20:57

This statement by my spiritual direction professor, Robert Woodcock, peaked my curiosity: “We sometimes forget that there are two people in this relationship, us and God.

Ep. 61 Becoming Good Soil for Scripture: The First Step to Lectio Divina 29:13

7M ago29:13

29:13

We've become such a fast culture. Becoming good soil for the word takes an intentional step. Otherwise, our time in scripture feels more like coming up to the drive thru window for fast food.

I have learned to prize holy ignorance more highly than religious certainty and to seek companions who have arrived at the same place.

As Madeleine L'Engle said, "It’s a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet and what is san…
