Something new for something beautiful
We’re trying something new over at the something beautiful podcast.
Yes, it is indeed an experiment in podcasting.
We’re trying a new shorter and concise format with the podcast, with a goal of keeping each episode between five to 10 minutes max.
Along with the shorter episodes, we’re changing up the style and the focus of each podcast.
Rather than drilling down into a guest’s entire story – we’re shifting our focus to what inspires them.
Our first guest is Kevin Hendricks – a good friend of the podcast and the author of several books, including his latest, 137 Books in One Year.
Whether your a long time listener of the podcast or you’ve never even visited the site, I hope you’ll take a few minutes and give the new format a listen and let us know what you think.
When atheists and Baptists agree
“In matters that are so obscure and far beyond our vision, we find in Holy Scripture passages which can be interpreted in very different ways without prejudice to the faith we have received. In such cases, we should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand on one side that, if further progress in the search for truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it.”
– St. Augustine
A brilliant quote from St. Augustine, as referenced by Rachel Evans in her Washington Post column.
I interviewed Rachel for our podcast a week or two ago and just finished reading her book, “Evolving in Monkey Town.” A great read.
In the book (and somewhat in the column) Rachel lays out her memories and discusses how being given the space to ask questions and have doubt actually helped save her faith.
It’s a great example of why building spaces of grace have become so important to me.
Brandt Russo shares his story
Go the chance to officially meet Brandt Russo last night in Midlothian. Had a great time hanging out and catching up with him — and I was able to convince him to do a short video interview as well.

Beautiful stories

Not because of our savvy production skills or Thomas and Stewart’s great accents — but because of the amazing stories we get to share each and every week.
We’ve just published our sixth episode of our third “season.”
Here’s a run down of the stories we’ve shared so far in 2010:
David Timothy – Dallas SoupMan
William Stanger – Salvation Army Officer in Canada
Charles Lee – justice and compassion issues, co-founder of JustOne
Pernell Goodyear – Salvation Army Officer in Canada (part 1 and 2)
Jonathan Merritt – Why creation care matters

Also, in case you missed it, my buddy Chad interviewed me over on Homebrewed Christianity about my novel. Really enjoyed it and was honored to be invited on as a guest.
Goosebumps and Justice (advent reflections)
If you haven’t had a chance to – I’d highly recommend taking 40 min and listening to our advent reflections from the podcast last week.
Perhaps pull it up on your computer/Hi-Fi/iPods and listen as a family around the fire tonight or tomorrow evening.
Enjoy the thoughts, reflections and music and remember what this season of the year is all about.
