Autumn

Autumn is creation’s way to display the beauty of transformation.

I hope that you will not allow the leaves to change and fall this year without allowing them to ask you these question below as they fall and are transformed.

  • What needs to go?
  • What have I convinced myself of as necessary that is actually unnecessary? 
  • Who must I become in this season to get me to become who I need to be in my next season?

 

Episode 37: The Unexpected Gifts of The Contemplative with Chris Heuertz

Chris Heuertz has spent his life bearing witness to the possibility of hope among a world that has legitimate reasons to question God’s goodness.

Named one of Outreach magazine’s “30 Emerging Influencers Reshaping Leadership,” Chris is a curator of unlikely friendships, an instigator for good, a champion of collaboration, and a witness to hope, Chris fights for a renewal of contemplative activism.

In this episode, Chris illuminates three gifts of contemplative spirituality: an awakened sense of our true identity, an acceptance that everything belongs, and an ability to root ourselves in the gifts of community.

The busy badge…

…has to start being called what it really is.

First, it is not working for us.

Secondly, it is not real.

Lastly, it only numbs reality.

Are you fulfilled?

If so, you’ll have no need to show a badge.
