Pain doesn’t require intention to be experienced, but for goodness to be enjoyed often does. So how do we learn to enjoy more of life when so much of our experience is un-enjoyable?
So good. Needed this today, as the grind of writing another sermon instead of being home with my kids feels like a raincloud. You're helping me see how it's a gift to be in God's word, to teach it to others, and to provide my family the life they have because of this part of ministry. Thanks Ryan!
You have a spiritual director pastoral writing style that feels like real life. Love the mindfulness angle which is how so many of us stay sane these troubling days. Very unlike that might be heard in church. 🤣🙌🏽

Of course! So glad it was encouraging!
This was great. Found your alchemy analogy to be really helpful in framing the value of being more intentional with daily pleasures.
Hey Ben! I’m glad to hear that resonated! Thanks for reading and reaching out!
Love this! 🩷
Oh good! I’m so glad. Thanks for telling me, Blanca!

Well, this is about the perfect compliment. This is the exact tone I’m after. Thanks for taking the time to encourage me.
