The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode.

Hey everybody, welcome to the call to mastery, I'm Jordan Rayner.

This is a podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work

for the glory of God and the good of others.

Each week, I host a conversation with a Christ follower who's pursuing

world-class mastery of their craft. We talk about their path to mastery, their

daily habits and routines, and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ influences

their work.

Guys, I might have a new favorite episode of the Call to Mastery. I know shocking. I get it. I hear you all laughing.

Today's guest is my friend Dr. Benjamin Long. He's a board certified pediatrician and a sleep medicine fellow with the United

States Air Force. What I love about Ben is he's thought incredibly deeply about what God's word has to say about sleep.

Dr. Long and I recently said down and we talked about the one shockingly simple thing you can do today to drastically improve your sleep.

We talked about what scientists are beginning to learn about the correlation between faith and sleep quality.

It's a fascinating conversation about that.

And we talked about how, you know, for those of us that already do get good sleep,

how do we can think

sacrifices about sleep and help our neighbors, especially the most

marginalized in our communities, get better sleep? And guys, forgive us for Dr. Longanize sidetrack

rants about our love of Parks and Rec and Pitch Perfect

too.
