I don't have the greenest thumb nor do I enjoy gardening. But when I started a garden a year ago, I was amazed at how much it made me think we all need to be replanted at times.

S.2 Episode 32 - Practice the Contemplative Season Finale
Monday Oct 05, 2020
Monday Oct 05, 2020
On this, the season two finale, I encourage us to practice the contemplative in order that we might discover the Divine.
If you want to become more connected, more aware, less anxious, less distracted, then practice the contemplative.
If you want a faith that is rekindled, a healing balm for your wounded soul, a life that is transformed, then practice the contemplative.
This will be the last episode in Season Two, but I have dreams and hopes for Season Three, which will be short stories and reflections on how to discover the Divine in all things all around us.
Yes, I said short. None of this 2-hour podcast interviews (who's got time for that). Instead, just a story that I hope will allow you to discover ways in which God is nearer to you than you could hope.
I'll be taking a bit of time to write and compile those episodes and will be back soon. Until then, subscribe, share, and leave a review of the podcast!
