Midge and her wife, along with their fur babies, enjoy spending time at their mountain cabin, hiking, and being with their friends. 

     In today's episode I talk about the difference between hope and belief.  I try to answer the question of how do we pray when we don't feel as if we have either one?  I reference a wonderful book on prayers that says the things that we are all feeling and does so in such a beautiful way.

     In today's episode I talk about praying for our enemies!  What?! Hear me out, ha ha. Seriously, as a follower of Jesus I know that my sacred responsibility is to love and I can't do that when I am raging at an individual or a group of people. I can stand up and resist, and yet, how do we stay in our sacred heart and walk the talk of Jesus while resisting?  I offer a special technique that I have learned to radiate that sacred light to those whom we call, enemies.

  • Going Deeper w/ Pastor Fran Leeman!

    Fran Leeman is the founding pastor of LifeSpring Church in Plainfield, Illinois.  Along with his wife, Linda, and a few good friends, he has led this church for over 30 years.  Fran is also the founder of New Life for Haiti.  Fran's book, The Everybody Gospel, chronicles his journey from a conservative evangelical mindset to embracing a bigger and more beautiful God, a richer understanding of the gospel, and those in the LGBTQ community.
     
    In today's episode we go deeper into the journey of Pastor Fran and the congregation of LifeSpring Church as they thoughtfully and prayerfully dug deep into the clobber verses in the Bible to see Jesus in those sacred scriptures that seemed to exclude the LGBTG community. Pastor Fran's book, The Everybody Gospel is an account of their brave journey to step out of what they had been taught and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through the scriptures resulting in choosing inclusion of all God's children into their church.

     In today's episode I talk about the sacred story quilts of our lives.  What are sacred story quilts? How have the God winks in our lives affected us?  Have we noticed? Are we God winks for other people?  Is someone pulling us by puppet strings?  Ponder with me today how we can be a source of compassion and kindness in a world that is oozing with hate as we are weaved into a the story quilts of all the people we meet along our way.

We can be the change for our own wellness.
