Summary

Today I'm talking with my new friend Jason Woodruff from The Pour Over! The Pour Over is a three-times-a-week newsletter that delivers the biggest headlines in clear, concise language — but with a twist: every story is paired with Scripture and a reminder of eternal hope. Founded by Jason Woodruff, its goal is to keep Christians informed without leaving them angry, anxious, or overwhelmed. It’s politically neutral, Christ-first, and designed to help readers see the news through a gospel lens — so we’re shaped by truth and hope rather than fear and outrage. I quickly discovered that Jason and I are kindred spirits. We talk about navigating the 24/7 news cycle and how to prioritize our discipleship to Jesus over being formed by the news. This is how you can take back control of your life will still staying informed. . . . . . Learn more about The Pour Over here! https://thepourover.org/ . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life?
