401: Finding Peace in Daily Chaos
Every time I do a reader and listener survey, one of the themes that always seems to emerge is that of peace: it's what people are lacking and what they seem to most want. But what do we really mean when we say it? And is it possible to access peace in the midst of chaos? Let's talk about it. Listen in.

398: Journaling Through Grief
One of the spiritual practices I turn to often is journaling. It helps me process my thoughts, know what I think, and write what I know. But when I'm in the middle of a difficult time, particularly when I'm navigating through grief, I've discovered I have a more difficult time writing complete sentences. Over the years I've learned a few things that have helped me to not drop the practice of journaling altogether. I'd love to share them in case they are helpful for you too. Listen in.

Instead, it begins with looking to the past. But then what do you do with what you see? I submit you begin to look for arrows. If you are in a season of considering what might be next in your own life and need a bit of a starting point, this episode is for you. Listen in.

395: Find a Spiritual Practice That Fits Your Life
When it comes to spiritual practice, it helps me to remember that the goal is not to be good at spiritual practice. The goal is union with God, connection with each other, and love. I've been on a long path over the years of unlearning and relearning what spiritual practices are meant for and how to enter into it as a gift rather than a burden. Listen in.
