Embodied Holiness

We often think of holiness as something distant or reserved for the super spiritual, but Jesus showed us it can be part of even our busiest, messiest moments. This podcast explores what it means to live out holiness in the everyday moments of life. You're invited to be part of the community and conversation as we learn how to embody holiness together.

SCOTT ERICKSON has had long midnight conversations with the Voice of Giving Up, and knows how depression can make the Voice especially loud. In this episode we talk with Scott about how he's moved beyond the Voice of Giving Up into a life of saying yes, the difference between a desire and a dream, and how the spiritual practice of taking away helps us grow closer to God.

Scott is currently touring his one man show, “SAY YES: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up On Yourself”, juxtaposing story-teaching, participation, humor, and image curation as he walks us through the very personal and universal conversation about the death of a dream and the overwhelming voice of Giving Up in our lives.
