Laura: Some days, all I want to do is escape.

I’m not just talking about getting out of my house. I’m talking about standing in a cathedral of Redwoods . . . or the one time I saw the Northern Lights. That feeling that I’m part of something bigger.

Escape can be small, too, like the checkout worker who knows me even though we’ve never seen each other’s faces. Or the friend who hugs me and won’t let go. That kind of escape flips a switch. It reminds me that even when the world is on fire, there is also beauty and delight. I can let my guard down. . . for a moment, I’m home.

Welcome to Shelter in Place, a podcast about embracing the journey in a world that is forever changed.

We spent season 2 on a Pandemic Odyssey that brought us from one coast to the other, and back again. In season 3, we’re bringing you stories in search of home.

Bethany: Is home security? Is it where we grow? And what if home is complicated, or even painful?

Alana: What do I want to welcome back into my life, and what do I want to leave behind?

Laura: We’re not sure what home looks like anymore, but we know what we want from it.

I want to know that I belong here, not because of what I accomplished or earned, but because of who I am.

Meridian: I want a home where we don’t pretend that our world isn’t broken--but we’re creating beauty from that brokenness.

Laura: In every episode, we’re exploring how to be human in a way that feels expansive rather than exhausting. We’re learning how to escape not out of life, but into it.
