Restlessness
Episode description
Adrianna, Giuli and Sofi discuss restlessness. What does the experience of dissatisfied longing reveal about our hearts? How does contemporary society tend to anesthetize our restlessness? Where have we seen that our restlessness can become a path to discovering the presence of Christ, through prayer and companionship? //
Our media recommendation is Josh Garrels’ song Ulysses, which you can find on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3YKD_qKVwM. And our monthly challenge is to meet up with a friend to share your experiences of restlessness, past and present, and to discuss how you might befriend your restlessness. //
