In our first episode, we talk about the importance of spiritual disciplines in light of COVID-19. For the rest of this season, we’ll emphasize specific practices we can lean into while under quarantine.

Highlights:

[3:00] “Go sit in your cell and your cell will teach you everything” --Ronald Rolheiser

[5:10] What if (this quarantine) became a mini-habit building time? ...What if our lives looked different when all of this is done?

[8:01] “Spiritual formation is the process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others” --Robert Mulholland

[10:30] Spiritual practices are pushing back against all of the other practices forming me...If I am not intentional with spiritual practices, I am being formed into a selfish, individualistic person.

[12:00] Spiritual practices...reveal who you really are when a crisis comes.
