A Beautifully Adventurous Life: Full of Wonder and Curiosity

Cultivate the Ordinary

In this episode, Travis and Jess talk about the themes of wonder, curiosity, and creativity. They ask questions like: "Where does our childlike wonder go?" and "How can boredom lead to curiosity?" They also discuss how God can sometimes dramatically show up in our moments of creativity and curiosity and spark something special.

You'll also hear about how they met on a bizarre online dating site where Travis posted a picture of himself riding a llama. They also talk about how God led them into the world of foster care and adoption through an unlikely messenger. You'll hear a story about Travis' brother Jeremy (who suffered a traumatic brain injury) and how a powerfully creative idea led to Jeremy creating art. This and much more!
