It’s no bad thing to seek to live a quiet life. In fact, perhaps it’s this very context in which we find joy and happiness in doing the Lord’s work. The life we are invited to live, the abundant life, is as much about laundry and bass fishing as it is about preaching the gospel by any means necessary. Andy Squyres is a fishing aficionado who also moonlights as a singer-songwriter, a poet, and a Pentecostal preacher. As you will hear in our conversation today, he exudes hard-earned wisdom about pressing into the Spirit of God in the midst of all our false notions of what success and greatness look like, more influenced by our egos and a competitive culture than the way of Jesus. We talk about sifting through our origin stories, holding onto (or being held by) the words of God as we encounter the inevitable tragedies of life, and what it may actually mean to live in abundance.
