for the moms listening, thinking really are these sweeping
2
:up cheerios and cleaning highchair
straps and changing diapers?
3
:Is this really holy work that I'm doing?
4
:Dan: That, that may be the
most holy and significant work
5
:That we can do.
6
:Speaker: They're the
joyful agains our children.
7
:Shout on the swings, the exhausting
agains of cooking and laundry and
8
:the difficult agains of discipline.
9
:So much of what we do
as mothers is on repeat.
10
:So what if we woke up with clarity,
knowing which agains we were called to.
11
:And went to bed believing we are
faithful in what matters most.
12
:We believe God's word is
the key to untangle from the
13
:confusion and overwhelm we feel.
14
:Let's look up together to embrace a
motherhood full of freedom and joy.
15
:Welcome to part two of my conversation
with Daniel Trippy, the founder
16
:of the Center For Christian
Thought and Ethics, we discuss his
17
:latest book, compelling Ethics.
18
:If you're a mom, longing to think
biblically, but struggling with
19
:how to communicate it to the world
and to your kids, this is for you.
20
:In this interview, Dan even
took time to encourage moms.
21
:With the importance of what you do, this
episode is sure to remind you that what
22
:moms do every day truly matters to God.
23
:Stephanie: What are some things, even in
current events today, that you are looking
24
:and watching and thinking, man, if people
just had God's perspective on goodness,
25
:truth and beauty, we wouldn't be having
this debate here or this, crisis here.
26
:Dan: Yeah, I think we are at a real
inflection point where you have a
27
:lot of different things at play.
28
:One, we're seeing geopolitically,
the rise of empires.
29
:We've entered into kind of this, uh, new
era that's not new, but it's new to us
30
:so that's putting a lot of things that.
31
:In tension with each other.
32
:You have east, west,
tensions that are happening.
33
:So I see that our political polarization,
this is really traumatic for us because
34
:we as a nation are going to have
to respond to some of these things.
35
:We need to respond to
some of these things.
36
:And yet, I don't know, I'm concerned
that we don't have the shared values
37
:as a nation anymore to respond to the,
the changing geopolitical landscape.
38
:So I think that's something
that I'm really concerned about.
39
:I think we also have, , tension point
where we can't dialogue anymore.
40
:So you have, on one side, you have
issues that are about the common good
41
:general welfare versus individualism.
42
:So you're watching this in, different
states, different areas where, you have,
43
:in the name of general welfare, the
denigration of individuals, and you also
44
:have in the elevation of individuals, so
that, that's a, a real concern that I see.
45
:If there's one issue, I'm really,
um, I got my finger on that.
46
:As young young men in their twenties
are finding, a reaction to, uh, how they
47
:have received and been portrayed and some
of the things that they, they have been
48
:almost in some ways a forgotten group.
49
:And they are looking
for purpose and meaning.
50
:Many are moving to the church, which
I'm so grateful for, but many are
51
:moving into other things to fill that
void, and that's very concerning to me.
52
:Stephanie: I have three sons and
they're, 14, 13, and 11 right now.
53
:You have raised twin sons.
54
:How would you be purposeful as a
parent in helping them embrace their
55
:design and their role and culture?
56
:Yeah, for young men especially.
57
:Dan: Yeah, I think I want to help young
men to, embrace their masculinity, to
58
:embrace that in a godly way, right?
59
:We do have to recognize, okay,
what are stereotypes but what does
60
:it mean to be aim, a godly man?
61
:What does it mean to have a vision for
family and purpose, to be a community
62
:member, a husband, a father, a provider,
all of those things, because young men
63
:in our country are really feeling like
64
:they have been demonized, and
they're the one group that doesn't
65
:feel like they have a voice.
66
:So they're looking for places where their
voice is heard, and you're seeing that
67
:online helping them en engage in God's
mission gives our purpose, an affirmation
68
:of how he's created us and our identity.
69
:So raising young boys, both
of my boys are very different.
70
:We tried to spend a lot of time,
together in nature, a lot of time
71
:fishing, a lot of time talking, and I
would say, cultivate a conversational
72
:community where nothing is off limits.
73
:I, again, these, one of the things
I was open with, I raised them.
74
:Before iPhones and social media were
really, you know, they were just
75
:coming on the scene, but it being
open and honest about the scourge of
76
:pornography, the scourge of online
community, those things, I think we
77
:have to speak to them openly about that.
