The Pilgrim Soul

Adrianna and Giuliana discuss suffering. We start by talking a bit about theology: If God loves us, why do we suffer? Then, we get more personal: How have we found freedom in suffering? Who has inspired us to live suffering well? What steps are we trying to take in our own experiences of suffering? / Our weekly challenge is to commemorate 3PM on Friday — the time Jesus died. And our media recommendation is the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck. // We’d love to hear from you!

Sofia and Adrianna talk about hospitality. How can we learn to welcome others? What elements of our economy and culture are hostile to hospitality? And what do love, sacrifice, and heaven have to do with it? // Our weekly challenge is to make a home-cooked meal and share it with someone.

Giuliana and Sofia have a conversation about work: Is it possible to live your work as a gift instead of a burden? How can work become a place of encounter? What steps can we take to transform the way we approach our work? // Our weekly challenge is to add a visual reminder of God (like a holy card or scripture verse) to your workspace.
