| 0:00.0 | Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a five-day-a-week variety show that mixes encouragement, |
| 0:05.9 | the Bible, practical how-toes, and fantastic guests for the listener on the go. I'm Lisa Whittle, |
| 0:11.0 | and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent. |
| 0:16.0 | On the surface, today's guest, Christy Purafoy and myself are quite different. She has a PhD. I'm a seminary dropout. |

| 1:26.0 | absolutely. Making and tending good and beautiful places is not a dishonorable retreat from our troubled world. |
| 1:35.3 | It is a holy pursuit. |
| 1:37.3 | Our maker has made a home for us, sheltered by trees, bounded by rivers, |
| 1:43.3 | and illuminated by both stars and the white blooming flowers of evening. |
| 1:48.0 | Yet we were never meant merely to consume the gifts of creation. |
| 1:53.0 | We were made to collaborate. We were made to participate. |
