James K.A. Smith: The Dynamic of Being Known
"I actually think we need a little more friction in our experiences of things to get us to sort of pause and dwell and be."
For years one of Dave's favorite books has been On the Road with Saint Augustine: A Real-World Spirituality for Restless Hearts, and today we have the author James KA Smith joining Dadville. Throughout the conversation, Smith gives enlightened views on not only Saint Augustine, but also his latest book, How to Inhabit Time, which shows why awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for orienting faith in the twenty-first century.

Excellent episode, guys. And not that this is the only thing I took away from the hour but I just have to mention since you brought it up, Jon—- that I literally live in one of the catalog/mail order houses. Circa early 1950s. 🏡😂 There’s a little metal plaque in the one closet that says so and it’s been confirmed by multiple people that knew the original owners. I bought the house from the family after the folks that “ordered” it passed away.
And as a mother who contends with an existent but mostly absent father for her child, it does take a village, but also strong shoulders. Definitely a heavy load when you’re doing both jobs and picking up pieces along the way. She’s 21 now and is a strong, determined woman but man—will a therapist get an earful from her one day. 🤣
Keep on keeping on and we will keep listening.
