While Andy was cleaning out her home library earlier this year, the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear literally jumped off the shelf into her hands. And it's like the old saying goes, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." It was just the thing she needed to put the jumper cables on some health goals that have been eluding her. In this episode she shares the top 3 insights she gleaned by revisiting Clear's work and how you can use these in service of achieving big goals.

Mentioned on this episode:

Have you ever walked away from a conversation (whether in-person or virtually) wondering what you possibly could have said or done to make someone soooooooo angry with you? And because it may not be obvious, you're left guessing what would motivate them to lash out at you? It may just be that your spirit irritated their demons. Today's episode invites you to tune in take a page out of a poker player's book by looking at "tells" in the spiritual life for what is from the bad spirit and how to navigate the relationship when it is.

In this episode:

[00:00:27] Spiritual warfare in relationships. [00:04:01] Discernment of spirits. [00:08:47] Truth vs. Relativity. [00:12:52] Decoding people's words. [00:18:02] Love Your Enemies [00:22:35] Speaking the truth.

On today's bonus episode I'm opening up the mailbag on one of the questions I'm often asked…."How do I find a spiritual director?" It would seem the harvest of those seeking spiritual direction is plenty while the directors are few. Join me today on my walk down the trail as I share five practical + prayerful tips on connecting with a spiritual director.

The goal of the Christian life is to live out our true identity as beloved daughters and sons of the Father. To that we have to understand there is a spiritual battle. AND the best way to defend ourselves is to feel every good AND bad feeling with Jesus. Today's episode gives a practical example by way of a natural birth after Caesarean (VBAC) story on how to anchor the spiritual consolations + good feelings with Jesus.

In this episode:

[2:05] Directed silent Ignatian retreats

[16:50] The Business of Being Born Documentary

[19;12] "When God puts a vision on your heart and it's truly from (Him), he's going to remove the obstacles....and the really cool part about how he does things is he's not limited by our circumstances. He'll use everything at his disposal.."

[29:50] "Sitting with the Baby" practice + invitation to anchor the good feelings

*Please note: this episode is not intended to be used as medical advice rather Andy sharing her personal labor and delivery experiences. Thank you.

As parents we have a special, spiritual authority to pray against evil on our children's behalf in the name of Jesus. Whether they are still practicing the faith. Whether they ask us to or not. Whether they know we are doing it or not. And no matter how old they may be. A parent's prayers of command in Jesus's name are especially efficacious. Today's episode offers a real-life example of when I put these prayers into play and what happened next. (This episode was initially shared with my Soulful Sunday community on March 12, 2023).

Note: In the episode I mention that in confession the priest cuts ties with those forces that are afflicting us. It is important to clarify it is JESUS working through the priest who cuts the ties.
