Shepherds of the Wilderness - A Return to the Royal Way

We were led to a deserted spot on the edge of the forest and reflected on the "Apocalyptic Wilderness" of our times using the "Parable of the Leaping Deer." Are we running away from having an encounter with God?

A bonus update from the wilderness. Hear a reflection on "The Currupt Tree" and our call amidst the storm of our days.

It can be tempting to speak ill of others when they are not around and to become grumblers of bad news. But if we believe what we believe, then we should be bringers of joy-giving news!

Listen in to why this young artist unplugs in order to create!

Continuing from our previous 'Holy Spring' episode, we discuss how the black screen has separated us from our true nature in Christ! Cultivate a new heart in God's most Holy Spirit while you still can!

An update from the grounds with various sounds from the ever growing array of springtime birds! We also meditate on the Garden of Eden and what it means to "Cultivate the Heart."

Continuing our discussion on Spiritual Elders, we converse about our time spent in the woods and some of our new found neighbors who hang and sing atop the trees (a porcupine & lots of birds!)

For those who seek to Return to the Royal Way of life, it is necessary to ask council from those who have walked it before us, while patiently enduring all that befalls us and learning from it.

In our return to the royal way, it is necessary to become ever watchful and begin to guard our spiritual heart. St. Hesychios, whose name means "Stillness", speaks to us the importance of inner attentiveness and spiritual vigilance in our lives.

In this segment we hear from the mother of the house break down what it means to be a true follower of the Way in a world of constant consumption. We also share a couple rays of light from our own upbringing. Thanks for listening.
