Rest will predict your energy.
Nourishment will predict your performance and endurance.
Enlightenment will predict your purpose and engagement.
Yes, it’s true, you will get what you give. But you can’t give what you haven’t received.
In the end, your healthy body, mind, and soul is the best thing you could ever give us.
What we’re near shapes us and changes us.
What are you near? What books? What people? What ideas?
Maybe there’s a better question…What should you be near?
The answer will come to you when you pause long enough to look and listen.
It’s been a while and it’s good to be back!
In this episode we talk about the beauty and the metaphors that can be found in the season of Autumn that is upon us.

Autumn – By Ashton Gustafson
Ego of the trees burning away,
green to gold to bourbon fade.
Night stays long – the candle’s friend,
a majestic unwind curls spring’s next grin.
So now we may waltz with what sheds in the fall
for there’s no other way to rise through it all.
Grounded in love and making room for the bloom,
Autumn, the first verse of what’s ‘to be continued’.

Today, we had a first at LTMP Podcast…I had the honor and privilege to have and share a conversation with Evan Rosell, Pastor of Ministry Leadership at Redeemer Fellowship in Kansas City, MO.
A few weeks ago, Evan and I had one of our sporadic phone calls. After about an hour of riffing back and forth on new ideas, concepts, books, and journeys, I asked if he would be up for recording a call and sharing it on the podcast. He agreed and I think you’ll enjoy it!
More love,
Ashton
PS – If you haven’t watched Chef’s Table on Netflix, you are missing out. It is crazy-beautiful, wonderfully inspiring and I’m watching it tonight.
In episode 10 we discuss the experience that unfolds in the pursuit of beauty and a few stories I gathered from last week.
We also listen to “Life is Beautiful” by Ryan Adams in this episode. Lyrics can be found here.
Enjoy.
