Show Notes

What happens to your soul when the systems that train you run on efficiency, measurement, and output? Artist and author Bette Dickinson joins host Bill Reichart for a rich and unhurried conversation about spiritual flourishing in a productivity-driven culture — and why the vineyard, not the factory floor, is a far truer image of how God forms us. Bette unpacks the vital difference between bearing fruit and truly flourishing, examines how medical training quietly reshapes our image of God, and offers a life-giving alternative for the student, resident, or healthcare professional who feels like their formation has been hijacked by metrics. Whether you’re running on empty or just sensing that something deeper is missing, this conversation is an invitation to receive the long, patient work of the Vinedresser.
