30: Advent with Jen Pollock Michel: Follow the Food

We’re busy and yet we want to connect with God. Listen in to these four weeks of short conversations that you can listen to in the midst of your real life with Ashley Hales and Jen Pollock Michel. We talk about the reality of December with busy schedules and messy pine needles and how to meet God in the real instead of the ideal.

Meals were so special that the whole story of Jesus can be told in a meal. This brings us back to the why. @jenpmichel @aahales #findingholypodcast

We deny the pleasures of eating. Hospitality portends something different. Listen in to @aahales and @jenpmichel on #findingholypodcast

There is both an asceticism and a pleasure or indulgence to the story of God. @aahales and @jenpmichel on #findingholypodcast

The food imagery in the Bible is no accident. @jenpmichel and @aahales on #findingholypodcast
