Mike McHargue - You're a Miracle (and a Pain in the Ass) (N216)

<p><a href="https://mikemchargue.com">Mike McHargue</a> is the host of the podcast <a href="https://asksciencemike.com">Ask Science Mike</a>, co-founded of the <a href= "https://theliturgists.com/podcast">The Liturgists Podcast</a> and author of <a href= "https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finding-God-Waves-through-science/dp/147365369X/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=mike+mchargue&qid=1582797499&sr=8-2"> Finding God in the Waves</a>. He’s a public educator who weaves together insights from science and faith to help people navigate what it means to live well.</p> <p>We ask Mike the question that scientists, philosophers, theologians and self-help gurus have wrestled with for thousands of years: why we do the things we do? Or rather, why we so often don't do the things that we want to do! Why, for example, do we binge Netflix when we know taking a walk outside would be better for us, or why do we scroll Facebook when our real friends live just down the street. Drawing on science, personal revelation, and spiritual insight, Mike shows us how to live more at peace with ourselves and the world around us.</p> <p>Interview starts at 16m 47s. </p> <p>If you want more from Nomad, check out our <a href= "http://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/">website</a>, and follow us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/nomadpodcast">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/nomadpodcast">twitter.</a></p> <p>Nomad can only keep going because a small group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
