Cindy's work highlights the significant impact of women in relational spheres and religious communities. These women invested deeply in intergenerational friendships and spiritual kinship as they sought to be faithful to God. Cindy reminds us that we can learn much from them today as we strive to support one another in an increasingly isolated world.

When I thought about doing a series on Mysteries of Faith, one of the very first topics that came to my mind was prayer. Now, I've been a Christian since I was 5. Prayer has always been a part of my life. But if I'm honest, there are elements about prayer that I always just accepted as true, nodded my head at, and then moved on with the general way I've always prayed. As I got older though, I started to wonder about some things the way I imagine many of you wonder about prayer too. “Do my prayers really move God to act?” “Is there a proper way to pray?” “Why doesn't God seem to answer all of my prayers?” I knew of prayer as talking with God, I even would say I knew why God wanted me to pray, but there were so many spiritual elements of prayer that were still so mysterious to me. Prayer is a completely spiritual practice. With Bible-reading, we're at least engaging with a book. Prayer, on the other hand, is totally spiritual so I was excited to dive into some of the more deeply spiritual elements of prayer with my friend Dr. Kyle Strobel. Kyle Strobel is Associate Professor of Spiritual Theology at Talbot and author of the book Where Prayer Becomes Real: How Honesty with God Transforms Your Soul. Kyle has been on this podcast a few times in the past, once to talk specifically about his book on prayer, but today I invited him on to pull back the curtain on some of the more mysterious elements of prayer – what is really happening spiritually when we pray. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Preaching for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Donna Orsuto offers a reflection on responding faithfully to God's call in our lives today: "So, this week, as we ponder Jesus looking at us, loving us, and calling us to follow him, I encourage you to pray for Wisdom. Plead for this precious gift which will put your heart right. Make an effort to read the Word of God each day and let that Word do its work in you each day. This is really important because we have practical decisions to make. Jesus is calling us to follow him now — today — and we do not want to go away sad." Donna Orsuto hails from Ashtabula, Ohio (USA), but has lived in Rome for nearly five decades.  She is currently serving as the Director of the Department of Moral Theology and Spiritual Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University where she has been teaching since 1990. She has authored two books and numerous articles in the area of spirituality. Orsuto is also co-founder of The Lay Centre at Foyer Unitas (www.laycentre.org), which is dedicated to creating community and offering formation and leadership opportunities for lay women and men studying at pontifical universities.

In this conversation, Kyle discusses the concept of the sanctification gap and its implications for the Christian life. Looking at Richard Lovelace's account and well as John Coe's development, Kyle attends to how we can utilize this category fruitfully in our own formation. Kyle emphasizes the importance of drawing near to God in the reality of who we are, rather than turning to oneself as a way to generate or mimic an ideal. He encourages a holistic approach to spiritual theology that incorporates insights from the broader Christian tradition.00:00 Introduction and Background05:21 The Rich Tradition of Spiritual Theology07:20 The Experiential Gap and the Importance of Drawing Near09:45 The Role of Spiritual Theology in the Christian Life14:01 Embracing the Wisdom of the Christian Tradition16:34 Moving from an Idealistic to an Evangelical Approach21:48 Recognizing Our Need for Forgiveness24:22 Navigating the Sanctification Gap in PrayerResources mentioned: Richard Lovelace, Dynamics of Spiritual Life: An Evangelical Theology of Renewal.John Coe, “Spiritual Theology: A Theological-Experiential Methodology for Bridging the Sanctification Gap” in The Journal of Spiritual Formation & Soul Care 2:1 (2009).Kyle Strobel, Formed for the Glory of God: Learning from the Spiritual Practices of Jonathan Edwards.