78
:Stephanie: If you had to give,
and, you can go on as long as you'd
79
:like, but what would be a concise
way to define biblical manhood?
80
:I'm sure with twins, they
very different personalities.
81
:My three boys are very different.
82
:What are the common traits
that, in general, God has
83
:intended for men to embrace?
84
:Dan: Yeah, well, I think we look
at Christ, we look at Jesus, right?
85
:Strong constitution, he is, determined
vision to do his father's will.
86
:So we want to have our, our boys
have a strong constitution determined
87
:to do the will of God, to embrace
truth, to embrace meekness, right?
88
:Meekness not being weakness, meekness
being, power under control, right?
89
:I think there are virtues, I
think teaching our young men, uh,
90
:biblical, the biblical virtues.
91
:But I also say maybe that
the virtues of courage.
92
:The virtues of justice, right?
93
:The courage, teaching them
what these things are and then
94
:affirming them as they do them.
95
:So I think we have to
create a real vision.
96
:Like, oh, I caught you.
97
:Like I saw you with your sister.
98
:That was a patient act.
99
:Good job.
100
:That was, we have to name it
for them at, at an early age.
101
:And then I think as they get into
their teen years, we're affirming,
102
:we'll give them a little rope, not
too much, but we give them a little
103
:bit and then we, reel it back.
104
:So again, I think Christ is the example
that we wanna show our young men.
105
:Stephanie: Yes, absolutely.
106
:I think of kind of this idea of
raising a David in a raise your
107
:Hand world, , and yet , I want my
boys to be a strong force for truth.
108
:But kind and gracious, but sometimes, yes.
109
:How do you channel that and make
sure that the character comes first?
110
:Sometimes I feel like we, yeah, we
have control of that decisiveness
111
:or of the strength, but making sure
that, character leads and it's just
112
:an interesting process, I think.
113
:Especially as they're getting older.
114
:At some point I want them to be able
to lead a family, and how do I start to
115
:loosen those reigns and give them a little
bit more freedom in our home, but checking
116
:in, is your character ready for this?
117
:It's an interesting process.
118
:Dan: it is.
119
:And it's imperfect.
120
:So we give ourselves like, we recognize
the grace that's been given to us.
121
:We need to , parent with grace.
122
:I, I really think one virtue
that we need to really help our
123
:young men with is self-control.
124
:Right now, right?
125
:The world has got so many things
offering it and everything's at a
126
:click of a button and everything
that's accessible, is not necessary.
127
:And obviously everything
that's accessible is not good.
128
:So I think really cultivating in our, in
our young men a vision for self-control.
129
:But a vision and a purpose
of something bigger in life.
130
:And, uh, I think this is why Charlie Kirk,
found so much resonance on college campus.
131
:He was just confronting the nihilism
of the culture and saying, no,
132
:there's a bigger purpose for us.
133
:And if we don't give that as, as
Christians and in the church, there are
134
:counterfeits out there that are really
looking to give that to our young men.
135
:Stephanie: Yes, agreed.
136
:Sure.
137
:One of my boys came to me recently and
we're very careful with what, you know,
138
:we give them access to and everything.
139
:But he said, you know what?
140
:I don't think that I'm
ready for this privilege.
141
:I thought I could, I thought that I could
control myself, and I don't think I can.
142
:So I'd like you to take it away from me.
143
:Dan: Wow.
144
:Stephanie: And on the one hand
you're like I wish you did have the
145
:self-control to handle it, but I am
so proud of you for that humility.
146
:And there'll probably be a time
that will come soon where he
147
:thinks that he is ready for it.
148
:And I'm gonna remember that moment.
149
:But I, I was so proud, like, thank you
for that humility, for recognizing it
150
:even, and I try to lead in humility too,
151
:those boundaries are hard for
me to manage and the constant
152
:inundation of communication.
153
:But it's an interesting
process to parent, for sure.
154
:Dan: Yeah I pray for you.
155
:I snuck right
156
:The bar before all of this was unleashed.
157
:My kids did not have technology till
they got into college, so a lot of their
158
:character formation was and even then it
was still, there were struggles for sure.
