ABOUT THE EPISODE
Have you ever sensed God saying “not yet”? In episode 14, Sarah sits down with Dr. Julia Hurlow who shares about a long season of waiting—a ten-year journey that involved multiple moves, job uncertainty, and dreams deferred. Sarah and Julia talk about contentment, the role of community, and finding a sense of “home” when nothing goes as planned.
MEET THE GUEST
An avid traveler, Dr. Julia Hurlow was born in Middle America, has lived in six different states as an adult, and spent many months overseas in multiple countries. Her roots are currently being watered in Indiana. Julia lives with an insatiable curiosity to live an embodied life through exploration and experience. She believes that being present in lament and celebration within community are essentials to meaning making. Julia spends much of her time inviting people to build a table together or participating with others hiking the Camino in Spain—cooking and sharing meals together along with exploring the land on a trail or sleeping under the stars.
These experiences have influenced her desire to embody authentic relationships that mirror the love and belonging of the Divine Triune God through making meaning in the world. Professionally, Dr. Hurlow serves at a University in the area of Discipleship through Student Development along with teaching, offering spiritual direction, speaking, and writing.