Introducing Visitation SessionsFor over a year now, I've been toying with the idea of starting a podcast. This is partly because I love good conversations, and those have become almost impossible to have on social media these days. It's also because I've wanted you to know my husband Chris better. He is one of the healthiest, wisest, and most mature Christian men I know, and I think a lot of you would enjoy (and benefit from) hearing more of what he has to say.Up until now, this has remained only an idea because I didn't have the technical knowledge needed to produce a high quality podcast. Then, my good friend Kate Stapleton and I got to talking. Kate and her husband Casey are musicians who are working on their third album together. Every summer, they load their six children into their big blue converted school bus, and travel the country on tour. When they're not touring, Casey, like Chris, teaches theology at a Catholic high school in Pittsburgh. Kate and Casey are two of the most fascinating people you will ever meet, and Casey is a tech wizard, who does all the producing on their albums. How fun would it be, we thought, to do a podcast together, as married couples and friends?And it has been fun. Not just because this is allowing us to have the most uninterrupted conversations we've ever had (something that never happens when nine kids are around), but also because conversations about the things that matter are always life-giving. In conversation with others, we discover not only new dimensions to truth, but also new dimensions to ourselves. Our hope with this podcast is to invite you into these conversations, so you can make those discoveries along with us. We're not here to teach you the Faith, but to share with you how we are living the Faith—and struggling with it, stumbling through it, and being changed by it. This isn't a podcast that aims to give you all the answers, wrapped up in a neat and tidy black and white package. But it is a podcast that aims to show you the beauty of asking questions and listening to others and encountering Christ in the midst of it all.Show Notes:Here are links to books mentioned on the show and the books we're reading.Spiritual Theology by Jordan AumannThe Temperament God Gave You by Art and Laraine BennettThe Catholic Table: Finding Joy Where Food and Faith Meet by Emily Stimpson ChapmanAround the Catholic Table: 77 Recipes for Easy Hospitality and Everyday Dinners by Emily Stimpson ChapmanThe Political Economy of Distributes: Property, Liberty, and the Common Good by Alexander William SalterAtonement: Soundings in Biblical, Trinitarian, and Spiritual Theologyby Margaret M.

Today's episode is the final episode of our series on Spiritual Theology.The first half of the pod focuses on St. Ignatius of Antioch, and his approach to the spiritual life, spiritual warfare, and living a life in imitation of Christ. The second half is taken up with a response I gave to a question that was asked of me on how we are meant to receive Ignatius' comments on being submissive to spiritual attacks when we also want to be sensitive to people who deal with issues like domestic violence or abuse, or who happen to deal with great tragedies in their lives.In other words, how do we deal with the tragedy and violence in the world that we might be on the receiving end of, and how do we act in imitation of Christ, without justifying it or making excuses for it. I edited out the question for the sake of that person's anonymity, but it prompted some good discussion and I wanted to include that in the episode because I thought it was interesting. I was recovering from a cold at the time, and my voice and breathing is a bit raspy, so I hope you'll forgive me for that.Theology & Reality is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Much of what I speak about here today can be found in the most significant book on St. Ignatius of Antioch in the modern period, Learning Christ: Ignatius of Antioch and the Mystery of Redemption by Dr. Gregory Vall, an expert theologian and biblical scholar whose course on St. Ignatius and the Apostolic Fathers I was privileged to take while a doctoral student. I can credit Dr. Vall's lectures and book with anything edifying I have to say about Ignatius.The quotations of Ignatius in the lecture are taken either from Dr. Vall's book—whose work includes original translations of Ignatius—or from the Greek/English edition of the Apostolic Fathers translated by Michael Holmes.

When Dr. Larry Crabb approached Scripture, he asked the question: "What questions has God answered for us?" His study produced a framework of understanding that he called "The Seven Questions of Spiritual Theology." This was the foundation of his Schools of Spiritual Directions training, and during 2024, Larger Story will be sharing recordings of Dr. Larry Crabb that have not previously been released. During each month this year, on our podcast, in our book club, and on our blog, we'll be exploring the 7 questions of Spiritual Theology, why they matter, and how they can help us become people who are more like Jesus. This week's episode provides Dr. Crabb's introduction to the first question: "Who is God?"

Dr. Margaret Turek is Academic Dean and Professor of Dogmatics at St Patrick Seminary and University in Menlo Park, California. Her book, Atonement: Soundings in Biblical, Trinitarian, and Spiritual Theology, presents the chief insights concerning the mystery of atonement in the works of four theological guides: John Paul II, Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Norbert Hoffmann. The book's central aim is to deepen our understanding of the biblical claim that God shows himself to be love precisely by sending his Son as atonement. "In this is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins" (1 Jn 4:10). The book develops a compelling vision of atonement as a process that originates from and is engendered by God's own power to love. This vision not only takes account of the gravity of sin and its consequences, but also provides a clear illumination of the wholly gratuitous, radically forgiving, passionate and powerful nature of God's redeeming love for mankind. Distinct from the majority of theological accounts of atonement, which focus almost exclusively on the role of Christ, this book highlights the role of God the Father in the atoning mission of the Son.

What is the most recognizable hymn of all time-- Many of you would likely say, Amazing Grace. We often hear this song at a vigil or remembrance service or perhaps played on bagpipes. Regardless of where or how this hymn is performed, it's stood the test of time for 250 years.--Do you know the story behind the song and the man who wrote this testimonial of the faith----Bruce Hindmarsh is the James M. Houston Professor of Spiritual Theology and Professor of the History of Christianity at Regent College in Vancouver.

