More from Life with God: A Renovaré Podcast
In a new audio meditation, Nathan Foster places David's longing to “dwell in God's house all the days of my life” (Psalm 27) alongside Jesus’ invitation to live in God's kingdom here and now. To be with God and under his rule is something to seek with our whole being, ahead of all else.
On Life with God, Nathan and Vivianne Foster sit down together to reflect on the summer episodes of the podcast, taking time to notice and savor the impressions those conversations left on the two of them.
Nathan talks with pastor and poet Joshua Luke Smith about practicing presence and contentment in the “leftovers” of your life, because the hard parts are holy ground.
Nathan talks with Jon Bailey, Renovaré Ministry Team member and new author of the book Dwelling in Christ (first book in this season's Renovaré Book Club). The two discuss how Jon came to experience and write about the never-ending journey of transformation in Christ.
Nate speaks with retired psychiatrist Dr. Hilary Johnson about how the indivisibility of body, mind, and spirit means that wellness is, at some level, always a spiritual endeavor—empowered by God in and through loving relationships.
