About this episode

A conversation with Andrew Peterson about creating art from seasons of darkness and various life topics.

An early conversation with one of our favorite guests. This “Best of” episode is from the first few years of this show’s existence–back when it was called Signposts–with a guest we’ve had on many times since, Andrew Peterson. The conversation was recorded in 2016 (without cameras, so you won’t be able to watch this one on YouTube) in front of a live audience. You’ll hear shifting in seats, coughing, and even the sound of soda cans being opened.  The conversation wasn’t centered on a new book or new music or some new project, it was just an agendaless exchange about creating art from seasons of darkness, Buechner (par for the course with Russell and Andrew), burnout in leadership, marriage, and more.  Take a seat, grab a Diet Coke, and enjoy this conversation with Andrew Peterson.
