What we “feed on” in our lives is what comes out in other areas of our lives. What is it that you depend on each day? What is at the bottom of your wisdom pyramid? Is it social media? Pills? Alcohol? Or is it the word of God? Join us as we discuss books we are reading, with a small focus on how to feed our souls in a post-truth world AND how to love others during it. In this episode, we highlight two different books we are currently reading for the spring of 2021. If you are interested in these books, check them out online: The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World by Brett McCracken and Everybody Always by Bob Goff.
