Summary

We have such a special show for you today! I got to talk with one of my heroes, Richard Foster, and his friend and fellow pastor Brenda Quinn. Richard's new book Learning Humility uses the Lakota calendar as a framework for this study on the virtue of humility. IT'S FASCINATING! What an inspiring conversation about slowing down enough to be available to God, coming to God as who you already are, and one of our favorite topics - prayer. Due to some technological challenges, this episode's audio isn’t typical TSF quality. We’re sorry about that, but we still wanted to bring you this great conversation! . . . .

0:38.6	incredible sponsors, BetterHelp. I don't know about you, but sometimes it's easier for me to focus
0:43.2	on what's going wrong and the problems I'm facing rather than focusing on solving the problems.
0:47.6	I think it's part of human nature, but we can probably agree that it's not the most constructive
0:51.6	approach. I mean, the only way out is through, right? If you find yourself needing a nudge toward
0:56.1	the problem-solving perspective, you're looking for a therapist can definitely help provide that.
1:00.8	And BetterHelp is a great option if you're looking to connect with a therapist. See whether the
1:05.3	challenges you face are stress-related or relational in nature. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety
1:10.0	or things from your past are holding you back. A therapist can help you walk through the process of
1:14.4	healing. I am so, so grateful for the support and perspective my counselor has provided over the
1:19.4	years. BetterHelp will match you with a licensed professional counselor after you fought a brief
1:23.7	survey. We love a quiz. They want you to have a great match. So they make it easy to switch therapist
1:28.7	if you need to. It's convenient, accessible, affordable, and entirely online. When you want to be a
1:33.4	better problem-solver therapy can get you there, you guys. So visit BetterHelp.com slash that sounds
