#114 Being Shaped by God

In this episode we discuss the difference between allowing ourselves to be shaped by God (becoming) and striving (do it yourself, try hard, push).

We are not self-improvement-project’s, rather, we’re created with beauty and goodness for a purpose. Let’s live this way, and enjoy the inner peace that follows.

#98 How to Turn a Stressful Thought Around

This year (well, in 2022) I found Byron Katie’s work and while I want to say I do not follow her work as a spiritual practice I do use a couple of her concepts as tools. One of those concepts is to do what she calls a “turnaround”. Turnarounds are when you take a thought and look at it from every possible angle and opposite and find a statement as true, or truer than what you had been thinking previously. This helps you release the stress a thought is causing you. Show notes: ⁠ https://www.paige...
