Episode #1: On Curiosity and Coloring Books

It's our first episode! We're excited to share Crosswalk.com's newest endeavor with you and tell you why we're excited to be starting a podcast. Barnabas Piper, author of The Curious Christian, sat down with Steve McGarvey this week to share why he's become so interested in the idea of curiosity, and it sparked a conversation among our editors on how curiosity relates to our faith, work, interests, and more. We chat about one particularly curious phenomenon making waves in Christian circles recently as well -- coloring books. Are they silly? Spiritual? Worth doing? Find out which editors like them, and which one says they just aren't interested.
