Jesus modeled what this looks like with his regular rhythms of getting away to seek his Father in prayer (Mark 1:35, Luke 5:15-16, Matthew 14:23, etc.) We are called to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and “pray in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18) but what does...

If you haven’t listened to Part 1, please pause and listen first as this discussion builds off of the last one.If you have listened, here’s a quick recap: Discernment is a word that is used a lot, but equally misunderstood.

Recognizing and Responding to God Part 1 w/ Grace WilkinsonIn this new season of One Another, Scott and Grace discuss the all important, yet often confused topic of discernment. Most of us think of discernment as solely decision making. However, the biblical discernment is both recognizing and responding to God in ordinary, everyday life—not just in big decisions. Or, as St. Ignatius writes, "Finding God in all things in order that we might love and serve God in all." This means that the heart of discernment is relationship. That is, regardless of the ou...

Thomas Keating calls "divine therapy". Though our instincts may tell us to self-protect (false self), avoid, or attempt to get rid of afflictive emotions, such as anger, fear, sadness, etc., our truer self invites us in with hospitality and compassion. That is, it's vital that we befriend our false self this way. Why? Because that which we ignore tyrannizes us...

Delving Difficult People Part 1: Gremlins Meet Thomas KeatingWe typically think of "difficult people" as people out there that cause our consternation. However, one cannot spell "difficult" without an "I"—two I's to be exact. Those two “i”s represent two core aspects of our experience as human beings: Most often referred to as our true self (the self God created to be in loving, free relationship and enjoy God and others forever), and the false self, which is the self we began to construct in childhood to protect ourselves. It’s the self we unconsciously believe others want us...

As David Augsburger wrote, “Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.” And yet, few people experience being truly listened to. If listening is so vital to our humanity, then why is it so difficult?One myth of small groups is that a leader's role is to dispense information and have the right answers. But Jesus rarely gave direct answers, and freq...
