<p dir="ltr">Charlie Peacock and Andi Ashworth, prolific artists, writers, and co-founders of Art House America, join Dan in this podcast episode to discuss their life, work, and recent book, "Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much."</p> <p dir="ltr">In their latest book, Charlie and Andi have written a collection of letters to Christians and spiritual seekers who think deeply and care acutely about the state of the world and their personal spheres of influence. Each of these letters is a gentle nudge in the direction of God's powerfully ordinary purpose for each of us, no matter what the future holds, to participate fully in the beautiful, redemptive work of Christ.</p> <p dir="ltr">Our conversation touches on the importance of hospitality, the need to recapture the imagination, and the shared journey of navigating a chronic illness. In the midst of facing significant challenges and the ebb and flow of busy times and moments of slowing down, this discussion highlights a steadfast commitment to living a life filled with beauty, creativity, and faith.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-256f2e0b-7fff-880a-dbb5-202840d80620">Be sure to check out <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Everything-That-Doesnt-Matter-Matters/dp/140033764X">“Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much: The Way of Love in a World of Hurt”</a> by Charlie Peacock and Andi Ashworth, now available anywhere books are sold.</strong></p>

<p dir="ltr">On this first day of summer, we’re reflecting on the complexities and emotional challenges of scheduling and managing time. Why does managing our schedules often feel so stressful, chaotic, and even triggering?</p> <p dir="ltr">The episode begins with Rachael admitting: “I'm laughing at how we on the Allender Center Podcast could take a topic like scheduling and dive into the deep recesses of the complexity of it.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The truth is that scheduling is not just about logistics and managing time, but also about dealing with deeper issues like desire, grief, hope, and connection. </p> <p dir="ltr">The seemingly simple act of arranging our days can bring to the surface feelings of loss, as we confront the limits of what we can realistically accomplish. It can reveal our deepest desires, highlighting what we prioritize and what we long to make time for. Our schedules can also be a source of hope, as we plan for future events and possibilities, and a reflection of our need for connection, as we coordinate our time with others.</p> <p dir="ltr">Join us for what we hope is a relatable conversation on how we navigate this common aspect of life, recognizing the emotional layers beneath the surface of our calendars and to-do lists.</p> <p> </p>

<p dir="ltr">Please note that this episode contains discussions of sex, and mentions sensitive topics like sexual assault, rape, and misogyny. Listener discretion is advised.</p> <p dir="ltr">Do you remember “the talk?” Maybe you never had one… or wish yours had gone differently.</p> <p dir="ltr">This week, we’re pleased to talk to friend, therapist, writer, and <a href= "http://theallendercenter.org/trainings">NFTC</a> alumni <a href= "https://www.samjolman.com">Sam Jolman, MA, LPC,</a> about his new book, “The Sex Talk You Never Got,” which was just released this week.</p> <p dir="ltr">In our sex-saturated world, it might seem surprising that men need more talk about sex. But the reality is that sexuality is one of the most neglected aspects of men's lives. From the woefully inadequate sex talks many young men receive from parents (little more than an anatomy lesson or a purity lecture, if anything at all) to cultural messages that unhelpfully weave both shame and permissiveness into men's understanding of their own sexuality and masculinity, too many boys and men experience sexual desire as an area of struggle, confusion, and brokenness.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this new book, Sam helps men reconnect their God-given sexuality with innocence, awe, and joy, and shows readers how to celebrate--instead of struggle against--the gift of sexual desire.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-6b39620f-7fff-f016-f4da-bfe3e4298657"><a href= "https://www.samjolman.com/the-sex-talk-you-never-got-book/">“The Sex Talk You Never Got” by Sam Jolman </a>was just released on June 11, and is available wherever books are sold.</strong></p>