159
:But parenting today is it, man,
it's an active 24 hour day pray,
160
:Stephanie: Even going back to the
garden, and I realize Adam and Eve
161
:were made with maturity and as adults,
but I think sometimes with parenting,
162
:I do want to set my children up for
success, but the Lord still allowed
163
:the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil to be accessible to Adam and Eve.
164
:And as parents, we have to be careful
to not shelter them from everything,
165
:especially as they get older that
there is that opportunity to choose
166
:what's good , but obviously I think
that there's such wisdom in, in what's
167
:available but just realizing that my
job isn't to just control all of the
168
:situations, but to guide that they
would want to choose wisely at times.
169
:Dan: Yeah.
170
:And, you know, home of Grace, again,
the good beauty and truth when
171
:this becomes the foundational, our
home just doesn't talk about it.
172
:It be, it embodies that even.
173
:And there may be some
listen who have prodigals.
174
:I have some experience in this.
175
:That's a really difficult
lonely place as a parent.
176
:What did I do wrong
177
:And.
178
:I think one of the most compelling
things when your home has good beauty
179
:and truth embodied in it, even when you
have a prodigal, deep down they know I,
180
:I can go home and it was better when I'm
eating lop, when I'm eating the pods,
181
:I know it's better in my father's home.
182
:So, uh, praise God.
183
:We, we had a season of that and
it was the beauty and goodness
184
:of the home that drew them back.
185
:They're gonna make mistakes.
186
:It's really hard.
187
:It's really painful.
188
:And yet God is sovereign over
that and he loves our kids
189
:infinitely more than, than we do.
190
:Stephanie: Thank you for sharing
that personal experience.
191
:It reminds me that when I was,
just looking into your book a
192
:little bit, I saw that you and
your wife wrote a book on marriage,
193
:Dan: We did.
194
:Stephanie: I would love to have
both of you back to talk about that,
195
:but from just reading the summary,
196
:it seems that perhaps you have experience
with it not always being beautiful,
197
:true, and good in your marriage.
198
:And so how would you just talk to
us a little bit maybe about your
199
:experience in marriage and what the
Lord has taught you through that?
200
:Dan: Yeah.
201
:So, we celebrated 31 years, uh, last week.
202
:Uh, the, I was not a follower of Christ
in the first two years of our marriage,
203
:so I did everything that a young
-year-old man in the:
204
:And I, um, did everything to sabotage
and to shipwreck, a marriage.
205
:But by the grace of God.
206
:My mom would take me to a church.
207
:I would go.
208
:My father didn't go at the time, he
was not a believer, but I knew that
209
:there was something there that was
compelling to me, drawing to me.
210
:So in the moment of crisis, when I was
about ready to lose my marriage quite
211
:frankly, I said, Jesus, if you are who
you say you are, would you save me?
212
:And I went all in with Christ.
213
:I was 25 years old at the time,
and, my wife was not yet a believer
214
:as well, so it was a little bit of
time for her to see, wait, you're
215
:living differently and I like it.
216
:You're engaging with me differently.
217
:And I like it.
218
:And slowly the Lord, used her like
her journey to come unto Christ.
219
:So yeah, we know what it's
like to live as unbelievers.
220
:Know what it's like to live in,
in lies and ugliness, and chaos.
221
:And what draws me back is God's
design, works because it's true.
222
:Stephanie: Mm-hmm.
223
:Dan: And I think that's where
Christians, as we engage with our
224
:neighbors, that we actually have , we
have the high ground on this.
225
:You can look at us, people can
look and say, well, it's weird.
226
:I don't get it.
227
:But when you see a family walking
with Jesus and the joy and the
228
:love and there's a jealousy for the
unbeliever to go I do want that.
229
:And I think that's why you
see so much anger too, right?
230
:Is because you have something I
want, but I don't know how to get it.
231
:Stephanie: Right.
232
:Dan: So, Yeah, we'd love
to talk about marriage.
233
:We wrote that book nearly 15 years ago,
uh, now, so probably needs we've got a
234
:little bit more maturity since then, but
235
:Stephanie: I would love that
because I think that's so
236
:often what the world will say.
237
:Right.
238
:Well.
239
:Actually, you're not doing it that well.
240
:Or we see the divorce rates, but the
more that we can learn what God's design
241
:really is for marriage, because I think
that there's a lot of deception even
242
:in the church, about what a biblical,
godly marriage looks like and, and how we
243
:embrace Christ and follow him, in that.
