    Discovering Joy by Praying All of Life with W. David O. Taylor & Phaedra Jean Taylor
    Apr 1 2026
    Sometimes sacred gifts arrive quietly—in the scent of broth simmering in the kitchen or in the gentle light cascading across a painting.These small moments hold invitations for us to connect with God. But are our hearts prepared and open to do so?In this episode of The Digital Examen, host Jay Y. Kim welcomes theologian W. David O. Taylor and visual artist Phaedra Jean Taylor for a moving conversation about embracing God’s interest and presence in our everyday life. Together, they share how prayers, paintings, and simple moments invite us to slow down, embrace a softened heart toward God, and receive the hidden graces we often overlook.Drawing from their book Prayers for the Pilgrimage and the visual landscapes Phaedra creates, the Taylors reflect on the trust we foster amid struggle, how art and imagination cultivate hope, and how we can truly be met by God both in joy and sorrow. They wrestle with how to bring our full lives—our soup-making, our grumpy moods, our diaper-changing, our illnesses—into honest prayer. They also uncover Jesus’ subversive way of modeling joy amid suffering and offer creative ways to nurture an "undramatic attunement" to God's presence as we move through the world. Tune in to learn how to experience Jesus and joy afresh today through vulnerability and praying through all of life’s emotions and experiences with God.This episode highlights the following themes:How God meets us in pain, pleasure, and the ordinary moments of lifeHow prayer and art invite vulnerability, honesty, and healingPractices for slowing down, noticing, and finding God everywhereLinks from this episode: Learn more about W.

  • Discovering Joy with our Imagination with Malcolm Guite

    Discovering Joy with our Imagination with Malcolm Guite
    Mar 25 2026
    How can we engage our imagination to perceive the ordinary imbued with the extraordinary?All of reality is aflame with God’s loving presence, glimmering with meaning, beauty, and wisdom beneath the surface of our everyday.In this episode of The Digital Examen, Jay Y. Kim welcomes author, poet, priest, and musician Dr. Malcolm Guite. Widely recognized as one of today’s greatest Christian poets, Guite shares how our imagination is not a creative extra, but a truth-telling faculty that helps us apprehend meaning in a world saturated with data yet hungry for substance. Seamlessly connecting insights from Shakespeare and Seamus Heaney to John’s gospel and the life of Moses, Guite illustrates how poetry and story help us discover that reality shimmers with divine presence. By engaging our imagination with God, Guite notes that we can perceive “reality [as] itself numinous, translucent with glimmerings of the supernatural.” Together, Kim and Guite explore how imagination makes biblical truth come alive, how metaphors and parables reveal vivid wisdom, and why community is essential for nurturing and expanding the Christian imagination. Listen and be inspired to see your life, faith, and surroundings in a new light—and the world as the handiwork of the greatest poet, God. This episode highlights the following themes:Why imagination is crucial for perceiving meaning, not just informationHow metaphor and poetry bring spiritual truths down to earthThe role of community in expanding and renewing Christian imaginationLinks from this episode: Learn more about Dr. Malcolm GuiteRead Dr. Malcolm Guite’s books, Mariner, Sounding the Seasons and Faith, Hope and PoetryRead "Digging" by Seamus HeaneyRead the transcript herePreorder The Pace of Peace by Jay Y.

    Our often hurried pace of life not only affects us as adults, but also our kids.

Together, they talk honestly about the frenzied pace of modern life—how it impacts young people, families, and the adults we become—and propose gentler rhythms centered on trust, presence, and joy.

    Pouch shares her own journey as a parent and teacher, reflecting on how savoring the moments of childhood, lingering with familiar stories and practices, and embracing Sabbath rest can help children and adults recover a sense of identity and connection with God and one another. They discuss why nurturing play, creativity, and even boredom are essential in a world obsessed with productivity and achievement.
