Before an episode makes it to your inbox, I’ve lived it, edited it, and usually re-listened to the entire thing. And while I can’t tell you honestly that post-production is my favorite thing, I can say that re-listening to these stories always blesses me.
I remember why I asked the guest in the first place.
I remember why their story is so compelling.
I remember that God is at work in each of us uniquely, tenderly, and purposefully.
Today’s story is from
. She’s a baker, author, and generally wise human being. Her latest book Bake & Pray: Liturgies & Recipes for Baking Bread as a Spiritual Practice blends the practice of baking bread with prayer, a truly embodied process and one that she explains in the episode.
If you’re wondering how someone builds a career studying food and the way we eat around the table, Kendall will tell you it started with curiosity that God nurtured into calling. Her story and her resources are not only timely for the Advent season, but also a restful gift in the midst of hustle. I hope you’ll take a deep breath as you listen & share with a friend…maybe share with a friend over dinner together.
Here are a few more ways to connect with Kendall and the work she’s doing: Edible Theology, Instagram, Kendall’s Website.
It’s been a whole year since I relaunched We Have This Hope over on Substack and I have found this to be such a welcoming and wonderful place for my work to live. I'm going to take a little break for the holiday season so I can be present with my people AND so I can pray and dream about what is coming in 2025.
If you subscribe, if you comment, if you reply to the emails, if you mention it to me in passing, thank you! All those touch points add up to something I hold dearly in my heart and mind: the fact that God is using this in small and beautiful ways. Here’s to much more in 2025!
“May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.” Psalm 90:17, NIV
