Catherine McNiel: Fearing Bravely
Monday Mar 07, 2022
Monday Mar 07, 2022
"Overcoming evil with good and with love — I can’t think of anything more active and intentional and subversive." — Catherine McNiel
Join us for this conversation with writer and theology student Catherine McNiel as we discuss the call to love our neighbor, what that call looks like in the world of academia, and the grace we need to get there.
Let me invite you into a conversation with Catherine McNiel — writer, theology student, and second time guest on the podcast. Catherine has just released a new book entitled Fearing Bravely: Risking Love for Our Neighbors, Strangers, and Enemies. In our conversation, we talk about Jesus’s call to love our enemies and the implications of this call on our lives today. We dig deep into the parable of the Good Samaritan and sift through issues of individual and systemic responsibility, and talk about the unique ways we can practice this element of faith in university and professional settings. The thing I love best about Catherine’s book and about our conversation is the way Catherine approaches this skill of loving others through a lens of spiritual formation, weaving it all together with practical exercises that enfold us in a place of spiritual safety. Catherine pastors her readers and listeners through this journey with great care, and at the very end, she even offers some fresh thoughts on loving others in relationship to Russia’s war on Ukraine, a world event that began just days before we recorded this episode.
So have a listen! We're so glad you're here.

Tuesday Feb 22, 2022

What spiritual practices can help develop your resilience in challenging situations? Join us for this conversation with Enneagram teacher Suzanne Stabile as we discuss our individual responses to stress, the benefits of self-understanding, and the opportunities for growth that can be found all around us.
Let me invite you into a conversation with Suzanne Stabile, a spiritual teacher and author. Suzanne’s expertise is found in the study of the Enneagram, an ancient personality typing system identifying nine personality types that are expressed individually and in relationship to others. In our conversation, we talk together about liminal space and the pandemic and opportunities for personal spiritual growth. Suzanne shares a bit about the Enneagram and offers some resources for those who would like to learn more (including information about her most recent book, The Journey Toward Wholeness), but mostly we shaped our conversation in way that includes everyone, no matter if you are brand new to the Enneagram or a seasoned student.

Tish Harrison Warren: Little Prayers for Ordinary Days
Monday Feb 07, 2022
Monday Feb 07, 2022
"This moment is the moment of our formation. This is the moment that is shaping who we are." — Tish Harrison Warren
Where is the Spirit of God active in your life? Join us for this conversation with Anglican priest and author Tish Harrison Warren as we discuss pandemic life, spiritual redemption, and God’s constant presence.
Let me invite you into a conversation with Anglican priest and author Tish Harrison Warren. Tish is a former colleague of ours at The Well and one of our favorite people to talk with. She has written two award-winning books, and now has co-authored a new book that is coming out in a few months — this one for children. The title is Little Prayers for Ordinary Days, and it’s a collection of everyday prayers, geared for kids but also truly relevant for adults in many ways — and it’s really delightful. In this podcast, Tish and I talk about pandemic life and spiritual redemption and God’s constant presence and Tish shares some beautiful encouragement for listeners of our podcast. It’s a lovely and rich conversation, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.
Limited time offer from InterVarsity Press: enjoy this code for 30% off any or all of Tish’s books — even the one that isn’t out quite yet — when you buy them at ivpress.com by February 23, 2022. Just use the code: WELL22

Kendall Vanderslice: Edible Theology
Tuesday Jan 25, 2022
Tuesday Jan 25, 2022
"We are all created with a need for community, for intimacy, and for companionship." — Kendall Vanderslice
How can the simple act of eating together draw us more fully into relationship with God and community? Join us for this conversation with baker and writer Kendall Vanderslice as we discuss table fellowship, vocational discernment, and the joy of food.
Let me invite you into a conversation with Kendall Vanderslice — baker, writer, and public theologian. I first became aware of Kendall when I read of a bread-baking workshop in which she teaches participants to bake as a form of prayer. Workshops like these are one of the offerings from Edible Theology, an educational ministry founded by Kendall that connects the Communion table to tables we eat at every day. As I’ve explored Kendall’s work — including her new podcast, Kitchen Meditations, and her book about the dinner church movement — I’ve been challenged to think more deeply about the spiritual implications of eating and sharing good food — an activity that is near and dear to my heart. In our conversation, Kendall and I talk about life in academia, the gift of community, her thoughts on living life wholeheartedly as a single person — and yes, we get into a few recipes as well. So have a listen! We're so glad you're here.

