SHOW NOTES

We are continuing the conversation with Steve in Part 2 of 12 Foundations to Care for your Soul.

STEVE: These days, I find myself bothered by multiple voices all trying to be heard. I’m realizing that the only voices I want to, need to and trust these days are the ones who have credibility. They must have lived life; revealed a brokenness in their souls and walk with a limp to have credibility. I need to just pass on the many social influencers and newbies yelling through their posts to be heard. I find myself growing deaf to such clamor. How about you?

Thank you for joining us today!

    Keep me, O God, because in you I take refuge!

     

    O Lord, you are my inheritance and my cup My destiny is safe in your hands I always have the Lord before my eyes Because if I have you by my side, I do not hesitate

    My soul rejoices with joy

    And even my body at rest is calm

    For you will not leave me delivered to death Nor will your friend know corruption

     

    You teach me your way to life

    Eternal delight and joy at your side

    Together with you unlimited happiness

    Eternal delight and joy at your side

    Bless the Lord, O my soul

SHOW NOTES

Many of us seemed hard wired to do, do, and do more. Changing this requires a long, slow rewiring of our minds at the cellular level.

It is not acquired by reading quotes, attending conferences or transferring an addiction of accomplishing more and more to the spiritual life.

Steve talks with author Alan Fadling about his beautiful book, A Year of Slowing Down: Daily Devotions for Unhurried Living

A year of slowing. I like it and you will also!

Today’s Guest - Alan Fadling

Alan is a founding partner of Unhurried Living, Inc, a non-profit that trains people to rest deeper, live fuller and lead better. Alan is a trained spiritual director and leadership consultant, and the author of the award-winning books An Unhurried Life and An Unhurried Leader, which was honored with a Christianity Today Award of Merit in spirituality. He is also coauthor (with Gem Fadling) of What Does Your Soul Love?

SHOW NOTES

We are approaching a new season. The days will get longer now. The darkness will be more and more dispelled. The days of Lent are near. Easter is coming, but not yet.

Lent is a time for self-examination and reflection - it is the 40 days leading up to Easter. In these 40 days, we are invited to look deeper and to look within. It's a time of humbling ourselves and recognizing what is most dead in us -- and with that, what needs to come alive in us!

And that is why Potter’s Inn and Steve has created a resource that will guide you in those 40 days of self-examination and reflection, called 40 Days, 40 Miles, 40 Questions: A Lenten Journey.

On today’s podcast episode, Steve explains this new resource in depth and why 40 Questions in 40 Miles for 40 Days: A Lenten Journey is a spiritual practice that engages the body, heart, mind, and soul.

Thanks for joining us today!

SHOW NOTES

Aspen trees are a beautiful sight in the Western US. But did you know you will never find an aspen tree growing alone in a natural setting? Aspen trees grow in community. Their roots are intertwined under the ground, making a grove of trees into one big tree.

The story of Lazarus echoes the spiritual lesson of the aspen grove: we cannot grow alone. We were never meant to remain alone as we emerge from the tomb. As we learn from Lazarus, we see that our roots intertwine with others. Jesus calls us to embrace a “grove” of people and allow a community of friends to help us change.

Join us in this conversation on the importance of community in each of our lives.

“Beauty. Some forms of beauty calm us, others excite us, but all tend to grab our attention and intrigue us enough to have an affect. Beauty of course comes in many forms beyond the human face and form. From the landscape, seascape, and skyscape to the wonders of music, art, math, and science, we’re surrounded by reminders of the deeper things, the higher things, the truest things in life and beyond. Let’s make sure we steep ourselves in a recognition and enjoyment of the many and varied beauties around us, small and large. Then, we'll be likelier to act in more beautiful ways, in all things.” —Tom Morris

The first part of our podcast is the rest of the discussion on Beauty with Steve and Tom Morris in this inspiring and rich conversation on Beauty.

The second half of the podcast is a reading and discussion of John O’Donahue’s poem A New Beginning. Joe and Steve have a heartfelt talk about it’s meaning for all of us.

SHOW NOTES

When it comes to understanding the Enneagram, it's time to consider a shift and deepening of how this tool can enhance our spiritual journey. There's been such a 'fad phase' in the past decade about the Enneagram that it has left many of us wondering... what is the real point of knowing ourselves better?

Marilyn Vancil and Steve discuss this much needed shift and her new book, Beyond the Enneagram. Steve and Marilyn explore the themes of the book--a re-centering of our self orientation to a God orientation. They discuss:

  • Moving from What I am to Who I am

  • Moving from Reaction to Responsive

  • From bondage to Freedom

  • From Wounded to Whole

  • From Shakable to unshakable

  • And from Being burdened to rested--Steve's favorite chapter and worth the price of the book in one chapter!

SHOW NOTES

Welcome to Season 8 of the Soul Care Conversations podcast!

Today Steve delves into Matthew 11:28-30 and the question of being ‘yoked to Jesus.‘

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV)

Thanks for joining us in the conversation!
