Living What We Believe w/ Heath Hardesty

Show notes

About This Episode Aaron sits down with pastor Heath Hardesty, who shares his journey from plumbing to pastoring and the vision behind his book All Things Together. Heath argues that faith is meant to shape every area of life, not just Sundays, and that apprenticeship to Jesus is how we learn to live what we believe. He describes a culture that fragments us, where media feeds stitch the sacred and profane together and form us without our noticing, and he points to union with Christ as the way back to a whole life. They talk honestly about lament and joy, reflecting that there is not only an empty tomb but a cross and a day of silence. Heath then walks through seven practices that can shape a marriage and family: scriptural meditation, unceasing prayer, life together, unhurried presence, joyful generosity, compassionate gentleness, and faithful witness.
