This paid message is from the Russell Moore Show. Here at the Russell Moore Show, we make space for the deeper questions of faith, the ones that don't always have answers. That's why we want to share a podcast we think many of you will appreciate, called With and Four, hosted by Dr. Pam King. Back for a brand new season, With and Four brings together psychology and spiritual wisdom

in a way that's thoughtful, grounded, and deeply human.

Each episode features thoughtful conversations

with trusted voices like Kristen Neff on self-compassion

and Parker Palmer on spiritual struggle and vocation among many others.

Follow with and four hosted by Dr. Pam King, wherever you're listening now.
