Skye is out of town this week so we're re-releasing one of his early Skyepod episodes with improv coach Jeff Ash. (Sorry, there is no video of this conversation)

Most people think improv is about being quick and funny, but what if it’s really about learning to listen, let go of control, and trust the people around you? Skye talks with Jeff Ash, founder of Westside Improv Theater, about how the principles of improv, like saying yes and, can shape our parenting, our faith, and even our view of God.

So glad you pulled this one out of the vault. I hadn’t heard it before. I think, in my case anyway, that what you two shared in this episode rings truer now in my 50s than it would have had I heard it in, let’s say, my 30s. The vanity & futility in trying to live our lives & our faith lives according to a script seems increasingly foolish. The gift you two offered in this talk invites me to live with less cynicism & a more open heart.

Amen to the humanity required for being “present”!

Why did you say the woman at the well was hiding her true self? The scripture doesn't say that, and I know that many bible scholars have interpreted her story as one of sin. I think her story is one of tragedy. Which husbands died? (A very real possibility.) What silly reasons did any of the husbands give for divorcing her and why? (Wives almost never could divorce husbands.) And the man she lives with now -- why assume they are having sex? He could be saving her from resorting to prostitution for survival.
