"Heaven and Nature Sing" with Hannah Anderson

Author and Bible teacher, Hannah Anderson, helps us explore one often-overlooked aspect of the Christmas story, inviting us to take a closer look at the created world. In her new book, Heaven and Nature Sing: 25 Reflections to Bring Joy to the World, she invites us to consider the earthy, unnoticed things like snowflakes, trees, bodies, and swaddling bands that reveal the glory of the Promised Son.

Hannah helps us see how creation bears witness to God’s character and spiritual realities, how Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection redeems humanity and the entire creation, the usefulness of seemingly dormant seasons of our lives, and her experience of redefining beauty in her relationship with her own created body.

"Calling all People Pleasers and Perfectionists" with Melody Miles

Melody Miles is a writer, coach, founder of the company Soulcation, and formerly an international expert at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. There she helped launch the global campaign to eradicate malaria.

After working in 25 African countries by the age of 30, Melody found herself hyperventilating, in the midst of a panic attack, utterly confused why she felt so stressed, exhausted, and unhappy inside the life she always thought she wanted. In the wake of her pain, she quit her dream job, sold her belongings, and traveled solo around the world to forge a new way forward. On the other side of her adventure, Melody founded Soulcation, a company helping fellow hustlers, perfectionists, and world-changers develop regular self-care routines that calm inner chaos and revive the soul.
