How to Accept Your Life and Support For YOUSometimes life is challenging and can feel like an uphill battle making us foggy, confused, overwhelmed, and angry. However, allowing yourself to feel whatever you need to feel and be in the moment is being human, and the deeper you feel it, the more you feel the good side of it, and this is acceptance.Acceptance is not easy, and it's all about accepting what is coming in and resting in the present moment so you can make decisions to support how you want to feel and, ultimately, how you want to live your life. Acceptance is not passive resignation or condoning what happened or is happening right now. It's a radical acceptance and a shift in how you look at your life, what has happened, what is happening, and accepting the truth. In this episode, Tina shares more about acceptance to help you look at everything in your life with a purpose. Learn how to tap into your experiences, solve and evolve. The only way to make beneficial decisions for your soul journey is to be in the moment. Stop focusing on something you did or something you're afraid it's going to happen, and start seeking acceptance and significance to stay grounded on your path. Get prepared to connect the peace, serenity, calm, and clarity needed to get out of the cycle of suffering and regret. Your experiences are there for you to work with, and accepting them gives you the freedom to live in the moment.

I don't think sin is a birthright. I don't think it is original to us at all. Don't get me wrong, this world is a dumpster fire of hate and violence, greed and arrogance, exclusion and self-harm. Evil is in the air we breathe. But, that's the thing. It's in the air, not in us. God made us and called us good. Everything else — the evil, the hatred — is a lie we buy into from our earliest moments. Our egos tell us to be something we were never made to be. Our self-protective coverings insist that we can make ourselves into something valuable by rejecting the value of those around us. But none of that is true to the sacred center of us.  Let's talk about the good that grows in all of us. -- Links: This reflection and practice were also published this week in The Slow Way Newsletter.

Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am. – Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation Our stories do not define us; the Author of them does.  It's a profound truth and reality that takes many tears, much blood, and many years to fully participate in.  Tommy Colwell is one of the men heroically participating in this reality. Through the ups and downs, the triumphs and tragedies, the breakthroughs and dead ends, he has discovered, looking back, that throughout his story he has been led.  Deeply. Strongly. Abundantly.  By a Father who is far more kind and loving than we dared to believe.  How does a man abandoned and abused in childhood, suffering a profound lack of attachment, become a conduit of the Father-heart of God to not only offer to a family what he never had, but also shepherd the hearts of over a thousand individual fallen pastors into restoration and repair? Come along to witness and participate in a living miracle as we dive into Part 2 of this rich story of God fathering a boy, initiating a man, and raising up a seasoned sage.  For the Kingdom, Morgan

Today on the Podcast we have Ashtin Larkin. Ashtin is a West Virginia University soccer alumni and now she works as a forensic specialist in the long beach area in California. We talk about what it was like to go far away for college and why she decided to do that! Then we dive into what it was like being a woman of color in a predominately white sport in a white area. We talk about what that was like growing up and then how she experienced race and diversity as a college soccer player as well. Later we contemplate what the word “Justice” even means. This whole conversation is seasoned with faith in Christ and his grace. We hope you find this enlightening and encouraging. At the end of our conversation we dive into the idea of calling, that I think many of us struggle with.   The FAM is sponsored by Unite Health Share Ministries.

EPISODE 6  To live from the inside-out requires us to first understand how to listen to our own lives speak to us.

26. Cultivating Abundant Life Part 3: Work as Worship w/ Joe & Allison PriolaEveryone has a rhythm, or rule of life—patterns of living and being. The question is, do our rhythms support the life that Jesus invited us into, or are we being guided by a "thief" that destroys it (John 10).This episode is the third part of a mini-series on recalibrating our rhythm of life. We discuss the second prong of the trellis, Work. Joining Scott are friends Joe and Allison Priola. We discuss how our work is our God-given purpose (both paid and unpaid) and a way to reflect God in worship. We also talk about the practical questions: What skills and resources has God give me and my group? How can these gifts be a blessing to the community God has placed us in?Joe and Allison Priola are on national staff with Cru City, after many years of being area directors for Cru’s college campus ministry on the Central Coast and then San Diego.If you want to practice what is talked about on this episode, visit: http://www.EmotionallyHealthy.org/Team.

