Ever wondered how holiness fits into the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Join me, Brian Stiller, as I sit down with the brilliant Karen Stiller to explore this profound topic. Karen, an acclaimed writer, shares her spiritual journey and insights from her latest book, "Holiness Here: Searching for God in the Ordinary Events of Everyday Life." Together, we challenge the rigid stereotypes of holiness, viewing it instead as a dynamic and transformative journey. Our discussion touches on the perceptions that came with her late husband’s role as a minister and how these shaped her understanding of holiness as an ongoing process rather than an immediate state of being.

We also tackle the complex themes of blame and shame, drawing connections to the biblical story of Adam and Eve and emphasizing the power of community support in overcoming these challenges. Through personal stories, we highlight the importance of patience, vulnerability, and the transformative power of generosity. Karen’s candid reflections on writing amid personal loss reveal how suffering can deepen one's understanding of holiness and community. This episode invites you to reconsider holiness as an active, relational journey, encouraging a deeper connection with both yourself and the world around you.