244
:So I would love to talk more about that.
245
:I'm also reminded, when we were at
the conference, you had shared a story
246
:about there were some film executives
that brought you in part of a focus
247
:group, I believe, to say, Hey, what
do you think of this new film idea?
248
:And it was about friendship.
249
:And you said, can I tell you about
a different friendship , because
250
:they had never really heard the
gospel explained in this way.
251
:So for those maybe that are listening
or for those that would like a fresh
252
:take on the gospel, would you share.
253
:That example that you shared with
them about what the gospel is?
254
:Dan: Yeah.
255
:The storyline was along the lines
of friends and, and one of the
256
:friends had, died in a tragedy.
257
:And the, the storyline, the story
arc was about how the two remaining
258
:friends dealt with loss and how they
made meaning out of the friendship.
259
:And they asked me, what do you,
what do you think of that story?
260
:And I'm like, well, it's not very, it's
kind of like, I've seen this before.
261
:It's not very creative.
262
:It's not very good.
263
:I said, but what about this?
264
:What if the story was about.
265
:Hope.
266
:What if the story was about Reunion?
267
:What if the story was about
recognizing the full extent of
268
:loss, lament, sorrow, pain, but yet
with hope at the end of a reunion?
269
:And they were like, really tell more.
270
:I said, well, that's
a Christian narrative.
271
:That's what our story is.
272
:Our story doesn't flatten or try to ignore
the real pain and the real sorrow and the
273
:suffering and the tragedy of this world.
274
:We are the only ones, I believe,
Christians, who can embrace it
275
:fully because we have the hope to
know that it's, it's not forever
276
:going to be this way, right?
277
:We have the promise of Christ who fully
took on suffering, sorrow, lament,
278
:Buried, and yet three
days later, rose again.
279
:To bring renewal, bring us into,
to him, to join us in him in union.
280
:And we have a, a grand reunion waiting
one day, , when we are rejoined with
281
:Christ and all those who die in him.
282
:And, uh, the woman was
like, well, wait a minute.
283
:Are you saying that pain and suffering?
284
:I actually said Christ took on our pain
and our suffering to fully embrace it.
285
:She's like, what I thought it
meant pain and suffering is
286
:that God's getting even with us.
287
:God's mad at us and he's getting even.
288
:I said, our God, fully embraced
it, took it into himself.
289
:He knew, who knew no sin became sin, that
we might be the righteousness of God.
290
:He took it upon himself so that
we could forever live in unity
291
:with him and with one another.
292
:And she said, wow, I just
never heard that story.
293
:I, well, that's the gospel story.
294
:Stephanie: Mm-hmm.
295
:Dan: So it just shows us like, while
there are people who are antagonistic
296
:to the Christian faith, many of them
are antagonistic to the Christian faith.
297
:'cause they don't know it,
they don't know its story.
298
:We've moved into, I would, I
don't use the, I post-Christian,
299
:but maybe re Pagan is a nation.
300
:Stephanie: Sure.
301
:Yes.
302
:I really, I so appreciate your perspective
and how beautifully you explain things.
303
:Because you have that gift, our
podcast is called Again and wanting
304
:moms to know that what they do
every day really matters to God.
305
:And in your work chapter, you talk
about our calling and you included
306
:a Martin Luther quote that, that he
argued that it's a false dichotomy
307
:between the sacred and the secular.
308
:And that really everything that we
do onto the Lord can be holy work.
309
:So would you talk a little bit
about that for the moms listening,
310
:thinking really are these sweeping
up cheerios and cleaning highchair
311
:straps and changing diapers?
312
:Is this really holy work that I'm doing?
313
:Dan: That, that may be the
most holy and significant work
314
:That we can, we can do.
315
:I mean, I think part of our, our
modern struggle is we, have not a
316
:great definition of work, right?
317
:So we have the things that we do in
our career that we're compensated for,
318
:and then we have the work that we're
called to do and the most most holy
319
:and significant work, called to do
320
:, is to do the work unto the Lord
and I think there is no more
321
:sacred work than family work, our
marriages and our children, right?
322
:That's the, the first calling
of work procreation, right?
323
:We're commanded, normatively
speaking, understand that, maybe
324
:some are here struggling with
fertility issues and, and such.
325
:But , the nurturing of family,
326
:The nurturing of children, is the
very first work that was given to us.
