from Dads On Tap · host Scott Mawdesley
Most dads don’t struggle with wanting rest—they struggle with knowing how to actually experience it. In this episode, Scott moves from theory to practice, sharing 4 simple, powerful contemplative practices that slow your mind and reconnect you with God in the middle of your busy life. Drawing from his personal practice and his experience leading The Soul Retreat in the mountains of Western North Carolina, he walks through breath as a return to God’s life within you, visual practice to see God through nature, auditory practice to hear His voice in the quiet, and engaging Scripture through the ancient practice of Lectio Divina. This is a practical guide for any dad who feels overwhelmed, distracted, or spiritually dry—and is ready to bring the best of who he is to every moment.
