    Episode 38: Using Video Games To Make Moments And Why Screens Aren’t Bad
    Oct 3 2024
    I just spent the day with children’s gaming specialists at Children’s Hospital Colorado, and I am blown away. As someone who spent 7 weeks without looking at a screen and has written a BOOK about how beautiful life is on the other side of them, the irony of my speaking at this gaming symposium does not escape me. But today was such a beautiful reminder of why screens themselves are not bad. These professionals are using screens to create, receive, and rescue moments for children all across America. That’s powerful. Today was inspiring and FASCINATING. And I want to share it with you! . . . . .

  • Episode 32: Your Political System Won't Fix Your Life - I Went To The DNC And It Felt Hopeful And Sad And Unifying And Discouraging All At Once

    Episode 32: Your Political System Won't Fix Your Life - I Went To The DNC And It Felt Hopeful And Sad And Unifying And Discouraging All At Once
    Aug 22 2024
    I got an invite that I couldn't turn down... I took a last-minute trip to Chicago this week to attend the DNC, and I walked away with A LOT of feelings. I imagine the RNC felt similar—unifying, discouraging, hopeful, hopeless. What I was mostly reminded of was that our political systems can't save us. They're too unstable. Not to mention the fact that they're guaranteed to change every 4-or-so years!! I get vulnerable on this episode. I know that we've been working through the 6 pillars this summer, and they're hard practices to hold. I had a hard time living it out this week. I touch on Pillar 5: We are not naive. We know that walking with those who disagree can be messy, challenging, and even infuriating. But we believe the alternative—a world fractured by division—is far worse. We're not too far gone. We don't have to continue to live in a rage-fueled society that feels like our only hope is in politics. We can vote better. We can do better. We can be better. . . . . . Listen here for an overview of all 6 pillars: https://pod.link/1249486443/episode/17ea0d74dace025534324e77893ca97d . . . . .

  • Episode 31: Chasing Civility Over Silence In The Age Of Rage - Pillar 4

    Episode 31: Chasing Civility Over Silence In The Age Of Rage - Pillar 4
    Aug 15 2024
    I’ve been trying to lean into what’s been happening in society and culture as we unpack our 6 pillars. This episode is unpacking Pillar 4: We chase civility, not silence. We reject the false choice between conviction and kindness. We can disagree fiercely, but with respect and a commitment to finding common ground. Let me tell you, choosing civility is usually harder and will cost you more than choosing silence. But it is the MORE REWARDING choice. I believe I chose civility over silence when I posted a prayer for President Trump after the assassination attempt last month. That cost me followers, but I don’t regret it because seeing the humanity in someone who went through something traumatic was the right thing to do, rather than staying silent to keep my follower count up. So how in the world do we make the hard choice to respectfully disagree while still engaging in conversation? Here’s a few ideas: Think before you speak. Don’t assume. Seek out shared values. Take stock of the voices you’re paying attention to. . . . . . Listen here for an overview of all 6 pillars: https://pod.link/1249486443/episode/17ea0d74dace025534324e77893ca97d . . . . .
