Abundant
Everybody's chasing the good life. Have you found yours?
Abundant is a conversation about the life everyone's looking for — and what's getting in the way. Pastor Dan Jarvis, licensed family therapist Del Fehsenfeld, and other expert guests take on the quiet forces shaping and reshaping American culture. No panic, no partisanship, just honest conversation, ancient wisdom, and surprisingly ordinary ways to fight back.
Abundant is sponsored by Berrien.Life in Southwest Michigan. New episodes at abundant.show.

Fan Mail
As a former chaplain at a county jail, I was particularly struck by your comments on self-governance. Most inmates are lacking in this area from showing up to work regularly, to paying their bills, to refraining from illegal activities. They have not learned to manage their own affairs in a responsible, “good citizen” way.
