Hey everybody, the third annual Wayfair Summer Festival is coming up on July 11th, and you are not

going to want to miss this. We're bringing in some amazing speakers like Thomas McConkey,

Christine Hogland, and Catherine Sontag to talk about spiritual attention in the age of AI, the history

and future of Mormon utopianism, and what a Latter-day Saint cultural Renaissance might look like.

Plus, just lots of amazing time to connect with friends, old and new, and we've got catered lunches, poetry readings,

musical performances, breakout sessions, and art gallery, and everything taking place in the

gorgeous Heber Valley. Space for this is extremely limited so you won't want to delay. You can

get tickets at Wayfairmagine.org or look for the

link in the show notes. Hey everybody, this is Aubrey Chavez from Faith Matters. They call him the

Mr. Rogers of farming, and I think you'll understand why. Carl Ebeling spent 33 years as a chemical

engineer before feeling an undeniable pull back to the land and to a childhood love of

farming that had never really left him. He combined his love of the earth with a desire to help

and heal and founded Eden Streets in 2020, which is a community farming initiative that helps

individuals relaunch their lives and cultivate community through farming. Carl has watched firsthand

as the earth does her healing

work in the souls of women and men experiencing homelessness, addiction, or disconnection.

Today he joins us to talk about the gifts of creation and what it might look like to, in Elder

Kase's words, grow, enhance, and improve upon them, and what that kind of stewardship does for our own souls.

I was so moved by Carl's grounded wisdom, his reverence for the earth,

and by the lessons that he's learning from the natural world about rhythms, relationships,

belonging, and peace.

With planting season upon us, we hope that this conversation inspires you to step outside,
