We all experienced the crush of modern life. Anxiety is at an all time high. We're caught between the merciless waters of a culture that pushes us to be and do more. How do we manage that? As Alan Noble, who's been a guest on the show, has written, sometimes we just need to get out of bed. Indeed, our culture pushes us to be more than human. Almost. But as theologian Kelly Kapic has shown us, we need to know our limits because we're only human after all.

We are God's image bearers. We've been created to reflect his image, and as such, he has created us to work. But how can we work in this modern world when it demands that we be more than human? How can we simply be in a culture that only wants us to do? After all, as today's guest has written, we are human beings, not human doings. So where can we turn to find a voice to guide us in the chaotic cultural waters in which we find ourselves? Well, that's why I've invited today's guest to be on the show. Stephen Lawson is here to help us.

Stephen is a whole person, productivity coach and founder of the Monk Manual. After spending a decade pushing himself to every limit in his work alongside his colleagues and friends. He slowed down, look around, and realized something was wrong. Modern productivity has given all the right answers to the wrong questions and was robbing him of the two things he was actually seeking peace and fulfillment. Determined to find a way of life that accounts for the whole person, body, mind and spirit, Stephen began a soulful journey that led him to launch a monk manual.

Since its founding, Monk Manual has grown by the average of 200% year over year, with tools and education that have now impacted the lives of over 100,000 people. Stephen also serves as a strategic consultant to a number of four profit and nonprofit companies.
