Lists of Nine with Charlotte Donlon

9 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 4 years ago -

Sometimes it’s hard to notice what God is up to in our lives and the world around us. It’s too easy to be distracted by everything else. List of Nine host Charlotte Donlon believes developing our curiosity can help us notice the presence of God. She invites you to inhabit a posture of curiosity while her guests talk about a list of nine (not necessarily spiritual) things for nine minutes. Several studies have shown curiosity can also make us happier, cultivate our creativity, expand our empathy, and strengthen our relationships. So, consider Lists of Nine a curiosity booster for a better life. You can learn more about Lists of Nine at charlottedonlon.com. And you can find Lists of Nine on Instagram at @listsofnine.
