54: Janice Peterson | A Life Well Lived

What a treat we have for today's episode. If you’ve listened to this podcast for very long at all, you’ve heard me, quoting, almost weekly, the one and only, Eugene Peterson. Just in case anyone is unfamiliar with Eugene Peterson, he was a very much beloved American Pastor, professor, author and poet who passed away in 2018. Eugene wrote over 30 books including The Message, which is a beautiful paraphrasing translation of the Bible into modern everyday language. On today’s episode, we had the incredible honor of sitting down with Eugene’s sweetheart of 60 years, Janice Peterson, as she shares her story, the journey of discovering her own calling, how she met and fell in love with Eugene, and some of her favorite moments with him over their 60 years together. She is an absolute JOY! This conversation was just a GIFT, and we hope and pray you will settle in with your coffee or tea and soak up every sweet story and incredible word of wisdom she shares. Enjoy!
