Heidi Barr: Slouching Towards Radiance

“What I do know is that an unremarkable day can be full of wonder if we pay attention.”

Take a moment to think about how you feel when you’re slouching. The word “radiant” is probably not the first word that comes to mind. But in her new book, Slouching Toward Radiance, Heidi Barr shows us that we can feel radiant even when slouching. Her words are one of comfort and blessing, allowing us to feel seen.

In today’s episode, Heidi shares how complicated joy can be, and where she finds it even on the gloomiest of days. It is often found in the tiny things: in the way the sun touches your skin, or in the moss growing on the crumbling steps outside. And it is there, in those little signs of life, where we can find the God of joy and hope.
