In preparation for our first conference this spring, we wanted to do an episode on what we are dreaming about for INSPIRE conference + experience. It is a journey of exploring the intersection of spirituality and creativity and rethinking faith and cities. We truly believe this is going to be an extraordinary time for people from all walks in life. We are planting a flag in the ground for people that see the world differently and want to bring hope, life and beauty to the world we live in. If you are a leader, pastor, designer, dreamer, entrepreneur, business owner, craftsmen, communicator, innovator....DO WHAT YOU CAN TO BE HERE. INSPIRE conference + experience April 2-4, 2025 go to www.studioconferences.com for tickets, details and lineup. Can't wait to see you there!

Are there shadow sides to the spiritual gifts?Where is the beauty?Should the prophetic gift be involved in elections?We recognize there’s a generation whose experiences within cultures that emphasize the gifts have left them deeply conflicted and wounded, even to the point of leaving their faith.In this episode, Eric and Shayna wrestle with the dynamics of cultures that emphasize spiritual gifts and discuss how the church can do better while offering some steps for moving forward.[Produced by Jeffrey Griffith & Josh Lechlitner][Copyright 2024: The Space Between Words Podcast]

Chef's Table, Salmon and Tradition
Listen to Eric and Shayna talk about a featured French Chef on Netflix Chef's Table and his decision to take a famous dish off the menu at his 3 star Michelin Restaurant. This angered many and he knew this would happen but he desperately needed to break free from the shackles of tradition to find out what he had deep inside of him. It was in this journey he discovered things he didn't know existed in him. How many times in our own lives are traditions keeping us from creating, dreaming, unearthing who we were designed to be?
