Summary

This is our unabridged interview with Naomi Shihab Nye. What do scientists and poets both agree on? On this show, we often host guests whose work is in scientific or concrete fields, such as psychology or sociology, which rely on experiments and research to come to helpful conclusions. But such conversations sometimes fall short of the wonder and beauty we experience in everyday life, and for such subjects, we turn to the poets. In this episode, award-winning poet Naomi Shihab Nye corroborates what researchers have confirmed—the benefits of paying attention. She shares abundant wisdom for living a good life through the lens of poetry. Her work has a quality that the best poetry has, that of paying rapt attention to small moments, making meaning and hope out of everyday wonders.

0:28.4

Savannah brings a pop culture moment, celebrity drama, internet debates for our shows,

and together we ask a deeper question. Why does any of this actually matter? What is it reveal about our

0:39.1

culture, our theology, and the lives that we are living online and in the public square?

0:44.5

And how might we, as Christians, enjoy the world in ways that reflect truth, beauty, and goodness?

0:50.5

It's a conversation between someone who lives very much on the internet and someone who lives a lot off of it,

0:57.0

and that tension makes for surprisingly meaningful dialogue.
