Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks how the Golden Rule is not passive but an active, imaginative, and costly form of love that requires stepping into the shoes of others — even the difficult ones.
