Join Lisa and Laura as they continue a four-part series on the Feminine Genius. There are four components in the feminine genius: receptivity, sensitivity, generosity, and maternity. Each week, through the writings of Saint Edith Stein, personal stories, and the Word of God, Lisa and Laura will unpack one of these components. This is week three, and we are diving into generosity! Sounds lovely enough, but the reality is that this call to generosity is countercultural, and not as easy as we'd like to believe. Why should women buy into generosity, and what are its obstacles? You'll have to tune in to find out. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Malachi 3:10–11: Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil; and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Matthew 25:35–36: For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison, and you came to me. Luke 10:38–42: Jesus Visits Martha and Mary Acts 20:35: It is more blessed to give than to receive. Matthew 10:8: Freely you have received; freely give. (NIV) Matthew 25:40: As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. What are your greatest obstacles to being generous? Use the questions from Jan Johnson as your guide:  Am I serving to impress anyone? Am I serving to receive external rewards? Is my service affected by moods and whims? Am I using this service to feel good about myself? Am I using my service to muffle God's voice demanding I change? Our presenting sponsor is Hallow.

What might it look like to use our imaginations in the context of our faith? Well, with wise guardrails and discernment in place, I wonder if our experience and connection with God and with one another can be enriched through our imaginations. Maybe we can channel our imaginations for good. So what might it look like to reawaken our imagination through spiritual practice? Well, there are probably lots of possibilities, but for this particular episode, I'd like to offer two. One that could be helpful as we seek a deeper connection with God and one that might help as we seek to do good and love our neighbor well.

"Growing in our relational knowledge of how to connect and love requires a lot of practice. And it requires deliberate practice. We need to focus on specific outcomes that stretch us beyond our current relational knowledge and spiritual maturity level. We need to rely on methods taught in Scripture and developed by spiritual masters further down the road" (Todd W. Hall, The Connected Life).  In the early morning hours, Janell found herself tossing and turning. With a God whisper in her ear, she released her desire to stay nestled under the comforter and instead got up and found her Bible. In this unplanned, unexpected episode, Janell shares the deep love of God in the words penned in Psalm 63. She found herself asking, "Do I really believe these words?" In true Lectio Divina fashion, Janell reads Psalm 63, inviting you to ask yourself the same question, "Do I really believe these words?"
