A Discerning Heart: The Examen
On todays episode we're discussing the spiritual rhythm of The Daily Examen.
The world is a noisy place, full of activity and it can be hard to notice God throughout our day. My hope is that through these podcast episodes you will practice a preference for God and become more attentive and responsive to his constant invitation.

A five-step routine for our daily Examen to remember the five steps:
Request the Spirit to lead me through my review
of the day.
Relish the moments that went well and all the
gifts I have today.
Review the day.
Repent of any mistakes or failures.
Resolve, in concrete ways, to live tomorrow well.
Additional Questions:
Have I let fear guide my actions?
Where have I experienced the freedom in Christ today?
Did I waste time when I could have been spending more time
reading God's word?
Did I put God first today, make time for prayer, remember to
offer Him my joys and sufferings?
Did I make time to rest, pray, and spend time with my
family?
God, where did I see you in my home? In my daily chores? In
my morning routines?
God, where did I see you on my commute? In the day's comings
and goings?
Where did I encounter you in my meals, shared or alone,
quick or leisurely?
Where was I ungrateful?
Where did I pass by too quickly?
Where did I miss your presence?
When did I fail to love others as you love me?
With regards to social media and the digital life:
How are you called to respond in productive ways to what you
witness?
Do you feel pressured to nonetheless? Feeling driven by the
flesh or led by the Spirit?
With your own media - In your own words and images, do you
share something good and true, or do you tear others down or point only to
yourself?
Are you obsessed over clicks, likes and retweets?
Do you share only to boost your own ego or “Personal Brand” ?
How are you contributing to a culture that refuses to take a
“long, loving look at the real?” What feelings are you trying to stir in
others?
