“Love Big, Be Well” “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.” ― Franz Kafka On this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael concludes his conversation with author and pastor Winn Collier. Winn is from Charlottesville, Virginia, where he lives with his wife Miska and their two sons, Wyatt and Seth. Winn likes friendship, fair-trade coffee, smart movies, books worth reading, honest music, mountains, questions, walking in the woods, and doing just about anything with Miska or his boys. He dislikes pretense, fear, injustice—and that he doesn’t live anywhere near a Planet Smoothie. Winn writes for magazines and is the author of four books: Restless Faith: Hanging on to a God Just out of Reach, Let God: The Transforming Wisdom of Francois Fenelon, Holy Curiosity: Encountering Jesus’ Provocative Questions and his recent fiction: Love Big, Be Well: Letters to a Small-Town Church. Winn is pastor of All Souls Charlottesville. In this podcast, discover: The impact of Eugene Peterson on Winn’s life and writing. Insight into why writers write. Insight into the discussion on spirituality vs. religion and whether or not transcendence can happen in church. Winn’s pursuit of new ways of “doing church” actually causes him to look backwards.
