It's the last show of the year and the last show before we put together something special for the 100th episode. April is a Disciples of Christ pastor and has served in various leadership positions over the years. But what really makes her qualified for this particular topic is all of the Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany traditions she celebrates with her family each year. This interview features a number of ideas people should consider implementing into their own annual traditions.

The final book of his trilogy, <i>Moria Versus the Universe</i>, was just released in November 2021. Martin is a friend of mine (Chris) and we have had numerous discussions over the years about writing, the creative process, God, grief, not feeling like we belong anywhere, being consummate curmudgeons, politics, and schmolitics. Our conversation for this episode continues in that line, though here he goes into detail about the world building of his trilogy of novels, how it is a meditation on the possible future of humanity, and why exactly Stephen King is an utter failure (you heard it here first!). Martin came along in my life at a particularly pivotal moment. I was transitioning out of a job and had no idea where I was going. As our friendship formed he offered me a lot of encouragement and the simple excitement of talking with someone about writing, creativity, and all the ideas that fill our heads. For that I will always be grateful.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">You can discover more about Martin at his website: <a href="https://martinmatthewswrites.com/">https://martinmatthewswrites.com/</a> or purchase his books through his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Martin-Matthews/e/B0792N2XN6?ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vu00_tkin_p1_i0" target="_blank">Amazon author page</a>.</span> </p>

From her bio: </span><i style="font-family: helvetica;">"Harmony is a worshiper, songwriter and pastor whose heart is all about seeing people connect with Jesus in a lifestyle of worship. This passion is particularly clear in her songs, which can be found on several Vineyard UK & Ireland worship albums, including Creator, Spirit Burn, The Feast and most recently, Legacy – Live from Ireland. She has also just released ‘You Have Our Yes’ a call to unity in the face of increasing division, chaos and distraction, inviting the people of God to offer their 'yes' and their full allegiance to Jesus."</i><div><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You can watch the music video for "You Have Our Yes," featuring Marc James and Cathy Burton <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOfUBfoNOQI&ab_channel=VineyardWorship" target="_blank">HERE </a>and stream or download the other music heard on this episode at <a href="https://vineyardworshipuki.bandcamp.com/album/legacy-live-from-ireland" target="_blank">Vineyard's Bandcamp page</a>, or any place you stream music. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Harmony interviewed political theologian Stephen Backhouse, who Chris produces the <a href="https://tent-talks.simplecast.com/" target="_blank">Tent Theology podcast</a> with, on the Vineyard UK podcast, which you can watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzhu2tv5BKc&t=79s&ab_channel=VineyardWorshipUK%26Ireland" target="_blank">HERE</a> or listen to <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/pg/podcast/what-is-worship-harmony-smith-stephen-backhouse-vineyard/id1065902613?i=1000493367985" target="_blank">HERE</a>.
