Weight of Fatherhood 2.2: Christine Cohen Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

Here in season 2, Dr. Phillips is focusing on ways of being better dads to our daughters and husbands to our wives, and here in episode two he is joined by author Christine Cohen, author of The Winter King, to discuss the power of stories to inspire and instruct us in that effort.

Christine Cohen was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. She spent most of her formative years roaming evergreen forests with her sister and a stalwart yellow lab, feeding her love of adventure a steady diet of stick forts and slingshots. Now she lives with her husband and three kids in a delightfully rural college town. When she's not writing, she pursues other creative outlets like baking sweet things and eating more than her share. The Winter King is her first novel.

Show notes

Join Emily, Renee, and Karen as they discuss mankind's place in the created world. Why do we go into nature to find refreshment? Plus they discuss how being outside (on adventures, in beautiful places) has helped shape them and how it particularly helps shape the habit of paying attention.

Proverbial #68: Marvin Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Jane Austen wrote, "The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient - at others, so bewildered and so weak - and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! - We are to be sure a miracle every way - but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting, do seem peculiarly past finding out." In this episode, Joshua Gibbs tells a single story from a difficult summer when he believed his life was ending.
