Today is the start of our fourth season, and we are changing things up a bit with a new format that will be more reflective, personal, and focused on Soul Care in Anxious Times. This week’s episode is Steve sharing his recent struggles with exhaustion… that deep in the heart, soul weary exhaustion that many of us are struggling with now. It’s a beautiful episode that will speak to your heart and soul and help you find the unforced rhythms of grace.
Episode 65 - Crisis as Invitation for Change
In Steve’s talk today, he discusses the major movements that help us understand change and transformation. They are all based on the timeless image and metaphor of the potter and clay. Form, Reform, Transform, Conform.
These four movements are the story of our lives. In one way or in a mixture of these movements, we are all going to find ourselves on the potter’s wheel.
Episode 64 - Embracing Changing Seasons
Everything is always changing - it’s a given. You could even say that this year there have been more changes than usual!
Ecc. 3:1-8 is all about change - how we need to understand that change is not on our own timetable; that we're not the ones in control of the clock of the universe. This perspective of time in God's hands is what is needed to help us really embrace Soul Care in Difficult, Changing, and Anxious Times.
Episode 63 - Finding Comfort in Trouble
We've all lived through many challenging times in life. And if there ever was a time you might need grace and you might need peace- it's today. It's this week. It's this season of our lives.
Steve weaves this verse and Paul’s story in with our own troubles, and asks the question, how have you experienced the compassion of God in a difficult, anxious time?

Episode 55 - The Imposter: Discovering our True and False Self
For many of us, the Pandemic has served as a mirror, forcing us to take a hard, long look at ourselves.

It is a back and forth that is known in spiritual terms as the True and False Self and is the topic of today’s podcast.

Episode 51 - Surviving Covid-19: Lessons Learned
In today’s world of accusations of “fake news” and the erosion of “who can you trust?”—this podcast is important.

Sharon’s voice and work is important in the world of soul care.
