SHOW NOTES
In a time of stress, crisis and the pandemic, one of the greatest needs that is being uncovered in us is simply this: We need a WAY to get through this? That’s the question we tackle in this important podcast with Chad Hollowell. Chad is the Global Director for United World Mission located in Charlotte. Steve and Chad are forging a friendship and this conversation is the fruit of their questions about how to we find a way to move forward.
This conversation is based on the historic way of life called, a “Rule of Life” developed by St. Benedict 1600 years ago. Benedict developed a “regula” or “rule” to help establish healthy boundaries for people intending to live in community.
This conversation is deep and we offer a FREE PDF of how to develop a rule of life which you’ll want to download and work on as soon as you can - it is in the notes.
We hope and trust that this podcast will be a helpful encouragement as well as much needed resource.
It may be helpful to do an EMERGENCY RULE OF LIFE right now during our world pandemic but what we already know is that you’ll want to return to this time and time again when the “new normal” is defined for you!
