Consider this podcast a rogue harmony of professional development and self-care, hosted by John Bergquist and Chris Skaggs.What’s covered in this episode: What are our goals with this podcast and with Soma Soulworks?“If Soma’s mission is to be apostolic, we are trying to live out and demonstrate cultural values. What does it mean to be believers in Christ in a very, just, normal world?” - Chris SkaggsThis podcast places an emphasis on processing specific issues together, rather than trying to bring answers. “If Tempus Divum is curriculum-based, Soma Soulworks is processing time,” Chris explains. “I don’t want to be the ‘answer place’, if I can just be the ‘honesty place’. That’s enough.”We hope this can be a place of connection; it can be helpful to realize there are others out there wrestling with the same things you are. Our main goal is to follow what the Holy Spirit is doing.We live on an external and internal level, Mark says. It’s easy to be known by your external life, but it’s harder to be vulnerable and to be known on an internal one. The temptation to be fake and performative is pervasive and exhausting. We need an opportunity to embrace, rather than shy away from, our internal lives.Jesus wants to meet you where you’re at. He recognized people and really saw them in what they were doing, and yet he called them to so much more and wanted to unpack where they were at, Mark observes. What kind of resources and practices are we cultivating?Weekly Jesus timesWeekend prayers and contemplationsTempus Divum (this has additional resources and questions)Resources mentioned:Sign up for the Tempus Divum newsletter Bootcamp NorthwestEmail us ideas, questions, or suggestions at [email protected]

    Holy Grieving, Revisited

    Release Date: 07/30/2020

    Description: Dear Soma SoulWorks Followers,I am deeply saddened to share that John "JB" Bergquist, the dreamer and co-creator of this podcast, passed away on Sunday. On Sunday, July 26th, JB and his wife and daughter were traveling home from camping and were hit by another driver in the wrong lane. JB was killed nearly instantly. His wife, Kristine, and daughter, Natalie, were taken to the hospital with injuries. Both will be physically okay. Kristine is recovering from broken ribs and Natalie from a broken femur. August, JB's son, was at work and not in the accident. As you might imagine, this is a really, really hard time for his family, his coworkers, and the hundreds of friends that JB had. JB was one of those guys who had 500+ social media connections and actually knew each person.For our Soma team, JB was more than a Marketing Director and more than a manager. He was a friend and mentor to most of our team and played a pastoral role in many of our lives. His passing leaves a sizable gap in our daily rhythms. Understandably, our team is grieving. This week, we are re-sharing the episode on Holy Grieving because that's what's real and authentic for us right now. Soma SoulWorks & Soma SoulWorks Podcast will continue -- it's what JB would want. However, we may need a couple weeks of bereavement. If you have any questions or comments, please email [email protected] and we'll direct your email to the appropriate person.To help the family, please check out the Go Fund Me or Meal Train links below:Bergquist Family Go Fund Me Bergquist Family Meal Train (includes option for takeout gift cards)
