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.

The Song

There’s a song being written with billions and billions of instruments.

It’s the song of us. 

Together.

As one.

And one of the instruments in this song is you.

To contribute a verse in this grand symphony of humanity is of the highest vocation. 

Indeed, this unfolding symphony just so happens to exist right now in the cosmos and is taking us to a place that is better.

Better than we can imagine.

Right now.

Here.

In this place.

Today.
