No Mere Mortals

E01: Welcome: Let's Talk!

We welcome you to the conversation! This introduction invites you to pursue all that is good, true, or beautiful together with us and let it shape our lives, our families, our creativity, our work, our play, and everything! This episode also offers a vision for this podcast and our partner podcast “Good Things Run Wild” with Kristen Morris. Together we will launch a conversational podcast: “Maker’s Hollow Conversations“ on June 1! www.EnjoyingGraceStoryCo.com https://www.instagram.com/donshorey/ http://www.patreon.com/nomeremortals

E02: Our Happy, Fierce Friend

These are unsettling and threatening times. And while many have sought to reduce God to a comfortable, convenient size; we celebrate the God who is with us: good, happy, fierce, unrivaled, and devoted to doing us great good! www.EnjoyingGraceStoryCo.com https://www.patreon.com/nomeremortals https://www.instagram.com/donshorey/

E03: Death Starts Working Backwards: The Immortal Here

The immortality of the human soul—both ours and others—changes everything. This reality stands in stark contrast to our secular age and the religion of "right now" offering us a life of significance and purpose as we pursue the happiness and holiness of our Maker, who made us in His image and took on our image to restore His image in us. Here is new vision of the enchantment and transforming value of every small thing in everyday life. www.EnjoyingGraceStoryCo.com https://www.instagram.com/donshorey/ http://www.patreon.com/nomeremortals    

E04: Heaven: The Ultimate “Reality” Check

The reality and hope of Heaven, a gloriously remade New Earth, is a promise that runs throughout the Scriptures. It is not wishful thinking or a cop out, but a real and glorious place that redefines our present life and offers us the vision and strength to richly live life now, even in the midst of disappointment, pain, or great trial. The best is yet to come!   www.EnjoyingGraceStoryCo.com https://www.instagram.com/do Shorey/ http://www.patreon.com/nomeremortals

E05: Dark Night of the Soul: Depression and Delight are Friends

There are too many uncertain days and long dark nights in quarantine.  As Calvin said (Calvin and Hobbes, not the historic theologian): "I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction."  I see it across social media and in loved ones and tugging at my own soul—the dark places, the hard nights, the battering ram of life in the shadowlands—they all seem darker in isolation, with little fellowship or sunlight or community laughter or free adventure or baseball.  Depression is real—dark nights of the soul are the familiar experience of many. Is there grace to find gladness in the midst of grief? http://www.EnjoyingGraceStoryCo.com https://www.instagram.com/donshorey http://www.patreon.com/nomeremortals
