What if we could escape to a place where we had everything we needed, where there was no pain or hunger or loneliness? Pulitzer prize-winning author Anthony Doerr shows us how.

Laura and Eve Bishop met a little over a year ago—but so much has changed since that it feels like a lifetime. They talk about the challenges and changes that have shaped them, what unifies their work, and why they’re still feeling hopeful even in this time of division.

What would life look like if we oriented our week not around work—but rest? In this episode, we explore our personal and societal need for rest, restoration, and delight—and how the light of Sabbath rest might be the missing ingredient we’ve all been longing for.. #sabbath #community #memoir #rest

What have you lost in the pandemic? What have you found? We asked these questions to people from New York to New Mexico. What they told us has given us a roadmap for finding our way home. #interview #memoir #ensemble

How can we feel at home even when our world feels out of control? All of us long for joy, rest, beauty, and belonging—but finding our way there isn’t always simple or easy. #trailer #home #growth

Why create? This is the question we ask every time we make an episode, and the first one we post to the trainees in our podcast training program. It’s also one of the questions driving season 3 of Shelter in Place, which launches next week. . #creativity #poetry #writing

What if life’s biggest tragedy could also be life’s greatest blessing? When lifelong ski patrol and EMT instructor Posie Mansfield lost her leg a month after she lost her husband, it seemed like everything she loved had been taken away from her. A decade later, she tells us why that loss is the greatest gift of her life. #interview #amputee #faith

In this episode we reflect on some of our own experiences of death, and get some fresh perspective from Sarah Chavez. She pulls back the shroud on the modern funeral industry, points out how social issues can also affect the dead, and suggests better ways for us all to engage with this natural part of life. 

When we face mental health struggles, who will help us find our way out? Laura and Shelter in Place apprentice Winnie Shi talk about depression, the secrets they’ve kept hidden, and how they found light in the darkest of times.

What does civic engagement look like when you can't get together? Laura talks to activist Mila Atmos, discussing how creating podcasts in a pandemic has shaped them, why they feel compelled to grapple with tough issues, and why they still hold on to hope. #womenpodcast #femalehost #interviewpodcast