What is the most recognizable hymn of all time-- Many of you would likely say, Amazing Grace. We often hear this song at a vigil or remembrance service or perhaps played on bagpipes. Regardless of where or how this hymn is performed, it's stood the test of time for 250 years.--Do you know the story behind the song and the man who wrote this testimonial of the faith----Bruce Hindmarsh is the James M.

We are continuing our series on the Five Essential Marks of Catholic Schools, talking about the second essential mark - "Founded on a Christian Anthropology." For today's episode, we will be joined by Dr. Anthony Lilles, Professor of Spiritual Theology and Director of the M.A. Program at St. Patrick's Seminary and University in Menlo Park, CA. Perhaps there is no other Mark that is more crucial to affirm or more “under fire” in today's culture than this one. We are in a time where the entire notion of the human person is being re-defined. We will explore what is meant by a Christian Anthropology, some of the implications of our current cultural pressures in this area and how we can strengthen this foundation.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mt 26:14-25 - One of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver, and from that time on he looked for an opportunity to hand Him over. On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and said, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?" He said, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with My disciples.""' The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered, and prepared the Passover. When it was evening, He reclined at table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, He said, "Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray Me." Deeply distressed at this, they began to say to Him one after another, "Surely it is not I, Lord?" He said in reply, "He who has dipped his hand into the dish with Me is the one who will betray Me. The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born." Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" He answered, "You have said so." Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3) Father Basil Cole, OP, STD, Professor of Moral & Spiritual Theology, on his book Angelic Virtues and DemonicVices: Aquinas's Practical Principles for Reaching Heaven and Avoiding Hell 4) Update with Church Militant on news as it relates to the Church & Culture

On Friday, January 1, 1773, a pastor of a small church debuted a hymn that he wrote to accompany his New Year's Day sermon. He called it “Faith's Review and Expectation” — not exactly an exciting title. And yet little did he or his congregation know this humble chorus would go on to be the most-sung song in the English language: Amazing Grace.  On today's episode of the Great Stories podcast, Charles Morris speaks with Bruce Hindmarsh, a professor of Spiritual Theology and Christian History at Regent College Vancouver, a John Newton scholar, and co-author of the new book Amazing Grace: The Life of John Newton and the Surprising Story Behind His Song.  When you listen, you'll find out how Newton's life was difficult, utterly sinful at times, and littered with contradictions ... and yet Christ offered him grace and he eventually repented. If you've ever been moved by the hymn Amazing Grace, then this episode is for you.

"If you don't really understand religion, if you don't understand faith, if you don't understand theology, you can't really understand the modern world.""Words make worlds," says one of my podcasting heroes, Krista Tippett. Ask any poet, priest, or politician, and they'll agree. Language does have that power, for better or for worse.But whatever power our words have to make a world that we can then ourselves inhabit—that power is drawn from the archetypal Word—the Word made flesh, by whom all things are made and in whom all things are held together, and for whom all tongues confess.So this simple definition offered by Bishop Graham Tomlin, that theology is just "words about God" is actually quite expansive. When our words about God are directed first toward God, but then toward the church and the world, theology lives up to its purpose of worship, reform, and witness. Graham Tomlin is President of St. Mellitus College and author of many books of theology and Christian spirituality. He recently completed his tenure as Bishop of Kensington and now leads the Church of England's Center for Cultural Witness. He joins Matt Croasmun today for a conversation about the meaning and potential of theology. Thanks for listening.About Graham TomlinThe Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin is President of St Mellitus College and Bishop of Kensington. He served a curacy in the diocese of Exeter, and among past roles he has served as Chaplain of Jesus College, Oxford and Vice Principal of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, where he taught within the Theology Faculty of Oxford University on Historical Theology, specializing in the Reformation period. He was closely involved in the foundation, and was appointed the first Dean, of St Mellitus College, a position he held for the first eight years of the College's life, before being made Bishop of Kensington in 2015. He has spoken and lectured across the world, and in 2016 was awarded the Silver Rose of St Nicholas, a global award recognizing a significant contribution to theological education and learning. He was very involved in the response to the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. He is married to Janet and has two married children and three grandchildren. He is a keen follower of various kinds of music and sport, suffering a lifelong addiction to Bristol City Football Club.Show NotesThe Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin is President of St Mellitus College and Bishop of Kensington.What's going well with theologyTheology connecting in the church; the church as context for theologySpiritual theology deepening and nurturing human lifeEllen Charry and thinking about eudaimonia in theological contextChallenges to theologyFragmentationThree audiences for theology: God, Church, and WorldAudience 1: God.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the incredible, world-renown theologian Dr. Margaret Turek to provide the Catholic case for the atonement. And, boy, is it ever incredible!Dr. Turek lays out in beautiful depth and poetry, the whole of salvation history. Why Jesus had to come, die, and rise from the dead. Why Jesus had to die the way He did. What was the Father's role in "abandoning" Christ on the cross? And what do Catholics believe about it all. This episode is, simply put, the very best case for how the Catholic Church understands atonement as you'll ever find – I'm sure of it! If you have questions about what Catholics believe about the crucifixion, Easter, the Passion of Christ, Good Friday, satisfaction, justification, sanctification, or grace ... this is the episode for you!For more from Dr. Margaret Turek check out her book from Ignatius Press, Atonement: Soundings in Biblical, Trinitarian, and Spiritual Theology.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

