About this listen

My life is very ordinary. I’m not glamorous. But in a culture that’s constantly chasing the next shiny thing, there’s something deeply satisfying about a ”long obedience in the same direction.” It’s an ordinary life, but better. It’s Glordinary. Let’s be friends as we celebrate God’s Glory and champion the ordinary.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved. Christianity Spirituality

  • #82- Interruptions: Not What We Were Hoping For
    Sep 10 2025

    There’s a few constants in life: Jesus, death, taxes, and those blessed interruptions all the live-long day! Grr!

    Yep, let’s talk about it, Friend! How do we handle life when the constant start-stop of interruptions keeps us behind the eight ball? We’ll take a cue from an unlikely two in Luke 24.

    www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "Because interruptions hold the power of being deeply invitational and the potential of being deeply formational. Yeah, once more. Interruptions hold the power of being deeply invitational and the potential of being deeply formational. Invitational and formational."

    C.S. Lewis Quotes Used: “What one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life- the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one’s “real life” is a phantom of one’s own imagination.” (Letters of C. S. Lewis)

    “That is why the real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind.” (Mere Christianity)

  • #81- Priority vs. Priorities: The Single Most Important Thing
    Sep 3 2025

    Life’s busy. Everything’s urgent. Everything’s important…except, it’s not. Let's peel back our priorities and pay attention to the thing that matters most. Meet me for coffee with a new episode from Acts 16. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "So, let’s think about it. If everything is a priority, nothing is really a priority. And if everything is of first and foremost importance, nothing is really of first and foremost importance. Yet, this is how we live our lives, or at least how we pattern our lives. (Saying we’re living might be a bit of a stretch.)"

  • #80- Open Minds: Understanding Diligence
    Aug 27 2025

    Ready for a new Glordinary series? Me too.

    Join me as we ease into another pace of life with a series titled: Open Minds. Before things gets crazy (or crazier), let’s chat through a few helpful hints from Luke 24:45. We’ll focus in on prioritizing well, embracing interruptions, and that blessed finish line. Pour a fresh cup of coffee and let’s talk. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "Because it’s not about “get it done.” It’s not about this check-list, cross-off, box-checking, rigorous life. It’s about the highly-valued life, delight-driven learning. Diligent learning. Learning to understand. Because at the end of the day, grades are arbitrary in life’s classroom. Understanding is key."
