Have you ever wondered if there's more to spirituality than traditional practices? Join Shelly Shepherd and Heather Drake on a personal and historical journey, where we unearth the divine in the unexpected — from the beauty of a desert drive to the peak of a mountain hike. We weave tales of Joan of Arc, Jesus, and childhood mysticism, inviting you to rediscover the sacred voices that have called to you throughout your life. Heather shares her revelation of Jesus in a modern context, offering fresh spiritual exercises that stir the soul and encourage co-creation with the Spirit.
The hustle of life often drowns out the sacred 'voice' we long to hear, leaving us adrift in a sea of 'noise.' Through the lens of Mary and Martha's story, we illuminate the struggle between being productive and being present. This episode challenges you to embrace the transformative power of sitting in love's presence, a state that can lead us back to our true source, sparking creativity and bringing harmony to our inner chaos. It's an invitation to slow down and savor the divine connections that flourish in stillness, rather than the ceaseless buzz of busyness.
Lastly, we delve into the art of spiritual attunement, comparing the heart's tuning to the delicate process musicians undergo with their instruments. The wisdom of mystics like Hadewijch of Brabant and Thomas Keating guide our discussion on the simplicity of encountering God in the mundane and the profound healing offered through practices like centering prayer. As you join us, you'll find encouragement to trust in goodness, embrace renewal, and deepen your awareness of the divine that gracefully orchestrates the world around you.
