About this listen

 Between Sundays is a short, midweek, solo reflection. No guests. No outline. No pressure. Hosted by Chris Strother, it’s a quieter space for thoughts that don’t belong in a hosted conversation — ideas still forming, observations worth naming, and moments from ordinary life that invite a little attention. Recorded between Sundays. Social Sciences Spirituality

    When Things Don't Go As Planned
    Jan 21 2026
    Plans fall apart. Sometimes in small, inconvenient ways. Sometimes in ways that change everything. In this first episode of *Between Sundays*, I reflect on what happens when life doesn’t cooperate — from a missed appointment to events no amount of preparation could ever prevent. Panic feels natural in those moments, but it isn’t inevitable. While we can’t control much of what happens to us, we *can* control our outlook, our attitude, and our actions. A short reflection on preparation, perspective, and choosing steadiness when the day goes off script.

  • We Don't Cause Growth

    We Don't Cause Growth
    Jan 28 2026
    Between Sundays — We Don’t Cause Growth We often talk about growth as something we produce. We grow businesses. We grow families. We grow churches. We grow ourselves. But growth doesn’t actually work that way. In this episode of Between Sundays, I reflect on the difference between causing growth and tending the conditions where growth is possible. Using the simple picture of a farmer and a seed, we explore the limits of our control — and the responsibility we still carry. This is a quiet conversation about patience, stewardship, and humility. About parenting, spiritual formation, and life in general. And about learning to do the work that is ours… while releasing the outcomes that never were.

  • Pressure Doesn't Change You

    Pressure Doesn't Change You
    Feb 12 2026
    We often say things like “money changes people” or “pressure brings out a different side of them.” But what if that isn’t true? In this episode of Between Sundays, I challenge the idea that success, hardship, or stress fundamentally changes who we are. Instead, I explore a quieter—and more uncomfortable—truth: pressure doesn’t create character, it reveals it. Using a simple illustration and everyday examples of money, stress, and scarcity, this reflection asks what’s really being exposed when life squeezes us. If two people face the same pressure and respond differently, maybe the pressure isn’t the source at all. This episode isn’t about fear of change—it’s about preparation for it. Because pressure is inevitable. Success and hardship both arrive in time. And the real work happens long before either shows up.
