The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

In this deeply moving conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with Summer Joy Gross, author of The Emmanuel Promise and host of The Presence Project Podcast, to talk about attachment, delight, childhood wounds, and the life-changing truth that God is not distant or disinterested, but fully present with us in our pain, our parenting, and our becoming. This episode is tender, wise, and immensely practical—an invitation to notice how a child’s inner world is shaped, how our own stories affect the way we relate to God, and how healing often begins with being seen, soothed, and loved. Find Summer at A Thirst for God, on Instagram, and through The Presence Project community .

In this fascinating conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with MacKenzie Price, founder of 2 Hour Learning and co-founder of Alpha School, to talk about what happens when kids stop spending their best hours trapped in an outdated system and start using that time to actually live. Together they explore personalized learning, the promise and tension of AI, the loss of childhood margin, and why giving kids their time back may be one of the most hopeful ideas in education right now. If you’ve ever wondered whether school could look more human, more effective, and more aligned with real life, this episode will leave you energized, challenged, and imagining something better. Alpha’s model centers on “2 Hour Learning,” where core academics are completed in about two hours and the rest of the day is opened up for life skills, projects, and real-world experiences.

Danielle Kartes returns for her third visit to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, and this conversation is about so much more than food. Ginny Yurich and Danielle talk about cooking with kids, making do with what you have, learning through failure, feeding people as an act of love, and the surprising ways ordinary kitchen work builds confidence, resilience, creativity, and connection. They also dive into Danielle’s joyful new children’s cookbook, My Very First Baking Book, her work on Next Level Chef, and the deeper story underneath it all: that a beautiful life is often built with imperfect ingredients, open hands, and the courage to keep creating anyway.

Find Danielle at Rustic Joyful Food, explore My Very First Baking Book and My Very First Cookbook.

Wendy Speake joins Ginny Yurich for a rich, honest conversation about the quiet ways modern distractions shape our homes, our attention, and our souls. Drawing from The 40-Day Social Media Fast, The 40-Day Sugar Fast, and Triggers, Wendy shares why a wanting life never leads to a satisfied life, how putting down our phones helps us lift our eyes to God and the people right in front of us, and why small acts of self-control can change the whole atmosphere of a family. This episode is thoughtful, practical, and deeply encouraging for any parent who wants more peace, more presence, and a more grounded way to live.
