As the monks tend their barley fields and ferment their yeast, they remind us that stewardship is not abstract theology but a daily, delectable act of worship—bringing creation (and a good grains) to its joyful, God-intended end. A profound practice of creation care as they shepherd grapes, grain, water, and land. They also know how to practice silence in a noisy, overstimulated world.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle continue their conversation with Marty Tomzak, author of Time, Silence, and Yeast—transitioning to sacramental stewardship and silence. Head on over to Whole Foods and grab a Trappist beer (or a Voodoo Ranger), settle in, and join us for a conversation that tastes like communion: earthy, thoughtful, hopeful, and full of ordinary grace.
