And, parents are an example of learning how to relax, how to "just" sit and ponder, how to stop and watch, endeavoring not to miss the little details of beauty and inspiration around us. I still remember how hard-working and active my father was. Yet, he would take an evening to sit outside and watch a thunderstorm with me or to belly-flop into the grass and observe the microscopic ecosystems under our noses. He would get library books and quietly read without feeling guilty. We'd watch sunsets together without having to say a word. It was good for him, of course; but, it was a super lesson for us kids who still remember his actions in "inactions." Allow your mind and body to have regular recess out on the playgrounds of your choice!

I'm only 10 minutes in, and I'm loving this podcast. Thank you so much, both of you! God bless!!! I learned to rest and go slower the hard way - both mental/emotional burnouts, and physical chronic pain developed and not disappearing. It's true, our souls are infinite, but our bodies are finite and must be taken care of, this includes *all* the rest we need, not more, not less - of course we'll never be perfect at that either. I'm just trying to add to the encouragement of being okay with resting and finding that a priority, so we can keep going! God bless you all! ❤❤❤

This came at such a pivotal time! Thank you so much for having this raw and real conversation and sharing it with the rest of us. So convicting!

I needed to hear this today. I recently left the Catholic Church after really getting into the faith I was raised in. It seemed like there was always something else that I was supposed to be doing in order to help myself and my family and my friends and souls in purgatory. Definitely a works based faith. There is so much that I want to read and learn and they’re just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day even though I’m retired. I need to continually remind myself that I am only human. God expects me to do my best and that’s good enough.

Great interview/ podcast. I too struggle with quiet/pausing/rest, feeling guilty if I’m not listening to an audiobook or podcast when I’m walking, working, even resting. I also agree with him in that my prayer life suffers because I frequently fail to see a direct impact of my prayer. Reading the Bible produces tangible progress that can be tracked. Also loved the line, “parenting is managing the “No” with your kids” (I probably didn’t get that exactly right). I’m often made to feel I’m being selfish if I say no to anything. Great stuff!

WOW--WOW-WOW MORE-MORE-MORE Definitely checking him out for more. Thank you for what you are doing!! Blessing so many with so much!!

Such a great interview!! Thank you for these!!!

Great conversation thank you so much both of you for your time

Absolutely Brilliant. Loved this Podcast so much. What an Amazing Man to listen to. Faith you were so Blessed to have him as a Professor + We are so Blessed to have you to share ALL the wonderful insights to all things of Theology. It would be fantastic if Dr Kapic could be on another Podcast with you in the future. God Bless You you Both 🙏🌈

Wow!! That was amazing!! He said so many things I resonated with and needed to hear. ❤ you're both doing great work!! I bought the book for new theologians like 2 years ago when I started watching you. Now I need to grab the other 2. ❤

What a relatable conversation. Thanks for sharing!

I love this guy! I'm sitting here crocheting while talking about this. I have struggled with resting for a majority of my life. But it has greatly affected my mental health. Small practices like crocheting while listening to Biblical themed videos.

There was so much in this podcast, I’m going to need to watch it again.

Hi Faith, Thank you for this podcast. I can certainly see why you’re still a fan of this professor. Due to health issues that I’ve been battling for years, the two books that y’all talked about could be of help to me so I’m planning on getting those two books. I will also be checking out other resources that y’all discussed. God bless, Janet

Welcome, Dr. Kapic! Awesome Podcast! 🙌

I absolutely loved this podcast.. its only my 2nd time listening to your podcasts, Faith, and this one was very eye opening, convicting and comforting ❤

You are a blessing here on KZfaq! Appreciate your willingness for the Lord 💜💜 all for His glory!

Thank you so much!! Awesome, and so deep.

Oh man, this was great, especially when it comes to trying to silence the enemies voice and remind ourselves of God's promises through the condemnation and guilt.

I love your videos so much! It’s refreshing to have positive, uplifting, informative, FAITH based content.

I had to buy the book and it just came today. Can't wait to dive in!

Faith, can you please add the commentary and resource suggestions from your guests into the description box for each episode?

Wow! I an see why you liked his classes! I am going to add his book on humanity to my wishlist.

What a neat person! You were so fortunate to have him shape your life 😊

I can hear him talk for hours! Even as a college kid I always wanted to hear more haha

Great topic!!

I can't believe how much this is resonating with me! I'll be to the point that as the microwave is counting down I'm trying to use those last 13 secs to get something in just to be productive! I HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK!!

Thank you Faith!

Favorite episode so far. I would love to hear more from Dr. Kelly!

Ok to be honest I put off watching this one because the last author was way over my head but he is so relatable and I am totally getting his book.

Loved it!

The young man that Kelly referenced that he would sit for 25 minutes letting the thoughts come, reminds me of Barb Raveling's truth journaling. You write out the thoughts in your head and then look over what you wrote and if there are lies you address them with the truth. So hard to do but definitely worth the effort.

John Owen is hard but wonderful. I'm reading the death of death in the death of Christ. It's wonderful. Overcoming sin and temptation is wonderful as well. I just typically have to read with a notebook and a dictionary.

What is the actual title of the historical background commentary 2 volume set he mentioned? Trying to find the right ones on Amazon...Thanks!

Welcome!!!

This talk reminds me of when I read Get your life back by John Eldridge. Truly an incredible book on this concept

Mondays and Fridays are my FAVORITE 🤍

Hello & welcome

Yes!

So Covenant is the college you went to? What is the full name of it, please.

Welcome!

Welcome

Faith, how are you reacting, responding to current world events? I’d like to hear your take on it especially given your biblical expertise. I know I feel anxiety in the sense that it’s so disheartening.

What about speaking on delegation so we have more time. Because I sent At home and I have a lot of time but I’m older I would like to do more for people, but all I can do is pray that God sends me people I love having a lot of time to pray, I think my life is aliving prayer and I pray constantly all day long as I go along

Faith, What is the Book of Enoch? Was it really removed from the Bible? Would reading it grow my understanding of the Lord, or would it corrupt my thinking? Please help. Thank you in advance! ❤

hello i am such a fan of you

Great video, but you still need to relocate your big "Bible Nerd" sign so we can see it as you speak.:-)

I was in the very first class of Faith and Suffering! So I lowkey helped with the book LOL not really

Creativity is definitely a great spiritual outlet, after all God is the Creator, and we are made in his image!

Mary and Martha. ~Martha did good being busy all the time serving. Mary did better sitting at Jesus' feet being decipled . Balance.

A little bit of a God complex going on here. This is all you think that God can’t be glorified unless you’re moving unless you’re doing. You’re always telling us how it’s not about you it’s about glorifying God so be still and know that he is God, psalm 46,10

Welcome!!!
