Podcasts about vintage saints

Karen  Wright Marsh and I have a wonderful discussion about our invitation to wonder and amazement. Through looking at the specific lives of those who have come before us, we can find practices that will shape the way we see the world and interact with God. Through beauty, art, singing, poetry, walking, cooking, writing, and more, we can start to pay attention to God at work and become people that are intentioned towards wonder. So join us as we contemplate these things and more.

Karen Wright Marsh is the author of Vintage Saints & Sinners. Narrating her own winding pilgrimage through faith, Karen Marsh reveals surprising lessons in everyday spirituality from these "saints"―folks who lived and breathed, and failed and followed God. Like Francis of Assisi who, as we consider in The Peace Project "was known for mercy. In fact, his contemplation of it and wonder at its power earned him the label 'channel of mercy.' "(Francis) embraced, experienced, and took note of mercy's transformational power as it affected the core level of his soul. Mercy softened and deeply altered him—setting him free from preconceived ideas and perceptions and setting him on a path toward connection with people, even people he had once thought wretched." (The Peace Project, pg. 25) Karen Wright Marsh is the executive director and cofounder of Theological Horizons, a ministry that supports Christians & seekers in academia by providing a welcoming community for engaging faith, thought & life.

Listen in as the editor at The Well interviews Karen Wright Marsh, author of the recently published Vintage Saints and Sinners: 25 Christians Who Transformed My Faith (IVP). Vintage Saints is a lovely invitation to meet some new friends in faith, but also to look at our own stories of faith and to identify the people who have been for us faithful companions along the way. With permission, we published two excerpts at The Well. We chose two women whom we hadn’t met before, and who had public voices despite their gender, beginnings, and cultural contexts. As fellow women seeking to follow God’s calling in academic work and faithful witness, we hope you enjoy meeting Karen Marsh and her "old friends."
