Finding the Way of Love in a World of Hurt w/Grammy-Award Winner Charlie Peacock & Andi Ashworth
When we're feeling weary, our temptation is often to run away from the very things that heal - authenticity, community, sacred daily rhythms, and most of all, Christ. We can even allow our creative outlets to be another way of escapism, or move so fast into the "post-human" world of bots and "ten easy steps" that we miss relating and sharing Christ's love. Today we get to talk about this human tendency and about finding our truest mission - and solace - in real community and giving as Christ shows us how to do. We get to talk about all of this and more with the incredibly talented and world-renowned couple, husband and wife duo and four-time-Grammy Winner and musician and producer Charlie Peacock and gifted award-winning writer Andi Ashworth together as they discuss their new beautiful book, "Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much: The Way of Love in a World of Hurt" as they teach us lessons they've gleaned across five seasons of marriage from Carnegie Hall to the jitcken, and so much more!