Dr. Vinoth Ramachandra: Sarah’s Laughter
Tuesday Jan 11, 2022
Tuesday Jan 11, 2022
“I don’t know how any intelligent woman can stay in a church where her gifts are not recognized and utilized."
— Dr. Vinoth Ramachandra
Listen in on an exclusive peek into our fall book club as Women in the Academy and Professions associate Jasmine Obeyesekere conducts an online discussion with author and theologian Dr. Vinoth Ramachandra where they discuss suffering, hope, and the Christian life.
hope look like?
Dr. Vinoth Ramachandra invites us to be honest with the pain we experience, both personally and in our world. He shows us that walking with God includes the apparent paradox of lamenting, questioning, and living with uncertainty alongside our joy, faith, and assurance. He shows us how suffering is at the heart of God and fleshes out the nature of Christian hope. I’m especially encouraged by the idea of “hope as struggle” as we long for and work towards God’s future amid the brokenness in our world.
Dr. Ramachandra is a lay theologian, writer, teacher, and human rights advocate born and based in Sri Lanka. His multi-faceted, international ministry spanning over forty years includes promoting among students and faculty a holistic, dialogical engagement with the world of the university; and helping Christian graduates act with Christian integrity in the face of the social, cultural, and political challenges they face in their national contexts throughout the world.
You can find Vinoth’s theological engagement with global current affairs at his blog.

Katharine Hayhoe: A Climate Scientist on Hope and Healing
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Monday Dec 13, 2021
What is the one thing each of us can do to address global climate change? Join us for this conversation with climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe in which we discuss science and faith, her journey of discerning God's call on her life, and the simple step each of us can take to effect change in our world.
"I truly believe that a failure to act on climate change is a failure to love." — Katharine Hayhoe
Let me invite you into a conversation with climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, author of the book Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World. I’ve been a fan of Katharine’s ever since we published a couple of interviews with her in 2016 and I’ve always been so inspired by the way she has pursued her calling in climate science. The book was life-changing for me. Katharine’s message is so empowering around the issue of climate change, offering encouragement and practical ideas without any guilt. But even more significant was seeing Katharine as an example of a person who is truly willing to reach across differences to bring about change. In our conversation, you’ll hear us discuss these bigger issues of calling and integration and respect for others — and you’ll also hear Katherine’s genius trick for grocery shopping that helps her to save time, waste less food, and create more delicious meals. I love the way Katharine connects big-picture questions with small, meaningful changes we can make in life. And — bonus! — we get to hear about Katharine's wonderful experience with the graduate student fellowship at University of Illinois. So have a listen! We're so glad you're here.

Felicia Wu Song: Restless Devices
Monday Nov 29, 2021
Monday Nov 29, 2021
How do digital devices affect our journeys of spiritual formation — and what can we do about that? Join us for this conversation with writer and professor Felicia Wu Song as we discuss digital habits and the grace of establishing soul-shaping practices.
"Part of my own journey is wanting to become a different kind of person who can be present to the people in my life." — Felicia Song
Let me invite you into a conversation with professor and cultural sociologist Felicia Wu Song, in which we talk about her recent book Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age. Reading this book felt like a real spiritual journey for me with Felicia serving as a gentle guide. She describes the challenges that come with our compulsive use of digital devices, and then leads the reader into spiritual practices that help temper some of the harmful effects and reorient our focus back to connectedness with God and one another. It’s a beautiful and courageous and kind book, especially around a topic that could be filled with shoulds and oughts — and Felicia and I talk about why she decided NOT to offer a lot of hard and fast rules about managing digital devices. I loved talking with Felicia and I think you’ll enjoy our conversation too. So have a listen! We're so glad you're here.

Kaitlyn Schiess: The Liturgy of Politics
Monday Nov 15, 2021
Monday Nov 15, 2021
Join us for this conversation with writer Kaitlyn Schiess as we discuss her journeys around political thought, spiritual formation, and life as a graduate student in new place.
"How can I recognize the inherent goodness of contemplating God shaping me now?" — Kaitlyn Schiess
I’ve been a fan of Kaitlyn Schiess for a while now. Her book, The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor (IVP 2020), has some very helpful things to say about how and why God’s Spirit is at work in us and — surprise! — it isn’t primarily for our own benefit. I have appreciated Kaitlyn’s voice in the conversations at The Holy Post, a podcast she frequents as a commentator and, recently, as an interviewer. I am so encouraged to find a young sharp woman at the center of important conversations these days speaking candidly and thoughtfully about what it looks like to love God, his Word, and his world. And I look forward to the ways she will provide leadership in the Church and in our communities in the days ahead. May God increase her tribe! So, it was a treat for me to interview Kaitlyn and as others have said, I look forward to seeing where God will call her in the future.