How do you heal from trauma—whether individual, familial, or collective? Can Christian spirituality help? The tumultuous time we find ourselves in serves up regular doses of the suffering and pain of others—war wages destruction, migrants are left to die of heat exposure, hate crimes based in bigotry and fear of ethnicity or orientation or identity leave us all feeling numbed to our humanity; and with the aid of our phones, we even risk a dependency relationship with that trauma. It's constantly leveraged for political gain, power, money, or ugly fame. If we see the game of human culture as a zero-sum struggle for power, someone's political gain is always another's loss. Someone's joy another's sorrow.How are we supposed to find our human siblings? Add to this the unspoken trauma that haunts so many of us—myself, you listeners, that person in your life who seems strong and impervious to harm—we all carry our lifetime's worth of trauma even if we act like it's not there. But as Bessel Vander Kolk's best selling title captures so well, even when your conscious mind does that surreptitious work to ignore, deny, suppress, or forget trauma—"the body knows the score." But perhaps so too the spirit knows the score.Today, Bo Karen Lee joins Ryan McAnnally-Linz for a conversation on trauma and Ignatian spirituality. Bo is Associate Professor of Spiritual Theology and Christian Formation at Princeton Theological Seminary, and has written and taught contemplative theology, prayer, and the connection between spirituality and social justice.This conversation is a beautiful and sensitive—and sometimes quite raw—exploration of trauma and the human experience. But the clarity and courage reflected in Bo's presentation of how trauma threatens the human mind and body is matched by a powerful empathy and peace, as she reflects on moving through a spiritual journey from victim or bystander of trauma to a beloved, seen, known, and loved by God and other deeply caring helpers. The discussion that follows offers a concise introduction to the Ignatian spiritual tradition, as well as a holistic comment on how trauma at the individual, genetic, family, and national level can be acknowledged, addressed, and acted on.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of the Tyndale House Foundation. For more information, visit tyndale.foundation.AboutBo Karen Lee, ThM '99, PhD '07, is associate professor of spiritual theology and Christian formation at Princeton Theological Seminary.

Her book, Sacrifice and Delight in the Mystical Theologies of Anna Maria van Schurman and Madame Jeanne Guyon, argues that surrender of self to God can lead to the deepest joy in God. She has recently completed a volume, The Soul of Higher Education, which explores contemplative pedagogies and research strategies. A recipient of the John Templeton Award for Theological Promise, she gave a series of international lectures that included the topic, “The Face of the Other: An Ethic of Delight.”She is a member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women, and the American Academy of Religion; she recently served on the Governing Board of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality, and is on the editorial board of the journal, Spirtus, as well as on the steering committee of the Christian Theology and Bible Group of the Society of Biblical Literature.

“Prayers are tools not for doing or getting, but for being and becoming.” These are words of the late legendary biblical interpreter and teacher Eugene Peterson. At the back of the church he pastored for nearly three decades, you'd be likely to find well-worn copies of books by Wallace Stegner or Denise Levertov. Frustrated with the unimaginative way he found his congregants treating their Bibles, he translated the whole thing himself and that translation has sold millions of copies around the world. Eugene Peterson's literary biblical imagination formed generations of pastors, teachers, and readers. His down-to-earth faith hinged on a love of metaphor and a commitment to the Bible's poetry as what keeps it alive to the world.Eugene Peterson wrote over 30 books including Answering God, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: A Conversation in Spiritual Theology, and The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language. In 2021, a Lenten sermon series of his was published posthumously with the title: This Hallelujah Banquet: How the End of What We Were Reveals Who We Can Be. He served as the pastor of Christ Our King Presbyterian Church for 29 years. He spent the last years of his life with his wife, Jan, at the home his father built in Lakeside, Montana, just outside Glacier National Park. That's where he was when he spoke with Krista in 2016, two years before he died at the age of 85.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.This show originally aired in December 2016.
