The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

English poet, singer-songwriter, Anglican priest, academic, YouTube sensation, and bestselling author Malcolm Guite joins us today! In this episode we explore why stories, poetry, imagination, and childhood wonder matter more than ever in an age of algorithms and artificial intelligence. From climbing trees with a wooden sword to reading great books aloud as a family, Malcolm makes a compelling case that the things shaping our humanity are the very things technology can never replace. This episode is an invitation to recover beauty, rediscover the classics, and remember that the richest life is still lived with real people in the real world.

Matt Smallbone is here to talk about unanswered prayers, raising children, forgiveness, loss, and how sometimes the hardest seasons of life can become the beginning of something deeper. Matt shares the simple practice that transformed his own faith after years of feeling disappointed and disconnected, and why Jesus' words are still changing lives two thousand years later. Whether you're full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, this conversation is thoughtful, hopeful, and one you'll be thinking about long after it ends.

There was a time when almost everyone knew how to grow food, preserve it, and fill a pantry that could carry a family through every season. Somewhere along the way, many of us lost those skills and we also lost the confidence that comes from knowing how to care for ourselves and the people we love. In this conversation, food preservation expert Diane Devereaux shares how to bring those traditions back. You'll learn how to eat better, living more intentionally, and passing practical wisdom to the next generation. We talk about gardening, canning, freeze drying, seasonal eating, food security, preserving water, caring for pets, and why a single jar of homemade strawberry jam can make the middle of winter feel like pure joy. This episode will leave you inspired to start wherever you are.

Your body remembers long before you ever learned the words to explain what you were feeling. In this conversation, licensed professional counselor and author AC Seiple shares why so many of us mistake constant stress for normal life. We talk about parts of AC's story where she moved constantly as a child, she walked on two broken feet as a adult without realizing they were broken. We discuss what happens inside us after frightening experiences and why time outdoors is one of the best places to begin finding our footing again. This episode will help you understand yourself with more compassion and offer a hopeful path toward living with a little more ease, presence, and wholeness.

Some of us spend so much time trying not to repeat our childhood that we forget we're allowed to enjoy raising our own kids. In this wonderful conversation, trauma psychologist Dr. Robyn Koslowitz explains how the experiences we carry from childhood can shape the way we parent. We talk about the "trauma of absence," why repair matters more than getting everything right, how screens steal presence, and the blessed truth that simple family game nights can be part of recovery. If you've ever experienced whether your past is affecting your parenting, this episode offers wisdom and guidance. Connect with Dr. Robyn Koslowitz at posttraumaticparenting.com
