Our monthly book club has returned, and we are discussing Michelle DeRusha's book "Katharina and Martin Luther: the Radical Marriage of a Runaway Nun and a Renegade Monk." If you can't tell, Gretchen and Katie enjoyed this book immensely, and found this book to be a page turner. This is a story of the rubber meeting the road, when it comes to the theology of Martin Luther. Katharina or "Katie" as he called her, was in the first group of nuns that ranaway from their cloister, because of the reformation writings he was putting out at the time--most likely his writings stating that anyone who took monastic vows under compultion are free to live their lives in the freedom of the Christian. Martin and Katharina were not in love when they got married, and neither one was the other's first choice. But love did grow in their marriage, and they had children, lost children, and took a bunch of extra children in. This author takes a lot of time to explain the cultural and historical context of Martin and Katharina's marriage, which makes this story even more radical, heartwarming, and sometimes dangerous.

What happens when a writer makes it into the publishing world...and then decides that kind of writing life isn't for them? Today we're talking with author Michelle Derusha about her journey through publishing, the highs of signing contracts for four traditionally published books...and what happens when our first forays into that world are marked by disappointment. She explains how publishing crushed her writing soul and how she rediscovered herself...by walking away and journeying back into the heart of who she is.

Y'all. We are beyond excited to launch Season 2 and our Enneagram series with author Michelle DeRusha who identifies as an Enneagram 3!!! Michelle offers such great insight for life in general and speaks eloquently to the Type 3 qualities in all of us. Hope and Mary recorded this episode on Oct 17, 2019 and Mary shares the significance of that date. Tips from Michelle (Type 3): Slow down and ask self how present you are in the moment. Ask what you are thinking and feeling right now and explore different opportunities to discover what YOU really like, apart from producing something or being what someone else wants you to be. Major quote: “Once you know that, you can't un-know it. I just couldn't go on pretending”. How to show love to 3s: Read up/learn about Enneagram 3s. Really take time to listen, give space for a 3 to recognize and change the cycles and be understanding about the work it takes to do so.

This a great conversation on quiet, stillness, habits, and brain neural pathways. You’ll love learning about why our brains react against stillness and quiet. even task-positive network and default mode network in the brain and how this all fits into how we connect with God. A Massachusetts native, Michelle DeRusha moved to Nebraska in 2001, where she discovered the Great Plains, grasshoppers the size of Cornish hens ... and God. She writes about listening to your soul speak at michellederusha.com, as well as a monthly column for the Lincoln Journal Star. Michelle earned a Bachelor's Degree in English from the University of Massachusetts and a Master's Degree in English from the University of Connecticut. She worked as a magazine writer and editor in New York City, a PR and marketing specialist for a community college and a fundraiser for PBS and NPR before settling down into her career and calling as a writer. Here’s why you should listen: If you’re longing to connect with God, be present to yourself and people around you, you’ll want to see how something as small as 5 minutes of quiet a day has reframed our guest today. Stick around: You’ll get one small step to help you connect yourself to God and the wider community of faith at the end. SHARE “Ultimately coming to understand your identity as a child of God, is that you’ll naturally start to turn outward to community.” @michellederusha on #FindingHolyPodcast “Our brain literally forgets how to rest.” Listen to @michellederusha on our restless age and what can help on #TheFindingHolyPodcast with @aahales “I practiced directed rest and it took weeks before I could push below that upper level of distraction.” @michellederusha LINKS Link to purchase Michelle’s latest book, True You: https://amzn.to/2K7e1LU Link to purchase 50 Women Every Christian Should Know: https://amzn.to/2MQ2qmL Link to purchase Katarina and Martin Luther: https://amzn.to/2ML2aVI Link to purchase Spiritual Misfit: https://amzn.to/2KDGLLt Michelle’s website: http://michellederusha.com NEXT SMALL STEP: The point isn’t just about being silent or even paying attention to nature. Ultimately we need to know ourselves well enough to know what we each need to do to pay attention to how we connect to God. Michelle talks about how embracing silence allowed her to get to her true self – the self exposed before God. Let’s try something small just like Michelle: if 5 minutes feels like a lot, even start with 2 minutes of quiet a day. Put an alarm on the phone and practice 2 (or 5) minutes of silence. You might even have to lock yourself in a bathroom, but it’s worth it! Before you begin give your time of quiet to God, asking him to focus your mind and return your attention and affections to him in your moments of directed rest.

Mud Stories with Jacque Watkins - Messy moments worked for our good
Doubt, unbelief, and more questions than answers plagued Michelle DeRusha for over twenty years, as she lived the life of a spiritual misfit. Michelle shares her journey back toward faith and her discovery of a God who loves us no matter what and offers us grace time and time again.
Today we interview Michelle DeRusha. I found out about Michelle when I was reading one of my favorite blogs – Lisa Jo Baker, and she did a review on Michelle’s new book, 50 Women Every Christian Should Know. I was interested in the topic, so of course I clicked on over to Michelle’s (terrific!) website and asked her if she would be willing to share her time with us. She graciously agreed, and so today, smack-dab in the middle of her launch week, she’s our guest. I know you will love her transparency and willingness to share some of the hard stuff in her faith walk. Enjoy! Key Ideas: Part 1: Interview What to do when you are really all alone The power of authenticity The surprising message of Love and Grace Why we should not let roadblocks stop us Part 2: Risking Humility: A fresh look at Authenticity A thought on how humility and authenticity are really 2 sides of the same coin. Website links: www.michellederusha.com This is Michelle’s creative, helpful, interesting home base. She’s got links to her books, relevant articles and fun give-aways. It’s worth a visit for sure! Kay’s Recommended Reading: Spiritual Misfit: A Memoir of Uneasy Faith, by Michelle DeRusha. An honest look at a faith journey – especially for those questioning their own beliefs. 50 Women Every Christian Should Know: Learning from Heroines of the Faith, by Michelle DeRusha. I’m loving this book. Very inspirational. I’m actually using it as the recommended reading for a teen-age retreat I’m doing in October. It’s so powerful to read about these women of faith – guess what? They are a whole lot like you and me. Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic, by Martha Beck. This book looks great! Can’t wait to read it. Encouraging Word of the Week: Colossians 3:12-14 (again!) “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Question: What was your favorite part of this interview? Do you get uncomfortable very often? Why/why not? And do you risk humility? I’d love to hear your thoughts. The post #023: Michelle DeRusha – Spiritual Misfit and 50 Women Every Christian Should Know (Podcast) appeared first on Christy Largent.
