont returns to the podcast to talk about transformed direction. Repentance isn't just a one-time event at the time of salvation but a daily surrender and redirection. Joel 2:12-13 “We can rationalize or explain just about anything in our behavior and our thinking rather than truly commit to a transformed direction.” “God is longing for us to genuinely change, for us to live lives fully integrated and aligned with Him.”  Hear more about VIM on Episode 157 Listen to “Come, Thou Fount” here and read more about the story behind the song here Acts 2 “Repentance is not a one time for all time thing, but it is an ongoing act of our relationship with God.” “To repent is turning from sin and turning to God.” “It's impossible to underestimate the power of a transformational change in direction. It can break generational patterns of behavior and bring freedom to entire family lines, entire communities.” A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene Peterson “God does give us moments, like mile markers along the way, that show us progress.” Mark 1:15 “Transformation is not me mustering up enough grit or resolve to somehow change my life. Rather, I become a new creation in Christ Jesus. And this is made possible through the very life of Christ, the Holy Spirit living in me, pouring His life into my life in every way.” December Reflection: What do I know needs changing? What do I need to repent of, so that I live fully into God's future for me in the coming year?

Do you struggle with discontentment and comparison in motherhood and beyond? Do you constantly second guess the best way to raise your kids in regards to food, education, health, and even naptime? Today, Laura Wifler, from Risen Motherhood is here to talk about her new book written with her sister-in-law Emily Jensen. We start by breaking down the framework they introduce in the Gospel Mom and how we are often looking for a formula to parent our kids but God has given us a framework in the metanarrative of the Bible.  Next, we talk about the challenges of trying to live in a Christian mom community- we know God calls us to be with others but what do we do when friendship is hard or not life-giving? As moms, we feel like there is a right and wrong way to do every single little thing in motherhood- feeding, naptime, schooling, health and those often all lead to comparison. Laura gives us some truth and ideas regarding comparison, how to be content, and accept your actual life. God has so many lessons for us moms if we lean in and apply the gospel lens it helps give life and joy even in hardship.  Connect with Laura Wifler:  Website:  Risen Motherhood: Helping Moms Connect Their Faith To Motherhood Facebook: Risen Motherhood Instagram:  Risen Motherhood®️ (@risenmotherhood) Links Mentioned:   Risen Motherhood: by Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler Gospel Mom: by Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, Laura Ep. 93 || How Should We Educate Our Children?

Send us a textIn this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg, Dr. Linda Schubring, and Brian Schubring explore what alignment truly means in team settings—dispelling the myth that alignment requires conformity. Using metaphors from nature, like the organized flight patterns of geese and the dynamic, colorful movement of flamingos, they delve into the complexities of alignment, why it's essential for effective teamwork, and how it often looks messier than we might expect. The conversation highlights that alignment isn't about uniformity; rather, it's a shared commitment to move in the same direction while leveraging each person's unique strengths.01:25 Discussing Alignment in Leadership02:50 Flamingos as a New Metaphor for Team Alignment04:47 Defining and Achieving Alignment07:59 Personal Stories of Alignment10:43 Framework for Alignment22:30 Final Thoughts and ConclusionKey Takeaways:Rethinking Alignment:Traditional metaphors, such as geese flying in a perfect V-formation, suggest that alignment means precise order and conformity. However, Brian and Linda introduce the image of flamingos flying together—distinct in color, spacing, and position—yet moving in the same direction. This imagery highlights that alignment can be diverse, flexible, and individualized, challenging the need for perfect uniformity.Commitment Over Conformity:Effective team alignment doesn't mean everyone thinks or acts the same way. Instead, it's about committing to a shared vision and staying adaptable in how each person contributes. Teams can have different strengths, perspectives, and ways of working yet still move cohesively toward a common goal.Creating Personal Connections to Alignment:Linda and Brian share insights on encouraging leaders to define alignment personally. By reflecting on times when they felt aligned within a team, leaders can better understand the nuances of alignment and recognize how it may look different from one team to another.The Four Frameworks of Alignment:The team outlines four critical aspects of alignment:Clarity: Defining what alignment means for the team.Cascade: Alignment often starts with a few and then cascades to the rest of the team.Cultivation: Continuously reinforcing alignment as the team moves forward.Culture: Embedding alignment into the team culture to ensure resilience over time.Alignment as an Emotional and Relational Process:True alignment isn't just strategic; it's emotional and relational.

Chris Maxwell's 12th book comes out October 1st. Each of the twelve chapters in the book, “Things We've Handed Down: Twelve Letters I Leave for You,” is written as a letter to a reader. The chapter titles are all book titles from books which have impacted Chris' life. He hopes to hand down to the next generation key life principles that he learned from the books. “Disappointment with God” by former Next Step guest Philip Yancey, “Wounds Are Where Light Enters” by Walter Wangerin Jr., “The Wounded Healer” by Henri J.M. Nouwen, “Life is Mostly Edges” by Calvin Miller, “Surprised by Joy” by C. S. Lewis, and “A Long Obedience in the Same Direction” by Eugene Peterson are just some of the chapters in this book.As a leader and a learner, what books have impacted your life? What lessons have you learned that you can “hand down” to others? How have disappointments and wounds brought you closer to God instead of farther from Him? How can we lead better by displaying love, acceptance, and forgiveness? Listen to the conversation. Pick up a copy of “Things We've Handed Down” and read it. Get copies for those you lead. Be sure you receive what's handed down to you and that you hand down God's love to others.Amazon: http://bit.ly/cmaxmanWebsite:chrismaxwell.me  Facebook: facebook.com/PauseWithChrisMaxwellTwitter:@CMaxManInstagram: CMaxMan

They discuss how to use screen time to positively engage with children and encourage their faith. Jessica discusses the importance of normalizing faith in children's entertainment and providing them with opportunities to see their faith lived out on screen.

What is education for? How does the Christian worldview shape our approach to it? If you ask this week's guest, she'll tell you that it's for the flourishing of children, parents, and communities. Lynn Swaner is the Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). She joins us to talk about a Christian ethic of education and discipleship, the unique landscape of schools today, as well as the exciting innovations happening in Christian education across the country. We discuss what it looks like to approach education Christianly (whether you're in a Christian school context or not) and to live out Jesus' call toward love and discipleship as parents, students, and teachers—all for the advance of God's kingdom and the flourishing of culture.     Association of Christian Schools International  Mystery and Manners by Flannery O'Connor  Colson Educators  Future Ready by Lynn Swaner, Jon Eckert, Erik Ellefsen, and Matthew H.
