332 - Alexandra Kuykendall ”Where is the good with all this bad?”

On todays episode, Alan  talks with Author. Speaker. Kitchen Anthropologist, Alexandra Kuykendall about seeking out goodness amidst a world looking for what's wrong. She gives us very practical ways to find the good and true in others, ourselves and the organizations around us when we are temped to believe it's all bad. This is a timely episode! About Alexandra I like to say I’m a “kitchen anthropologist”. I stand in my kitchen and try to make sense of the world around me. From my family life to the news headlines I’m looking for where the good news of God’s grace and the reality of life here on earth intersect. How do I then offer a holy whisper with my actual life? I’m a city girl living in Denver with my husband Derek and our four daughters. Derek leads Providence Network, a transitional housing ministry to those coming out of homelessness. Whether on the soccer sidelines, at an event where I’m speaking, or walking to the neighborhood market, my hope is love God and love others in word and deed. I’m a stumbler in this effort, so I try to fall in the direction of grace. I am also an author. My books include The Artist’s Daughter: A Memoir, Loving My Actual Life: An Experiment in Relishing What’s Right in Front of Me, Loving My Actual Christmas: An Experiment in Relishing the Season, and Loving My Actual Neighbor: 7 Practices to Treasure the People Right in Front of You. I co-host The Open Door Sisterhood Podcast and mastermind retreat with my friend Krista Gilbert. I’d love to have you join us over there for continued conversations.
