We live in a time when opinions, “hot takes,” and personal commentary are a regular part of how we relate to the world and each other. But how do we shift from being mainly observers and deconstructors to being participants and reconstructors?

At the peak of my activity last fall, it felt as if I was spending all the time I was not in school, athletics, or church, at the STEM lab. It was a busy time, and I felt like a drained battery. While I enjoyed the work, it felt unsustainable. This is when I realized I needed a more spiritual view.
