Author Interviews
In their thoughtful conversation, Jen and Karen discuss how the word, vocation, is related to other words like: passion, work, skill, career, opportunity, need, and success. Karen touches on important vocational moments when a certain "yes" or "no" proved important for leaning toward her God-assigned responsibilities.
Jen talks with Lucy talk about the eleven-year journey of writing this remarkable book. In her portrayal of the admirable and also contradictory elements of Elliot's life, Austen explains her approach to writing a faithful and clear-eyed narrative, one supported by historical context. “Definitely my first guiding principle was to speak the truth in love.”
In this interview with Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock, authors of Why Everything that Doesn’t Matter, Matters So Much, Andi and Charlie reflect on the heart of their new book, focusing on creative vocation as an expression of faithfulness to Jesus.
Jen speaks with authors Luke Burgis and A.J. Swoboda about the intersection of Christian faith and desire. How do we learn to want well? What are the stakes of disordered desire? It's a wide-ranging conversation about what makes us human.
In their wide-ranging discussion of the remedy virtues and their relative vices—humility and pride, envy and love, wrath and meekness, sloth and fortitude, avarice and mercy, gluttony and abstinence, lust and chastity—Jen and Grace talk about the importance of virtue in our current cultural moment.
Jen talks with Dr. Anizor about the deadly sin of acedia, its causes, and our Christian call to faithful discipleship. "I put doubt as the number one [cause of acedia]," explained Dr. Anizor. "That's the one that tripped me up and is probably the greatest cause of apathy in my own life. Doubting whether God is real, whether God is personal, whether God actually answers prayer, whether growth is actually possible."
