In this episode, we discuss:
How his journey with Merryn through the broken dream of infertility informs his approach to life's difficulties.
Developing a deep and "precious reality" of what it means to be a child of God.
Trials being the very things God can use to shape us and often grow greater fruitfulness.
The shift of creative work from in-person to online.
God's invitation to slowness.
The need for virtue and a way to cope with anxiety during coronavirus.
Sheridan guides us through a breath prayer based on the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 .
A lovely visual guide of the prayer created by Joanne Wilson.

On Pause: Healing Words from Everyday Artists during Isolation is a special series to help creative people find groundedness, belonging, and courage during the coronavirus outbreak. I’ve asked artists to share words that are beacons of honesty, truth, and goodness to their souls during this time of distance as a global community on pause.
