For episode 8, I’m honored to be interviewing guest Lilyan Andrews, writer of the blog Lilies and Thorns (<a href="https://www.liliesandthorns.com/">https://www.liliesandthorns.com/</a>) and personal coach. In this episode, Lilyan shares why she started her blog, and how that has helped her paint her life experiences with the colors and strokes of biblical teaching. In talking about the blog and some of her stories, Lilyan speaks to the interplay between culture and faith.&nbsp;
During the episode, Lilyan recommends a couple of books, including What the Church Fathers Say About (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/What-Church-Fathers-Say-About/dp/1880971356">https://www.amazon.com/What-Church-Fathers-Say-About/dp/1880971356</a>), and Becoming a Healing Presence (<a href="https://svspress.com/becoming-a-healing-presence/">https://svspress.com/becoming-a-healing-presence/</a>)

S1E9 - The Liturgical Life: Why Service Must Begin at the Altar

Service in church can be difficult. Whether you’ve served for a few months or a few decades, there will always be challenges and surprises with the changing times. Service in Practice will deal with contemporary issues we as servants may face, while holding fast to the timeless truths given to us through the teachings of Christ, and passed down through the traditions of the Church. On each episode, you’ll hear a guest share his or her experiences in service and thoughtful advice. 

“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another.” (1 Peter 4:10)
