Welcome Friends, we're so glad you're here! In this episode, we continue our conversation around the invitation to More with the themes of lack and abundance, but in Part 2 we’re using the language of empty (emptied) and full (filled, fullness). This language reminds me of when my daughters were in preschool. They learned at a young age, this idea …

I trust God, but I don't always trust God. Yikes, that feels vulnerable to say out loud! So glad you're here for a great conversation about how we are invited to a life of More (i.e., peace, love, connection) and yet, so often we find ourselves living from a place of lack (i.e., resources, time, energy). Grace and mercy abound as we talk about the …

Today we start a new series entitled, Questions People Ask Jesus. What’s so amazing to me is that the questions people asked Jesus over 2000 years ago are still questions we ask today. How do we live in the tension of these questions that never seem to go away? In this episode we’re asking...Who Is My Neighbour? Liz, beautifully helps us to underst…

In our third episode of Soul Feast, we’re exploring the ideas of guilt and confession - wondering, what is at the root of our experience of feeling “guilty”? Another way of asking this is: “What is your emotion of “guilt” communicating to you? "Guilt is an emotion that we experience when we fall short of our own expectations or standards." - Brené …

In our Lenten series, Soul Feast, we’re using the dual lens of Counselling Therapist (Liz Kahle) and Christian Spirituality (Pastor Cari) in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding of what our soul is, how to become more aware of our soul, and what it may be communicating to us right now. The basic definition we’re using for the soul comes from the…

Welcome back friends! Once again, we're dancing our way through a conversation on spiritual rhythms, as we seek to find connection with God in the Ordinary. The “unforced rhythms of grace” that flow from our lives are meant to feel as natural as breathing. Yet, rarely is creating healthy and long-lasting habits, patterns or rhythms - quick and easy…

In this episode, we discuss 'rhythms' - looking specifically at spiritual rhythms (or spiritual disciplines). Rhythms are the ways we intentionally seek spaces of connection with God, each other, and ourselves. The new year is always a good time to pause, reflect and consider how our habits, patterns, routines, and ways of being are serving us or n…

During the season of Advent, joy is an important part of our waiting and anticipation for Jesus’ coming – to restore – to heal – to save. However, if we’re honest, joy may not be as easy to cultivate or as comfortable as we’d like it to be – or think it should be. Joy can often feel fleeting and imaginary. Even in the midst of some of our most joyo…
