We’re used to asking how the world works.
But what if the deeper question is: what is it saying?
Malcolm Guite reframes reality in our latest bonus episode—not as a machine, but as meaning spoken into being. Listen in now.
In our conversation with Hannah Miller King, this line keeps echoing.
Faith was never meant to be something we carry alone. At the table, we’re reminded that we’re being formed together—receiving grace side by side, learning a shared rhythm of dependence on God. And then we’re sent.
What we receive doesn’t stay contained in a moment or a building. It becomes the way we live—how we love, serve, and show up in the world around us. We’re not just individuals having spiritual experiences. We’re a people being nourished, and then sent out to become what we’ve received. Don’t miss this episode.
You can analyze a poem until there`s nothing left — and still have no idea what it means.
That`s Malcolm Guite`s point, and it`s more unsettling than it sounds. We`ve built an entire culture on the assumption that if you can measure it, you understand it. But meaning doesn`t work that way.
Reason is a gift. It tells us what is there. Imagination tells us what it means.
We need both. And right now, we`re dangerously lopsided.
New bonus episode with Malcolm Guite is live. Link in bio.
At the table, Jesus gives us something we can touch, taste, receive. Not just an idea to believe, but a practice to enter.
In our conversation with Hannah Miller King, we keep coming back to this: communion isn’t just symbolic—it’s formative. It’s something God does in us, even when we don’t fully understand it, slowly shaping our loves and anchoring us in hope.
Week after week, we come to the table—
not because we have it all together,
not because we feel anything profound,
but because we trust that God meets us in the ordinary.
A piece of bread.
A shared cup.
A quiet, embodied reminder:
we are being formed into the life of Christ.
And over time, that changes everything.
Hannah Miller King describes church as a place where our loves are retrained.
Through rhythms like confession and communion, we slowly learn to hunger for God above everything else. Don`t miss this conversation.
We tend to treat anxiety like something to eliminate, as quickly as possible.
But what if anxiety is actually telling us something true? That something we love feels at risk.
In The Anxiety Opportunity, Curtis explores how anxiety isn’t just a problem to solve—but a signal to understand, and even a place where growth can begin.
Not by avoiding it. But by facing it with faith. Learn more about the course and book at the link in our bio.
Yeah… we felt that one a little too personally.
We just posted this episode yesterday, and we couldn’t stop thinking about this line—so here it is again, because honestly… you probably needed to hear it again too.
Turns out faith isn’t about having a perfect week (or even a decent one). It’s about showing up, again and again, and letting God do the slow work of forming hope in us.
Hannah Miller King explains this beautifully in her conversation with Curtis about communion. We promise you don`t want to miss this episode, or her new book. Listen in.
We’re not just remembering something at communion, we’re being reshaped by it.
In this episode, Hannah Miller King unpacks how the table of God forms us to resist consumer culture, receive grace, and carry hope into a weary world. This is about more than a ritual—it’s about learning how to live. Don`t miss this episode.
It’s easy to drift into a faith where the lines feel clearer, the sides feel sharper, and the pressure to stay “in line” feels constant.
But Jesus never said the world would know us by our alignment. He pointed us somewhere deeper—toward love, toward humility, toward a transformed life.
That kind of faith is harder to measure. And harder to perform. But it’s also the kind that actually changes us.
Let’s follow His way, together. Read more from Russell Moore’s column in Christianity Today.
So much of our parenting (and honestly, our own inner lives) is shaped by the quiet assumption that capability is something we have to build from scratch—that courage, resilience, and strength are things we have to summon when life gets hard.
But what if that’s not the starting point?
What if the deeper truth is that our kids—and we ourselves—are not empty vessels needing to be filled, but people already formed with the capacity to face what’s in front of us?
In our latest conversation, David Thomas explores how that shift changes everything: how we respond to our kids’ struggles, how we speak to them, and how we help them see who they really are. Listen in.
The instinct as a parent is to step in, fix, and protect. But over time, that can quietly send a message: “You can’t handle this.”
David Thomas offers a different approach—one that feels slower, but forms something deeper. Ask questions.
Because the right questions don’t just guide behavior, they shape identity.
They tell your kids: You’re capable. You’re not alone. God has already equipped you.
In our recent episode, David Thomas (co-author of Capable with Sissy Goff) explores how small shifts like this can build real resilience and confidence. Don’t miss it.
What if understanding God requires more than just reason?
In this special bonus episode, Malcolm Guite invites us to recover a “baptized imagination,” showing how poetry doesn’t just accompany theology—it can actually do theology.
From Scripture to creation, imagination helps us perceive meaning, beauty, and truth in ways analysis alone cannot. Listen to Part 1 now.
