If you're like me, your inner critic can be pretty noisy and discouraging. Which is why, sometimes, it's important to remember what you like about yourself. To remember that God not only loves you, but likes you, too. As we continue becoming the people God calls us to be, we can also remember God's delight in who we already are.

Today, if you find the voice of your inner critic booming and loud, listen in. And you might even get to hear a few things I like about myself, too :)

In today's episode, we read about the night Jesus washed his disciples' feet and the example he set in doing so. As we look back, reflect, and remember this humble act of Jesus, we are invited to consider together the kind of posture Jesus invites us to assume; the kind of life Jesus invites us to live.

Today, if you are longing for a seat at the head of the table, listen in.

Whether we recognize it or not, experiencing forms of emptiness is part of our reality as human beings. And the good news is, we can be honest about it. We can name our need.

The even better news is that our honesty is never without hope. Our faith gives us reason to believe emptiness has potential. It reminds us that ours is a God of wild imagination, creativity, opportunity, and fresh possibility. A God who often does God's best work with broken things in empty spaces.

Today, if you are running on empty in one way or another, listen in.

It can be easy to feel anger toward certain people, toward systems, toward sin. But what about when we feel anger toward God? When prayers seemingly go unanswered, when illness isn't healed, when suffering lingers, when circumstances don't change? Are we even allowed to admit we sometimes feel that way?

I'm learning that God can handle our anger and that God welcomes our honesty, and that is a beautiful thing. If you've ever been mad at God, listen in.

As we begin the season of Lent this year, I need to remember why we observe it. Most of the time, I'd rather skip ahead to the celebration instead of understanding why we celebrate. I'd rather enjoy the garden instead of digging in and tending to the dirt. I'd rather bask in the beauty instead of acknowledging the reality of the ashes.

But Lent is an opportunity to be honest and intentionally notice the presence of God in the midst of the ashes. As we begin this holy season, I hope you'll listen in.

When life feels overwhelming, I find Centering Prayer to be a helpful practice/tool. While it can be awkward and difficult at the beginning, the more we engage in and practice Centering Prayer, the more we move toward our lives becoming centered prayers. We remember who God is and how God works, and we are mindful of who God is calling us to be. We live lives anchored in that truth, even when the waves of life might threaten to toss us to and fro.

Today, if you're feeling the effects of a chaotic life, listen in.

I don't know if you can relate, but it seems we've forgotten the difference between pain and discomfort. That we've somehow confused staying rightly staying within our safety zone and rightly stepping outside our comfort zone.

I'm learning to pay attention to the difference between the warning of pain and the invitation of discomfort.

As we come to know and trust the heart of God more fully, we develop the courage to lean in to the discomfort. And when we do, we stretch. We grow. We learn. We heal. We gain new understanding. And we continue becoming the people God calls us to be.

If you aren't sure what to do with the discomfort you feel, listen in.

As we settle into the new year, I'm holding onto a small handful of personal unknowns, and the planner in me doesn't quite know how to be. Maybe you can relate?

Whether we choose the uncertainty or not, we feel the ache that often accompanies the not knowing, the fear in the pits of our stomachs in the middle of the night, the disorientation of not knowing what's next.

As we navigate this thing called life, I'm choosing to remember that we might not have a map, but we do have a Guide. And that makes all the difference. Listen in.

It's the last episode of 2021!

Recently, I've been reminded that God is very much in the details. It's easy for me to think of God and search for God in broad strokes, thinking that God is present in generalities or big movements. But I'm learning that God is also intimately acquainted with the details of who we each uniquely are, and even in the details of our daily lives.

May we remember that the details are in God's hands this season. Listen in.

Generally speaking, life for me often feels very scattered. Like a jar of marbles spilled and rolling every which way across hardwood floors, my focus, my attention, my thoughts often feel divided and all over the place. And in a world that seems to thrive on the frenzy of multi-tasking, I wonder if there could be another way.

What might it look like to live a gathered life? To be a gathered person? Fully present, fully known, fully loved? Listen in.