327
:So it is very sacred and important.
328
:And I think, I actually think we, uh,
there was a whole movement, right,
329
:that tried to, devalue work at home,
330
:For equality to go, we're
gonna work in the marketplace.
331
:Uh, that was actually an undermining
and a devaluing of the more sacred work.
332
:So done unto Christ.
333
:Everything that we do, like
I'm in that age where you start
334
:to think about, retirement.
335
:But for me,, I'm going to work because
when do I ever stop serving the Lord?
336
:When should I ever stop
serving my neighbor?
337
:I, there's no end on that.
338
:There can be a time when compensation
doesn't have to come from my labor,
339
:but that doesn't mean my labor ends.
340
:Stephanie: Sure.
341
:Absolutely.
342
:Thank you for that encouragement.
343
:What about for people listening
that are thinking, all right.
344
:Daniel, you do think differently.
345
:I know that's even your your website.
346
:Right?
347
:Think Christian.
348
:So if people are thinking,
you think differently.
349
:I've been in the church a long time, but
I just don't always see these examples of
350
:truth and beauty and goodness around me.
351
:What resources do you have
for individuals for the church
352
:that are wanting to learn more?
353
:Dan: Sure.
354
:Yeah.
355
:So, uh, some of the things that we do
is that our organization, the Center
356
:for Christian Thought and Ethics, uh,
what we'll do is one day thought Labs.
357
:So what we'll do is we'll come in
and we'll help, uh, take the morning
358
:and talk about this idea of moral
realism, the foundation of where do
359
:these moral foundations come from?
360
:How do we contrast that
with the world around us?
361
:And then what we do is
we give some frameworks.
362
:And then what we'll do is, uh, depending
on the context, we're in the church
363
:culture, and we'll give a survey and
ask the people what are the issues
364
:that are most pressing for you that
you just don't know how to talk about
365
:or you're confused to think about?
366
:And then we workshop them
together in the afternoon.
367
:So we'll take the moral foundation, the
framework, then we'll workshop them.
368
:So that's something that we do.
369
:That's getting more and more traction.
370
:Uh, we also do coaching with pastors,
pastors and staff, because a lot of times.
371
:These, complex moral issues.
372
:The pastor is the first line.
373
:He's the first one to hear about them.
374
:And with technology and culture moving
so fast, many times, the pastor doesn't
375
:have time to study research things.
376
:Even policies that are getting
pushed through state legislatures.
377
:So we will do that and then help coach
a pastor on how to talk about it in a
378
:way that builds receptivity with people.
379
:Uh, still holding the convictions, but
gives a theological explanation for
380
:why we hold the beliefs that we hold,
381
:Stephanie: That's phenomenal because
it, it does seem like there are
382
:these extremes where we're not gonna
talk about it because we don't wanna
383
:offend anyone, or we are just gonna
bring the hard truth from the pulpit.
384
:And if people are
offended, they're offended.
385
:I think it's fascinating to me, it
seems like we need to not wait for the
386
:crisis moments, the news, the headlines
to address certain things that a pastor
387
:in giving a biblical worldview would
be addressing these things regularly
388
:with the congregation so that when
the headlines come, we already have a
389
:strong foundation in our congregation
of exactly how we think about that.
390
:And it seems like.
391
:There are a few churches that,
that know how to embrace that.
392
:Dan: Yeah it's hard.
393
:A pastor has a really hard job.
394
:Again, studying for sermons,
being a cultural missionary,
395
:caring for people, all of it.
396
:I'm really empathetic in that.
397
:So we wanna come in and support and go,
well, let us help you so we can do some of
398
:that research for you and help you to, I
just had yesterday a, a pastor reach out
399
:and say, Hey, do you have a one page, a
one pager on this particular issue that
400
:I'll be meeting with a young couple on?
401
:I'm like, sure, here's a one
pager with the bullet points.
402
:Now here's the rest of the
research if you want it.
403
:But here's just like, we look at ourselves
at the center for Christian thought.
404
:We're like the recon Marines.
405
:We get out ahead of the issue,
survey it before the Army comes in.
406
:So we kind of get out
there, here's the issues.
407
:You need to think about
this, think about that.
408
:Here's how to talk about it and prepare
your people so when it shows up, your
409
:people already know how to think about it.
410
:Stephanie: That's fantastic.