Alice Fryling: Aging Faithfully
Monday Nov 01, 2021
Monday Nov 01, 2021
What does it look like to experience spiritual transformation through aging? Join us for this conversation with writer and spiritual director Alice Fryling as we discuss how we can position ourselves for spiritual growth at every age.
"I have an assumption that we wouldn't grow old if this wasn't part of God's plan." — Alice Fryling
Let me invite you into a conversation with Alice Fryling, spiritual director and author of Aging Faithfully: The Holy Invitation of Growing Older. Alice is not only a prolific author and gifted teacher — she also happens to be truly one of my favorite people on earth. I met Alice in 1998 when I started seeing her for spiritual direction — a practice that continued for over two decades until Alice moved to Colorado. I remember noticing some of the early inclinations that Alice had toward writing a book on the spirituality of aging, and so I was thrilled to learn that the book was getting published — and then even more thrilled to talk with Alice about so many of these rich ideas — most of which are widely applicable for anyone seeking to live a faithful life, even if you’re not quite yet in your senior years.
This conversation felt a lot more like sitting around the fire with an old friend than hosting a podcast interview — in fact, you’ll hear that Alice and I keep talking about questions I have for her, but I never really get a chance to formally ask them because they just come up naturally. You’ll hear — we had a lot of fun together. So have a listen! We're so glad you're here.

Terumi Echols: Leading InterVarsity Press
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Join us for this conversation with Terumi Echols, newly-appointed president and publisher of InterVarsity Press, as we discuss her career path, her family life, and her vision for the future of IVP.
"The church needs to hear from women in every aspect of life." — Terumi Echols
Let me invite you into a conversation with Terumi Echols, the newly appointed publisher of InterVarsity Press. We at The Well have a special fondness InterVarsity Press and the books they publish, many of which have been featured on this podcast and so I was especially delighted to talk with Terumi. In our conversation, you’ll hear Terumi’s thoughts as she is poised to take InterVarsity Press into a new season of leadership, and you’ll also hear about her significant professional accomplishments — many of which she managed while raising a family. Hot tip: listen for Terumi’s story about the strategy she had for balancing a full-time job while homeschooling one of her children who needed a little extra help in school. It’s quite a story, and I think you’ll really enjoy getting to know Terumi. So have a listen! We're so glad you're here.

Monday Oct 04, 2021
Join us for a joyful and heartfelt conversation with Dr. Denise-Margaret Thompson, director of InterVarsity's Black Scholars and Professionals.
"How do you want us to speak peace and healing and reconciliation in this country at this moment?" — Dr. Denise-Margaret Thompson
Let me invite you into a conversation with Denise-Margaret Thompson, the newly appointed director of InterVarsity’s Black Scholars and Professionals. Denise is a delightful conversation partner, full of colorful stories about her upbringing in the Caribbean, her extensive experience in academia, and her personal journey of raising a family while building career. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t easy, but she did it! We talk about the work of Black Scholars and Professionals and the way this ministry is shaping itself to respond to the challenges of today. But the thing I like most through this entire conversation is the joyful way Denise walks through life as well as the spiritual depth she brings to the most complex situations. I think you’ll really enjoy getting to know Denise. So have a listen! We're so glad you're here.

Power Women: Stories of Motherhood, Faith, and the Academy
Monday Sep 27, 2021
Monday Sep 27, 2021
How do Christian women navigate the call to both the academy and motherhood? Listen in on this panel discussion with the authors of Power Women.
“At the end of my day, I think about, ‘What are some wins that I had today?’ That helps me to retrain my mind to think about all the ways I am winning rather than the few ways I messed up.” — Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil
This podcast features a panel discussion that was recorded back in July with four Christian women professors who have contributed to the book Power Women: Stories of Motherhood, Faith, and the Academy.
In this discussion, host Karen Hice Guzmàn directs the conversation into all the topics you would hope for in an event like this: misconceptions about motherhood in the academy and the church, navigating gender roles in parenting, the work of resisting imposter syndrome — so many of the struggles that, for women, seem to accompany a dual call into the university and parenthood. But the thing that I liked especially was the sense of community they brought to the conversation. These women have not only collaborated on a project together of writing and editing this book — they have also supported one another along the way, and this has reinforced their hope that the book itself will birth new communities of academic women who can talk honestly with one another and forge new networks of support.
We love this idea! And we think you would enjoy reading this book and discussing it with others. In fact, we would love to invite you into a book club featuring Power Women that we are hosting at The Well later this fall on November 1, 8, and 15 — you can find details here. We hope you can join us!

