In the series conclusion, Johh, Stasi, Stacey, and Allen talk about humorous stories from past summer blunders they've made....while offering counsel for how not to make similar mistakes. The goal isn't to fill your summer with activities or put all your hopes on one vacation, but to ask Jesus, What is the pace that you have for me this summer? Show Note: The closing reading is from Every Moment Holy by Douglas Kaine McKelvey.

Summer Soul Care

Summer is the ideal time for evening walks, family vacations, barbecues, and a slower pace of life. But when we forget to ask God what our souls need most, our desire for joy and rest can turn to disappointment and exhaustion. In the first half of this series, John, Stasi, Stacey, and Allen share how to take the pressure off, play the long game, and leave margin for the unexpected this summer.

What's an Ordinary Mystic? We Answer Your Questions!

In the series conclusion, John, Alex, and Allen reveal how God alone is our refuge. We're meant to live within the safety of God, drawing our nourishment from our union with him. Not only believing in God, but living within him. Yet the world constantly pulls us out of this habitat while conditioning us to stay lost. So how do we find our way home? The life of the ordinary mystic will help us get back. Show Notes: In this podcast, John references the books Every Moment Holy (Douglas Kaine McKelvey) and Waiting on God (Andrew Murray) as well as author Evelyn Underhill. _______________________________________________ Got a podcast question?

Gimme Shelter

Being a Christian mystic was never meant to be something exceptional or rare. In Part 4 of the series, John, Alex, and Allen swap stories about what it looks like to live as ordinary, everyday mystics and how we're all meant to know God and the beauty of his kingdom in deep, profound ways. In this light, the Apostle John, St. Paul, and David were all mystics; certainly Adam and Eve were as well. Once we understand Christian mysticism as the daily experience of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, we can experience the normal life of an ordinary mystic. The book John referenced is A Wind in the House of Islam by David Garrison. The Prayer of Descent Podcast that John referenced can be found here.