God Is Like A Hot Dog - Spiritual DisciplinesWhere do we get the idea of Spiritual Disciplines?What is the point of Spiritual Disciplines? They create space for God to transform us, they don’t actually do anything.Ruth’s big question: What do you long for?What if the problem is our hearts, not our priorities?We can’t shove spiritual transformation into the “nooks and crannies” of our life” - we have to work at it.“Your desire for more of God… is the truest thing about you. You might think that your woundedness or your sinfulness or… your job title or your identity somehow defines you, but in reality it is your desire for God and your capacity to want more of God that speaks to the deepest essence of who you are.”Solitude and silence. Luann and Hannah’s experiences.“The Rule of Life” a way to evaluate the state of your soulWhat if you’re a mess and the best you can do is “God is Like A Hot Dog…”How do you start? Answer the question ‘What does your heart want?’ and ‘Is there something better I can do with my time?’ ‘Do I desire God?’Show links:Sacred Rhythms - Arranging Our Lives For Spiritual Transformation by Ruth Haley Bartonhttps://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Rhythms-Arranging-Spiritual-Transformation/dp/0830833331/ref=asc_df_0830833331/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312154644197&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7058570571150838235&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027718&hvtargid=pla-493782514258&psc=1Let Your Life Speak - Listening for the Voice of Vocation by Robert Palmerhttps://www.amazon.com/Let-Your-Life-Speak-Listening/dp/0787947350Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard Fosterhttps://www.amazon.com/Celebration-Discipline-Special-Anniversary-Spiritual/dp/0062803883/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1548692599&sr=1-1&keywords=celebration+of+discipline+by+richard+fosterJames Coney Island hot dogshttp://www.jamesconeyisland.com/food-menu12 degrees of Silencehttp://reclusesmiss.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Twelve-degrees-of-silence.pdf

I have recently been thinking a lot about the intertwining of vocation and anxiety. What I mean by that is that it seems that part of the journey towards finding vocation is that anxiety is often along for the journey.   In my writing and speaking on anxiety, and in my work with clients, I talk a lot about listening to the voice of anxiety. I believe that anxiety speaks to our life and if we listen to it, it can help guide us along our life's journey. The problem is that we live in a culture that wants to bury and numb out anxiety as much as possible. And when we drown out anxiety, we can't hear how it is informing our life.   But there's also this other voice, and that is of vocation. Parker Palmer in his wonderful book, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation, talks about the Latin root of vocation, which is voce. It's literally a voice that is summoning you towards it.   And in this episode I want to explore how these two voices interact with each other and why that is important. I discuss: the voice of anxiety the voice of vocation how these two voices interact with each other the importance of discernment in distinguishing the voices and how they are guiding you.     Resources Mentioned in this Episode Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation by Parker Palmer The Anxious Christian: Can God Use Your Anxiety for Good? by Rhett Smith

"Our capacity to fail is essential to what we are." Costica Bradatan http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/in-praise-of-failure/ Startups fail. We hear it all the time. Failure is good. We hear that all the time too. But we rarely hear about the pain, the shame, and second guessing. And even worse, we rarely hear about what opportunities may lie for our own growth in something ending beyond the pivot and lessons learned. A startup failing is not proof that something is broken within you. In fact it’s an opening and opportunity to find something new within you and for you. Nick Russell was co-founder and CEO of UK based We are Pop-up. Nick joined Jerry on the very day he handed over the keys and closed up shop on his startup of 3+ years. In this discussion, Jerry and Nick talk about what he’s experiencing now, what he learned and wishes he had done differently, and a surprising path forward for him. It's a path that could be helpful for you in your own transitions.

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.” – Carl Jung. "Work is difficulty and drama, a high-stakes game in which our identity, our self-esteem, and our ability to provide are mixed inside us in a volatile, sometimes explosive ways.” That's David Whyte in his incredible book, "Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity". That volatile, explosive mix is a gift. It presents a tremendous opportunity for us to do our own work, our inner work, and further develop our own understanding of self. In our conversation today, Jerry is joined by Henry May, founder and CEO of CoSchool, based in Columbia. Henry comes to Jerry with this very issue: How might the journey of entrepreneurship, specifically his own, open up new opportunities for him to grow? Or said more directly: How might he use his work at Coschool to do the real work on his humanity?