411
:I would love to talk to
my pastor about this.
412
:I think it's phenomenal that you offer
it, and I'm looking at some of the
413
:topics that you can emphasize here.
414
:And I know I didn't plan to go
this direction, but I think even
415
:in parenting, I would love for you
to talk to the AI and how are you
416
:guiding believers to handle this.
417
:Dan: yeah.
418
:First, what we're, we're dealing
on, Christian anthropology.
419
:So what does it mean to be a human?
420
:We have to come back to that.
421
:And then what we're we're guiding
believers on is, okay, it's not
422
:going anywhere, so we're gonna
have to learn to work with it,
423
:but what, where is it permissible?
424
:What are the dangers?
425
:How are we, how are we using it?
426
:How are we disclosing when we use it?
427
:All of those things, we're.
428
:We're looking at, and then again,
as we, uh, as we really think about,
429
:like, are you just an awareness?
430
:People are using it, but I'm not
sure they're aware of the bias.
431
:I'm not sure they're aware of how it's
being trained or even in the fact that
432
:when you're using it, you're training
433
:Stephanie: Yes.
434
:Mm-hmm.
435
:Dan: um, we're working with pastors,
working with churches to start
436
:to consider this, uh, what You've
gotta have a vision for it and you
437
:have to have boundaries for it.
438
:And you have to talk about,
you have to talk about it.
439
:And even again, when I come back to the
geopolitical things, right, even how is
440
:AI and, the algorithms affecting some
of the cultural chaos that we have?
441
:Stephanie: Absolutely right.
442
:If you only see perspectives that
solidify your, your thinking, I,
443
:it's, I just think it's so dangerous.
444
:I'm surprised that there aren't more
people being more outspoken about
445
:it, because I do think, wow, this
culture war it's just becoming a
446
:very difficult battle , if we're only
seeing our perspective all the time.
447
:Dan: Yeah,, one of the other works shops
that we do is we do some work in dialogue.
448
:how do you engage with people
and you have, we have to engage
449
:with people we disagree with.
450
:Even now within the church.
451
:I did a, a, a training on Saturday
and I was talking more about engaging
452
:my neighbor and one of the young men
in the congregation said, my neighbor
453
:right now is in the pews with me.
454
:We disagree and we don't talk anymore,
so we're watching this fracture.
455
:Even within the church community
now, how can we be a community that
456
:confesses our sins one to another as
James tells us too, if we can't even
457
:talk about our, policy disagreements.
458
:So we we're giving some, some tools and
some skills on how to, to engage that.
459
:Stephanie: Sure.
460
:is there anything else that
was on your heart to share,
461
:particularly as you think about moms
462
:Dan: yeah , I have the highest
respect and regard and I'm, I, again,
463
:I'm watching my daughter-in-law,
raise our granddaughter and just.
464
:Back in baby mode again, just a
new appreciation, for the hard
465
:work that young parents have.
466
:Not everybody doesn't have this luxury,
but, uh, part of how the Lord is
467
:structured our work is that we try to
be accessible to our kids If you have
468
:grandparents, and I'm learning like,
what does it mean to be a grandparent?
469
:How do we do that?
470
:We have to.
471
:So, I don't know.
472
:I just wanna encourage young moms,
your work is the most important
473
:work and should be elevated
474
:Stephanie: Thank you so much.
475
:And thank you for your time.
476
:Thank you for how you encouraged
us today, but also just how you're
477
:equipping the church to thank Christian.
478
:And I know that you have a website
that would be helpful as well.
479
:And I really encourage listeners to
talk to your pastors about bringing
480
:some of these trainings in that
would equip your congregation, equip
481
:your pastor to engage with culture.
482
:And because we just, we do
want to present the goodness
483
:of the Lord to those around us.
484
:We'll be praying for your work.
485
:Dan: Thank you.
486
:Blessings to you.
487
:Okay.
488
:During this Lent season, are you
looking for a way to see Christ in
489
:all of scripture in the Dwelling Place
podcast for moms, we do just that.
490
:After Jesus rose from the dead, he walked
with his disciples through scripture
491
:showing that it pointed to him We are
delighting and looking at the word
492
:of God and seeing how true that is.
493
:I like the dwelling place in the
show notes so you can prepare
494
:your heart for Easter, perhaps in
a way you've never done before.
