Listen Later

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Brian Russell, the author of Centering Prayer. Brian is a return guest to the show. I’m grateful he agreed to come back on to have a conversation on The Discipline of Discernment. Brian is a professor of biblical studies and a transformational coach for pastors and spiritually-minded professionals.

In the conversation, Brian and I discuss:

  • What is discernment
  • The obstacles to discerning wisely
  • How contemplative practices help us discern
  • Navigating Life’s questions
  • The wisdom of discernment and much more

  • Brian also has a podcast called The Deep Dive Spirituality Conversations podcast

    You can learn more about Brian’s work at brianrussellphd.com.
