Winter and Rebecca talk about the good and the bad things that have happened after the loss of Adrian, who was stillborn at 38 weeks. Rebecca loves the poem "Go to the Limits of Your Longing" by Rainer Maria Rilke God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing.  Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in.  Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don't let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness.  Give me your hand.  DONATE $5 (aka "buy us a coffee/hot cocoa") to support the continued production of these stories.

And that's Number Five: You Already Possess What You Desire Most. And of course Dorothy's companions are classic examples of that in the most wonderful way. But to take that in, what does that really mean for me? What does that mean for you? It's really profound. We're rushing around looking outside ourselves for the things that we think matter most for money, for success, For me it might be courage. I tend to suffer from anxiety. And so courage. I would never think of myself as a courageous person but this Emerald is telling me I am a courageous person and that courage, I'm not going to find it elsewhere." On Mistakes "The notion that there are no mistakes, only lessons. And that's so huge. When I grew up and it was all about getting the answers right in school and not making a mistake. And what you really don't want to be is wrong. But what if you could just remove that? And what if it's just that life is a series of experiments and explorations and it's not going to be right or wrong, it's just you're going learn from them. So I'm going to take a different approach next time. What a relief that would be to be able to approach life that way." On the Beginner's Mind "As I look at the Emeralds, the first one is Listen to Your Longing. And that's from the amazing moment in the barnyard where Dorothy begins to sing. And what a valuable place to start that is for all of us to listen to that longing. What is it we long for? But the second one is See the Situation As If For the First Time. And that one comes from the moment when Dorothy steps out into Munchkin Land because the expression on her face is just this appreciation for the miraculous. It's like, Oh my gosh. And she's so open to it. And this is something that in Buddhism is called Beginne...

Hello Friends! As you know, we are in the middle of year-long series all about helping you to live healthily. I hope each episode offers a small tangible step to take that increases your happiness, builds better relationships, and makes you feel stronger. Today are talking to Dominic Done about his new book, Your Longing has a Name. The longing for purpose is hardwired into our souls. Why are we here, how should we live, and what is life? How can our souls flourish? The tragedy is that more and more Americans feel powerless daily to answer these vital questions. Dominic Done is the founder of Pursuing Faith and author of When Faith Fails. With a master's in theology from the University of Oxford, he has served as a pastor in Portland, Oregon; North Carolina; and Hawaii. Dominic has also taught English for companies in Europe, lectured in theology and history at various Christian colleges, worked as a radio DJ, and lived as a missionary in Vanuatu and Mexico. He and his wife, Elyssa, have a daughter, Amelia, and a fuzzy Goldendoodle, Bella. Listen in to learn more about : Dominic shares his vision of hope, revealing seven gifts God has provided for the soul's health. What is flourishing our soul, and how the health of our soul shapes the outcome of our life? How does flouring lead us to rebuild hose connection to remedy our loneliness? Jesus promises rest; how can soul care give us Jesus's rest and not our definition of rest?

In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the difference between “I am” and “I feel” when talking about how we're feeling, and learning to be present with our emotions without becoming them. They talk about not being committed to things playing out the same way they often played out in the past. How can we be intentional about creating different outcomes for holidays or seasons that have proven to be difficult? They discuss opinions versus truth, as well as the limitations created by all of the polarization in our world. When we get locked in our own certainty, we remain closed to new information and ideas. When we stay open to alternative ideas, we are likely to create more bridges of communication and understanding. RESPONSE REQUESTED: The friends ask listeners to go to heyjacobhiscott.com and share a desire they'd like to create for this new year, as well as something they want to release.

Abbey and Madison practice a bit of ecotheology in this special episode of Bristlecone Firesides in an attempt to demonstrate that Christianity is a natural religion. The Earth lives a continual pattern of change that enables the ever regeneration of life. From the seasons to the water cycle, the Earth forever in a state or process of change. This pattern of order, disorder, reorder is the pattern of the Gospel — Life, Death, and Resurrection. The magic in the universe is that dead things become the grounding for new life. In the life and death of Jesus, this becomes a Resurrection Journey. By re-grounding the good news of the Gospel in natural Earth processes, we see that the Gospel is bigger than any Church and is a force of nature. And that Faith is much more about saying “yes” to this Journey and experiencing our membership in the Family of Things Links: Book of Nature An Early Resurrection by Adam Miller Why the Church is as True as the Gospel by Eugene England Convergent Evolution Go to the Limits of Your Longing by Rilke Wild Geese by Mary Oliver The post 08: Nature's Gospel and the Way of Resurrection appeared first on Bristlecone Firesides.
