How to live well when you're busy
At The Well This Week
On a special Dear Mentor episode of the podcast, Karen Hice Guzmán has conversations with three faculty members about the things they do when life is really busy — listen in for relatable and practical wisdom.
“The chance of a lifetime at the wrong time can go very poorly. Timing is extremely important.” — Ruth Lopez Turley
“There are not really boundaries that come with the job. If you consciously put them in, then maybe it will go a little better.” — Ellane Park
“What works right now, in this season?” — Cindy Prescott
Here’s a snapshot of what’s going on in our book club this fall — we’re reading Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age.
“This is not a book that denies the good that technology and the digital bring — we at WSAP would be the first to appreciate the possibilities of technology as most of our work uses digital technology to connect women to God and each other. But the author names our profound attachment to the digital and unearths the ways the digital industry has spiritually shaped our collective souls such that we are becoming people very different to the traditional Biblical ideas of personhood.”
