Yes, But Not Like That

Episodes

1. All Creation Waits With Bated Breath

   Imagine actually believing it. That God made the world and called it good. That it’s really true that even the rocks cry out to declare His glory. That we might actually dwell within a reality created by Someone who cares enough to know when a single sparrow falls. Are you with me? Very good....

2. Why I Am (Still) a Christian

   A few months ago, I had the absolute delight of hugging my kids goodnight after dinner and driving over to a friend’s house to hang out after their kids were asleep. It had been too long since I’d last seen them, which means I definitely rambled incoherently way too much. But in my defense, my...

3. Fortunately, Unfortunately

   I wrote this many months before the (currently as of the writing of this disclaimer) 2024 US election as I grappled with anxiety over how it was going to turn out. There was a Chinese Folk story I used to read to my kids when they were very wee, about a sweet old man who lived out in the country...

4. You Must Not Suffer Unnecessarily

   Sometimes, I think it must be so nice (in a way) to have a political team of choice. To be decidedly red or blue. (Just American politics things 💁🏻‍♀️✨) To be able to naturally gravitate towards communities and friendships where people are like-minded seems so cozy. Rejoicing together in...

5. The Who-We-Are-In-Christ Episode

   Hey, hey! Apparently, I’m still learning how to use Substack. I did not even realize there’s a podcast tab that’s for uploading podcasts until this very moment. Don’t ask me how I uploaded the other ones. Some things are none of my business, and apparently that includes whatever my history is…

6. On How to be Rooted

   Who belongs anywhere anymore? Who has roots? I was on my knees in the shallow end of my city’s most popular pool this weekend, cheering my youngest on as she practiced getting comfortable with swimming yet again. My best friend was laughing with me over how it seems that as parents we stress and...

7. The Thanksgiving Episode

   Hello everyone! I hope your holiday plans are running smoothly! We made you a podcast to listen to while you get ready for Thanksgiving dinner. A note - if it sounds like we are responding weirdly fast to each other now and then, it’s because we had some seasonal allergies (so festive 😂), and I...

8. The Kintsugi Episode

   Our podcast follows a loose structure where we use the five senses as a jumping off point to talk about the tangible world and God’s heart for us. We also share what we have been reading lately, and a bit of Scripture 💜. In this episode, we talked about: >> the sadness inherent in being human >>...

9. The End of Summer Episode

   We go through the 5 senses, as always - bringing you some silly stories about wildlife and childhood pets (hearing), descriptions of where we see God in our surroundings (sight), an easy recipe for cloud pancakes (taste), a lil haiku from Julia (smell/nostalgia) that you DONT want to miss, and an...

10. Touch Grass Sassafras

    Hey there, friends! Welcome to the relaunch of my lil podcast. I pulled the ones we had recorded before because sometimes creativity is an iterative process. I knew I had a lot to share, but it didn’t have a structure to exist in. This has been remedied. I realized I have a hard time, typically,...