Rob Dixon: Together in Ministry
Tuesday Sep 21, 2021
Tuesday Sep 21, 2021
How can women and men flourish in their working relationships? Join our conversation with Rob Dixon about his forthcoming book on mixed gender ministry partnerships.
"For centuries, the church has been trying to fulfill the Great Commission with half of the team largely relegated to the bench. Let's try something different." — Dr. Rob Dixon
Let me invite you into a conversation I had with Dr. Rob Dixon, author of the forthcoming book Together in Ministry: Women and Men in Flourishing Partnerships. Rob's book puts forth a bold vision for mixed gender ministry partnerships that I found deeply moving. Through his research, Rob uncovers a comprehensive model for flourishing partnerships that inspires action. I’m still wrestling with it, honestly, and wondering how to create space for more flourishing in the partnerships in my own church community and work space. It’s just the kind of good work that a book can do in a person and I’m so glad that Rob is sharing this book — and this vision — with the world. So have a listen! We’re so glad you’re here.

Jennie McLaurin and Bem Culiat: Designed to Heal
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Can we learn to repair relationships by observing God's design for healing in our bodies? Join our conversation with Dr. Jennie McLaurin and Dr. Bem Culiat as we explore this topic and their new book.
"I would love for us to be a people who promoted healing with justice, healing with hope, healing with love and inclusion." — Dr. Jennie McLaurin
Let me invite you into a conversation I had with Dr. Jennie McLaurin and Dr. Bem Culiat, two women in science who have written a book together entitled Designed to Heal. This book is a fascinating exploration of the human body’s framework for healing — delving deeply into the science of healing on a cellular level — and envisioning how this healing process can offer lessons for the healing needed in relationships, community, and society. This book showcases each of the author’s expertise in medicine and science, weaves it together with very personal stories of healing in their own lives, and and then fuses this all together with spiritual wisdom and understanding. I love the way that Jennie and Bem are working hard to integrate science into their faith language, and I love their vision for the possibility of real healing in our society. The book itself is very inspiring, and this conversation was rich and joyful. I think you’re going to enjoy getting to know these two friends. You can read their bios below to get a sense of their background. So have a listen! We’re so glad you’re here.

Archive Dive: Carrie Bare on All Shall Be Well
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
This summer, we're showcasing a few favorite podcasts from our archives. Listen in on this conversation with Carrie Bare from October 2020.
“Love is going to win and evil is not. We just have to hang on to that.” — Carrie Bare
I suspect that many of you, like me, have been feeling a measure of despair with the news lately. Between troublesome pandemic developments and climate change and the situation in Afghanistan, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed — and that’s not even taking into account the struggles of regular, everyday life. Last fall, life held a similar profile of emotions, and in that context, I interviewed spiritual director Carrie Bare, an InterVarsity staff veteran and all-around wise woman. Carrie has this delightful ability to empathize deeply while simultaneously pointing us to the real and living work God is doing in the midst of bleak circumstances. It is just the kind of thing I needed to hear, and I think you’ll appreciate it too.
Carrie Bare has been with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since 1975 and currently serves as Associate Director for Spiritual Formation of Faculty. She is married to Randy and is mother to two grown sons. This conversation with Carrie was originally published on October 27, 2020. So have a listen! We’re so glad you’re here with us.

Archive Dive: Luci Shaw on All Shall Be Well
Monday Aug 09, 2021
Monday Aug 09, 2021
This summer, we're showcasing a few favorite podcasts from our archives. Listen in on this conversation with Luci Shaw from July 2019.
"There is always something new ahead." — Luci Shaw
Today, let’s listen in on a conversation with poet and writer Luci Shaw. This interview originally aired in July 2019, and it’s one of my very favorites, full of the wisdom and perspective that comes with Luci’s 90-plus years of living. She brings such a generous spirit to the conversation, from her stories about her friendship with Madeleine L’Engle to the encouragement she offers to aspiring writers, to the abundance of freshly-written poems she shares with us. For the past couple of years, I’ve hung on to her advice to keep journal notes when life gets too busy for more formal writing. Luci says at one point, “I don’t think anything is ever lost” — and that’s been such a comfort to me when I feel like time is slipping through my fingers. This interview is such a delight and an inspiration. So have a listen! We’re so glad you’re here with us.
